Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
These trainers require no setup. They are ready to wear straight out of the box.
Compatibility:
The New Balance 2002R trainers are designed for adult male footwear sizing (UK 8.5 in this specific model). They are compatible with standard adult foot sizes.
Care:
- Cleaning the Upper: For leather and suede sections, use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, a slightly damp cloth can be used on leather. Suede should be cleaned with a dedicated suede cleaner and brush. Avoid soaking the shoes.
- Midsole and Outsole: Wipe with a damp cloth. For tougher dirt on the sole, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.
- Laces: Remove laces and hand wash them separately with mild detergent, then air dry.
- Drying: If the shoes become wet, stuff them with paper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or dryers, as this can damage the materials.
