FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
While comfortable for walking and everyday activities, the New Balance 2002R trainers are primarily designed for lifestyle wear and offer less specialized support and cushioning compared to dedicated running shoes.
How do I clean the suede material?
Use a suede brush to remove surface dirt. For stains, a dedicated suede cleaner is recommended. Always test cleaners on a small, hidden area first. Avoid soaking the shoes.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
Suede is sensitive to water. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions. Applying a waterproofing spray can offer some protection, but they are not designed for water resistance.
What is the main colour of these trainers?
The main colour is brown, with secondary grey accents, described as a Woodland/Stoneware colour combination.
Are these trainers available in other sizes?
Yes, the New Balance 2002R series is available in a range of sizes. This specific guide entry pertains to UK adult size 12, but other sizes are offered by the brand.
What is the series name for these trainers?

Is the suede material genuine?
Yes, the product description specifies suede material, indicating genuine suede is used for the upper construction.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained.
Gently brush the affected area with a suede brush. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner according to product instructions. Test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
Ensure you have the correct size. If slightly tight, wearing them with thicker socks for a short period can help stretch them. If too loose, consider using insoles for a snugger fit. Always check the sizing chart before purchase.
Soles show signs of wear.
Regular cleaning of the outsole can help maintain grip. For significant wear, consult a shoe repair specialist about potential sole replacement.
Colour fading.
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Use a suede protector spray that offers UV protection. Store shoes properly when not in use.
