FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, machine washing can damage the structural integrity and the ABZORB cushioning. We recommend hand cleaning with a damp cloth.
Can I replace the bungee laces with traditional laces?
The New Balance 1000 kids' version is specifically designed for the bungee system. Attempting to replace them may affect the fit and overall aesthetic.
What age group is this shoe for?
This model is designed for children, featuring specific proportions to accommodate developing feet.
Do these shoes provide enough arch support?
Yes, they feature a Stability Web midfoot shank designed to provide foundational support for active kids.
How do I determine the right size?
We recommend measuring the child's foot using a standard Brannock device or sizing chart, leaving about a thumb's width of space at the toe for growth.
Troubleshooting
Bungee laces feel too tight or loose
Ensure the tension clip or knot at the base of the bungee is positioned correctly; if the fit is consistently poor, consult a professional shoe fitter to confirm the correct size.
Dirt stuck in the mesh material
Let the dirt dry completely, then gently tap the soles together to loosen it before using a soft brush to clear the remaining debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because the New Balance 1000 comes with pre-installed bungee laces, there is no initial setup required; simply have the child step into the shoe. To maintain the shoes, avoid putting them in the washing machine, which can damage the synthetic overlays and foam. Instead, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the mesh panels and a damp cloth with mild soap for any surface scuffs on the synthetic overlays. Store the trainers in a cool, dry area away from direct heat sources to prevent the glue and materials from degrading prematurely.
