Full details

Its primary benefit lies in its versatile aesthetic, blending charcoal mesh with black leather and suede overlays for a modern look.

FAQs

What is the primary material of the New Balance 2002R 'Black'?

This specific variant is crafted primarily from leather, with charcoal mesh and suede overlays.

Is this shoe suitable for running?

The 2002R is designed for lifestyle and everyday wear, offering comfort and support for walking. It is not intended for high-impact running or athletic training.

How should I clean the suede parts?

Use a dedicated suede brush to remove dry dirt and restore the nap. For tougher stains, a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner can be used carefully.

Does the 'Black' colorway fade easily?

With proper care and use of protective sprays, the color should remain stable. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause fading over time.

What does 'UK 12' refer to?

UK 12 is the British sizing standard for adult male footwear. It corresponds to a specific foot length and width within that system.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

While the leather and rubber offer some protection, these shoes are not waterproof. It is recommended to avoid wearing them in heavy rain and to use a water-repellent spray for added protection.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking sound from the shoe

This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try inserting talcum powder or a dryer sheet under the insole. Ensure laces are tied appropriately.

Leather or suede appears dry or dull

Apply a leather conditioner or a suede protector spray as per product instructions. Ensure the shoes are clean before applying any treatment.

Fit feels slightly tight

Wear the shoes with medium-weight socks for a few hours each day to allow the leather to break in and conform to your foot shape. Avoid prolonged wear if discomfort persists.
