Product Information

Full details

The New Balance 2002R 'Black' trainers are designed for adult males seeking a blend of style and comfort for everyday wear. Their key benefit lies in the ABZORB cushioning technology, providing excellent shock absorption. A potential consideration is that while versatile, their aesthetic is distinctly athletic and may not suit all formal occasions.

FAQs

What is ABZORB cushioning?

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

Are these shoes waterproof?

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.

Can I wear these for running?

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

What is the best way to clean the mesh parts?

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.

Do these shoes come in other colors?

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

What material is the upper made of?

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

How durable is the rubber sole?

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

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

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

Squeaking noise

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

Traction seems poor

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.

Leather appears scuffed

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

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers require no setup. They are ready to wear straight out of the box.

Compatibility: The New Balance 2002R trainers are designed for adult males and are compatible with standard UK shoe sizing. They are versatile for casual wear and athletic-inspired outfits.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or a damp cloth to gently clean the mesh and leather. For leather areas, specialized leather cleaners can be used sparingly. Avoid soaking the shoes.
  2. Sole Cleaning: Wipe the rubber sole with a damp cloth. For tougher dirt, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by rinsing with a clean, damp cloth.
  3. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources, such as radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original packaging or a shoe bag, to protect them from dust and maintain their shape.
