Our take on the New Balance Sneakers 2002

The New Balance 2002 is a kid-size version of the brand's retro running silhouette, built with a Gore-Tex waterproof membrane and a mixed suede, leather and textile upper. The layered midsole of EVA foam and polyurethane gives more cushioning than the flat soles on most kids' sneakers, and the rubber outsole adds grip for everyday wear. It suits kids who walk to school or play outside in wet weather and parents who want a sneaker that holds up. Against simpler kids' shoes it is heavier and more expensive in build, but the waterproofing and cushioning are the trade-off.

Questions and answers

Is the New Balance 2002 kids' sneaker really waterproof?
Yes. It has a Gore-Tex membrane in the upper, so it sheds rain and puddles. The membrane is breathable but still warmer than an unlined mesh shoe.
How does it compare with a plain kids' sneaker?
It is heavier and more structured, with a thicker EVA and polyurethane midsole and a waterproof upper. A basic mesh sneaker is lighter and cooler but gets soaked in rain.
Does it fit true to size?
It runs in standard US kids' sizes and most buyers take their usual size. The padded collar and layered upper make it snug, so kids between sizes may want to go up.
Is it good for summer?
It is better for wet and cool weather. The Gore-Tex lining and suede panels hold heat, so a lighter mesh shoe suits hot days better.
Can younger kids manage the laces?
It is laced only, with no hook-and-loop strap. Kids who cannot tie laces yet will need help or a different model.
Where is the New Balance Sneakers 2002 cheapest?
