FAQs
Are the New Balance 2002R trainers suitable for running?
While inspired by a technical running shoe, the 2002R is best suited for daily wear, walking, and casual use due to its modernized cushioning and comfort focus. For dedicated running, consider New Balance's performance running shoe lines.
How do I know if I have the right size?
The trainers should feel snug but not tight. There should be about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe. Consider trying them on with the type of socks you typically wear.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the suede, mesh, and cushioning technologies. Hand wash using specific care instructions outlined above.
How durable is the suede material?
Suede is a natural material that requires care. With proper cleaning and protection, the suede detailing on the 2002R trainers can maintain its appearance and integrity for a long time.
Is this trainer good for people with flat feet?
The 2002R features a Stability Web technology and ABZORB cushioning which offer good arch support and shock absorption, potentially benefiting individuals with flat feet. However, for specific medical needs, consulting a podiatrist is advised.
What is the primary benefit of the N-ergy outsole?
The N-ergy outsole is designed to provide superior shock absorption and stability, helping to reduce impact on your feet and joints during movement.
Are there other color options available?
This guide focuses on the White/Grey suede variant. Other colorways may be available depending on the specific product offering.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight
Ensure you have the correct UK size. If slightly tight, wearing them with thinner socks might help. Suede can also stretch slightly over time with wear.
Suede appears dirty or matted
Use a suede brush to gently restore the nap. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner sparingly, following the product's instructions.
Reduced cushioning over time
While the ABZORB and N-ergy technologies are durable, extreme wear can lessen their effectiveness. Regular cleaning and avoiding excessive strain can prolong their performance.
Creasing on the upper
Creasing is natural with wear, especially on suede and synthetic materials. Using shoe trees can help maintain the shape and reduce severe creasing when not in use.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning Suede: Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt and debris from the suede areas. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow product instructions carefully. Avoid using water directly on suede.
- Cleaning Mesh & Synthetics: Wipe the mesh and synthetic overlay areas with a damp cloth. For tougher dirt, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.
- Outsole: Clean the rubber outsole with a damp cloth or a soft brush.
- Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or the original box, to protect them from dust and damage.
