FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

The New Balance 2002R generally fits true to size for most adults, though those preferring a wider fit might consider checking sizing nuances as the suede structure provides a snug, secure feel.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

No. Machine washing can ruin the suede material and compromise the structural integrity of the cushioning. Stick to manual surface cleaning.

What is the Refined Future collection?

The Refined Future collection, often associated with the 'Protection Pack' series, features deconstructed aesthetics and layered materials for a unique, modern look.

Are these suitable for running?

These are classified as lifestyle trainers. While comfortable for walking, they are not engineered for professional running or high-intensity athletic performance.

How do I protect the blue and purple suede?

It is recommended to apply a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for suede before the first use.

Troubleshooting

Visible dirt on suede overlays

Use a specialized suede brush or a soft-bristled toothbrush to gently lift dirt without damaging the nap.

Creasing near the toe box

Creasing is a natural characteristic of high-quality suede and mesh; use a shoe tree when not in use to help maintain the original shape.

Outsole loses grip in wet conditions

While the pattern is effective, wipe the soles with a damp cloth to remove any buildup that may be reducing surface contact.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior impact absorption from NERGY technology
  • Highly breathable upper construction
  • Distinctive, fashion-forward design aesthetic
  • Reliable traction on multiple surfaces
  • Durable suede build quality

Cons

  • Suede requires specialized care and cleaning
  • Not intended for high-performance athletic sports
  • The distressed midsole look may not suit all style preferences

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because these trainers feature high-quality suede, they do not require a formal 'break-in' period but may feel firm at first until the internal cushioning conforms to your foot. To maintain their appearance, avoid wearing them in heavy rain, as water can damage the suede texture. If the shoes become dirty, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dust and debris. For deeper stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Always store your shoes in a cool, dry place to prevent material degradation.
