Best praise vs top criticism for New Balance 2002R
“1. Vomero 5 2. New Balance 993 (way more comfortable than the 2002r) 3. Asics Kayano 14 All 3 are not too athletic for work, but have the best balance of support/cushion for All day every day wear.”
“A good foaming soap, a brush and effort should fix that. I use Dr. Bronner's since I can't be bothered to buy any of the overpriced sneaker cleaning soaps. Dilute it out of the bottle and put in a foaming soap dispenser and you've got basically the same thing as the saving 150 bucks guy I spilled a full cup of takeout binagoongan from my favorite Filipino place on my 2002R Rain Clouds. Grey, hairy suede covered in bright orange pork sauce. I thought I was fucked for sure but I tossed the laces in the washing machine and went to town on the shoes with a brush and foam and I swear they're good as new. I had to reset the suede with a brass brush but they're just as soft as before with no orange spots.”
