FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, you should never put suede footwear in a washing machine, as the water and agitation will permanently damage the texture and color of the suede.
Are New Balance 2002R trainers true to size?
Yes, they generally fit true to standard UK sizing for adults.
Can I use a water repellent spray on them?
It is recommended to use a spray specifically designed for suede to add a layer of protection against light moisture and dirt, but always test on a small, inconspicuous area first.
Are these suitable for long-distance running?
While based on a running silhouette, the 2002R is intended for lifestyle and casual use; they are not optimized for long-distance athletic performance.
What should I do if I get a deep stain on the suede?
It is best to take them to a professional shoe cleaner who specializes in suede and leather to avoid ruining the material with improper chemicals.
Troubleshooting
Visible dust or lint on the suede surface
Use a soft suede-specific cleaning brush and gently stroke the surface to lift the nap and remove particles.
Minor scuffs on the suede
Use a clean, dry suede eraser to gently rub the scuff mark in circular motions until it fades.
Shoes became wet in the rain
Stuff the shoes with clean paper towels to absorb moisture from the inside and let them air dry naturally away from any heat source.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Out of the box, the 2002R requires minimal setup—simply adjust the tonal lace closure to achieve your preferred tension. When it comes to compatibility, the trainers fit true to standard adult sizing, though it is recommended to verify your UK size measurement before purchase. Proper care for suede is essential: store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading. Avoid wearing them in wet or muddy conditions, as the suede material is sensitive to moisture. If the shoes become dusty, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove debris in the direction of the grain, and use a specialized suede eraser for minor marks.
