Is the New Balance 2002R good for running?

While originally a performance runner in 2010, the current 2002R is marketed as a lifestyle sneaker best suited for walking and casual wear.

Does it fit true to size?

Most users find it true to size, but because it has a slightly narrow profile, those with wider feet should consider the Wide width option.

What is the difference between the 2002R and the 1906R?

Both share the same sole unit, but the 2002R uses more suede and leather overlays for a classic look, while the 1906R uses more synthetic cages for a tech-heavy aesthetic.

Is the outsole slip-resistant?

Yes, it features a segmented rubber outsole designed for traction and slip resistance on urban surfaces.

What cushioning does the 2002R use?

An ACTEVA LITE midsole sits under the foot, with shock-absorbing N-ergy and ABZORB SBS cushioning in the heel.

What is the Stability Web?

It is a plastic shank built into the segmented rubber outsole that gives a stable feel underfoot.
