FAQs

Are these sneakers suitable for sports?

The New Balance B80 sneakers are basketball-inspired and offer good durability and traction, making them suitable for light athletic activities and general play. For specialized or intensive sports, dedicated athletic footwear might be more appropriate.

How do I choose the correct size for my child?

These sneakers are a UK size 3 for kids. It's best to measure your child's foot and refer to New Balance's official sizing chart to ensure the best fit. Always leave a little room for growth, but avoid shoes that are too loose.

Can these shoes be machine washed?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and construction of the sneakers. We advise hand washing or spot cleaning with mild soap and water, then air drying.

What is the best way to clean white sneakers?

For white sneakers, immediate spot cleaning of dirt and stains is key. Use a soft brush or cloth with a mixture of mild soap and water. For deeper cleaning, specialized white shoe cleaners can be very effective. Always air dry.

Do these sneakers offer good arch support for kids?

New Balance designs its children's footwear with general foot support in mind. The B80 provides a comfortable and stable base for active feet. If your child requires specific arch support due to foot conditions, consult a pediatrician or podiatrist.

Are these sneakers slip-resistant?

The durable rubber outsole is designed to provide good traction on various surfaces, offering a degree of slip resistance for everyday activities. However, no shoe can guarantee absolute slip prevention in all conditions.

Troubleshooting

Sneakers get dirty easily due to white color.

Regularly spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Consider applying a shoe protector spray to repel dirt and stains.

Child complains of discomfort or poor fit.

Double-check the sizing. Ensure laces are tied correctly – not too tight, not too loose. Verify socks are comfortable and not bunched up. If discomfort persists, consult a shoe fitting expert.

Soles appear to be wearing out quickly.

While the rubber outsole is durable, excessive abrasive activities can accelerate wear. Encourage rotating between different pairs of shoes if possible. Inspect for unusual wear patterns which might indicate a need for a different shoe type or fitting adjustment.
