FAQs

Are these trainers truly waterproof?

Yes, the New Balance 2002R trainers feature a GORE-TEX membrane, which is a leading technology for waterproof and breathable footwear.

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is primarily constructed from durable leather, offering a premium look and feel.

How should I clean the GORE-TEX material?

Gently wipe the GORE-TEX material with a damp cloth. For more significant dirt, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then rinse with clean water. Always allow to air dry.

Can these trainers be worn for running?

While they offer excellent cushioning and support, the 2002R series is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual trainer. For high-performance running, dedicated running shoes are recommended.

What does 'Concrete' refer to in the product name?

'Concrete' likely refers to the colorway of the trainers, inspired by shades of grey and concrete textures.

Do these trainers come in other colors?

While this specific model is in a grey color family, other variations of the 2002R series may be available in different colors. Please check available product listings.

What is the closure type for these trainers?

These trainers feature a traditional lace-up closure for a secure and adjustable fit.

Troubleshooting

Slight color difference from online images.

Color variations can occur due to different display device settings. Refer to the product description for the official color names.

Reduced waterproofing effectiveness over time.

Ensure the shoes are clean and free of dirt, which can compromise the GORE-TEX membrane. Re-waterproofing treatments specifically designed for GORE-TEX footwear can be applied if needed, following product instructions.

Discomfort during wear.

Verify you have the correct size. Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for short periods initially. Ensure laces are tied appropriately for a secure yet comfortable fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: These trainers require no setup; they are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct UK size for a comfortable fit.

Compatibility: The New Balance 2002R trainers are designed for adult use and are suitable for most genders. They are compatible with a wide range of casual attire, including jeans, trousers, shorts, and athleisure wear.

Care:

  • Cleaning the Upper: For the leather and GORE-TEX components, use a damp cloth to wipe away dirt and debris. For stubborn stains, a mild leather cleaner can be used sparingly. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
  • Laces: Remove laces and hand wash separately with mild soap and water.
  • Drying: Allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hair dryers, as this can damage the materials.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a breathable shoe bag, away from direct sunlight.
