Is this shoe suitable for running?
The 2002R features cushioning technology and a supportive design, making it comfortable for everyday wear and light activities. For intense running, dedicated running shoes are generally recommended.
How do I clean suede sneakers?

What does ABZORB cushioning do?
ABZORB is a New Balance technology that provides excellent shock absorption, helping to reduce the impact on your feet and joints during wear.
Can I wear these shoes in the rain?

Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or matted
Use a specialized suede brush to gently restore the nap. For tougher marks, a suede eraser can be effective. Ensure the shoes are completely dry before brushing.
Reduced cushioning feel over time
While ABZORB is durable, cushioning can naturally lessen with extensive use. Regular cleaning and avoiding excessive wear in harsh conditions can help preserve its properties.
Traction seems reduced on wet surfaces
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean from debris. For significantly wet conditions, exercise caution as rubber soles can still slip on very slick surfaces.
