FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for sports?
Yes, they are designed for active kids and offer the stability needed for general physical activity, though they are primarily casual trainers.
How should I clean the suede portions?
Use a dry suede brush or eraser. Avoid using water as it can stain or change the texture of the suede fabric.
Do these shoes run true to size?
New Balance sizing generally runs consistent with standard UK children's footwear sizes, but it is always recommended to measure the child's foot with socks on.
Can the insoles be replaced?
Most New Balance trainers have removable insoles, allowing you to swap them for orthotics or fresh inserts if needed.
Are these trainers machine washable?
No, machine washing can damage the suede materials and compromise the adhesives used in the construction of the sole.
Troubleshooting
Laces constantly coming untied
Teach the child a double-knot method or replace laces with slightly textured, shorter laces that hold tension better.
Surface dirt on suede
Use a specialized suede eraser or a dry, clean soft brush to lift the debris without damaging the texture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your New Balance 2002 trainers, it is important to handle them with care. Since the upper often incorporates suede, avoid soaking the shoes in water or putting them in a washing machine. Instead, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dirt. For deeper stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner or a cloth dampened with mild soap, ensuring you wipe with the grain of the material. Always air-dry at room temperature, keeping them away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the materials.
