The New Balance 2002R is a pair of kids' running shoes, available in US 6 to 7.
Match the shoe to the surface you actually run on. Road and treadmill running is repetitive impact in a straight line, and rewards cushioning and a smooth roll from heel to toe. Trail running asks for grip and a more secure upper to hold the foot on uneven ground. A road outsole slides on wet rock, and a trail outsole feels stiff and noisy on a footpath.
Cushioning is a preference rather than a ranking. A taller, softer midsole absorbs more impact over long distances and suits easy days and higher mileage. A lower, firmer shoe gives more ground feel and a more direct push-off, which many runners prefer for shorter and faster sessions. The right amount is close to what your legs are already used to; changing it sharply is a common cause of new aches.
Available in Castlerock / Castlerock. We are an independent retailer rather than an authorised stockist, and this product is made by the brand named on it. Your rights under the Australian Consumer Law apply to everything we sell: see our warranty page.
