FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running or intense sports?
No, New Balance 2002R trainers are primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear, offering exceptional comfort and style for everyday use. While they provide excellent cushioning and support, they are not intended for high-performance athletic activities like running or rigorous training.
How should I clean the suede material?
For best results, use a specialized suede brush to gently remove loose dirt and refresh the nap. For stains, apply a suede cleaner specifically designed for the material, following its instructions carefully. Always test on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid using water or harsh chemicals directly on the suede, as this can damage it.
Do these shoes provide arch support?
Yes, the New Balance 2002R features 'Stability Web outsole technology' which is specifically designed to add arch support. This technology helps to enhance overall foot stability and contributes to sustained comfort during wear.
What kind of cushioning technology is used in these trainers?
These trainers incorporate a dual cushioning system: the ABZORB midsole provides superior impact absorption, and N-ergy cushioning delivers advanced shock absorption and long-lasting, responsive comfort for all-day wear.
Are New Balance 2002R trainers true to size?
New Balance sizing is generally consistent. We recommend selecting your usual New Balance shoe size for the best fit. If you are between sizes, considering trying them on or consulting a detailed size chart may be helpful. Info needed: Specific fit characteristics (e.g., narrow/wide).
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
The suede material of the New Balance 2002R is not inherently water-resistant. We advise against wearing them in heavy rain or very wet conditions to protect the material from damage. Applying a high-quality suede protector spray can offer some resistance to light moisture and stains.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or has minor scuffs.
Use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently brush the nap of the suede in one direction. This can revitalize the texture and remove superficial scuffs. For deeper scuffs, a suede eraser might be effective.
Trainers feel less supportive over time.
While built for durability, insoles can wear down. Inspect the existing insoles for compression. Replacing them with new, high-quality supportive insoles can often restore the feeling of support and comfort.
Unpleasant odor develops inside the trainers.
Allow your trainers to air out thoroughly after each wear. You can also insert cedar shoe trees to absorb moisture and odor, or use shoe deodorizer sprays or sachets. Sprinkling baking soda inside overnight can also help neutralize odors.
Light stains appear on the suede.
For fresh, light stains, try dabbing gently with a clean, dry cloth immediately. For dried stains, a specialized suede cleaner applied with a clean cloth, following product instructions, is recommended. Always test in an inconspicuous area.

Care Instructions
To ensure your New Balance 2002R trainers maintain their premium look and feel:
- Suede Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to gently remove surface dirt and dust. For deeper cleaning or stains, apply a suede cleaner specifically designed for the material. Always follow the product instructions and test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Avoid Water Immersion: Do not submerge the trainers in water. Suede can be damaged by excessive moisture.
- Drying: If they get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight.
- Protection: Consider applying a quality suede protector spray before first wear and periodically thereafter. This can help repel water and stains, prolonging the life and appearance of the suede.
- Storage: Store them in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help retain their shape.
