Product Information
Full details
The New Balance Junior 2002 Trainer is designed for active kids who need comfortable and supportive footwear for everyday activities and light sports. Its key benefit is the advanced cushioning technology that absorbs impact and provides stability. A potential caveat is that they are sized for children, so adult sizing is not applicable. This trainer features a durable leather and textile upper, lace-up fastening, and specialized midsole and heel cushioning for enhanced comfort and support.

Troubleshooting
Sizing seems incorrect
Refer to the New Balance size chart and measure your child's foot carefully. Ensure you are ordering the correct UK child size. Half sizes are available in selected sizes for a more precise fit.
Laces won't stay tied
Ensure the laces are double-knotted. If they consistently come undone, consider replacing them with a different type of lace or learning a more secure knot.
Discomfort after wearing
Verify the correct size and fit. Ensure the laces are adjusted properly to avoid pressure points. Allow a short break-in period if the shoes are brand new.
