FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, the suede upper can be damaged by water and machine agitation. Stick to manual surface cleaning.
What is the purpose of the Stability Web?
It is an internal component designed to provide extra arch support and maintain foot stability.
Can these be used for sports?
These are lifestyle trainers inspired by running designs; while they offer great support, they are best suited for daily wear rather than high-intensity competitive athletics.
How do I maintain the color?
Keep the shoes out of direct, prolonged sunlight and use a water-repellent spray specifically designed for suede to protect against environmental damage.
Does the size reflect standard UK sizing?
Yes, these are sized according to standard UK children's footwear measurements.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or matted
Gently use a suede brush to lift the nap of the material and restore its original texture.
Shoes are causing minor irritation at the ankle
Ensure the laces are not overtightened; the padded collar should sit comfortably against the ankle without excessive pressure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your New Balance 2002 trainers, it is essential to follow proper care protocols due to the suede upper material. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or machine washing them, as this can degrade the texture of the suede. Use a dry soft-bristled brush to remove surface dust or dirt after each wear. For minor stains, apply a specialized suede eraser or a small amount of suede cleaner with a clean cloth. Store the trainers in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight, which can cause color fading. Ensure the correct UK size is chosen as the fit is designed for children's anatomy.
