New Balance 2002R Trainers - Black - Size UK 8.5

ABZORB is a proprietary New Balance technology that provides excellent shock absorption and cushioning, helping to reduce impact on the feet and joints.

These trainers are not designed to be waterproof. They are made with mesh and leather, which offer breathability but will not repel significant amounts of water.

While the 2002R offers good cushioning, they are primarily designed as lifestyle or casual trainers. For dedicated running, specialized running shoes are recommended.

Gently wipe the mesh with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then wipe clean with a damp cloth. Allow to air dry.

The New Balance 2002R model is available in various colorways. This specific guide focuses on the 'Black' variant.

The upper is a combination of charcoal mesh and black leather overlays.

The rubber outsole is designed for durability and excellent traction, providing reliable wear for everyday use.

Ensure laces are loosened before putting on. Wear with appropriate socks. If still tight after breaking in, consider if this is the correct size.

This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try walking on different surfaces or ensure all parts are dry. If persistent, contact customer support.

Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from debris. The shoe performs best on dry, non-oily surfaces. Check for excessive wear on the sole.

Use a suitable leather conditioner or polish to address minor scuffs. For deeper marks, consult a professional shoe repair service.
