FAQs
Are the New Balance 2002R suitable for running?
While the 2002R features running shoe technology, it's primarily designed and updated for lifestyle and casual wear. For intense athletic training or competitive running, dedicated performance running shoes are recommended.
How do I clean the mesh parts of the trainers?
Use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap and water. Gently scrub with a soft brush if needed, then wipe clean with a fresh damp cloth and allow to air dry.
What is ABZORB technology?
ABZORB is a New Balance technology that combines cushioning and compression resistance, helping to absorb impact and provide a comfortable feel.
Are these trainers true to size?
Generally, the 2002R fits true to size for most users. However, it's always recommended to check reviews or try them on if possible, as fit can vary slightly between individuals.
Can I put these trainers in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, especially due to the suede materials. Machine washing can damage the construction, adhesives, and materials, particularly the suede and cushioning components.
What does 'Stability Web' do?
The Stability Web is an arch support feature designed to provide torsional rigidity and support to the midfoot, helping to control pronation and enhance stability.
How should I care for the suede material?
For regular care, use a suede brush to remove dust and maintain the texture. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner. Avoid excessive moisture and protect with a suede protector spray for added durability.
Troubleshooting
Discomfort or rubbing
Ensure you have the correct size. If new, the shoes may need a short break-in period. Try wearing them with appropriate socks.
Suede looking dull or dirty
Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and follow the product's instructions carefully. Protect with a suede protector spray.
Laces fraying or breaking
Replace laces with a similar style and length. Consider using more durable lace alternatives.
Sole feels stiff
The N-ergy and ABZORB technologies provide firm support and cushioning. If they feel too stiff, ensure you have the right size and consider if they are suitable for your intended activity level.
