FAQs

What age group are these trainers for?

These trainers are designed for kids, with available sizes covering younger children through to pre-teens, typically from UK size 10 up to 2.5.

How do the bungee laces work?

The bungee laces have a toggle that allows you to quickly tighten or loosen the fit without needing to tie traditional knots. This makes them easy for kids to manage independently.

Are these shoes suitable for sports?

These trainers are ideal for everyday wear and casual activities. While they offer good support and cushioning, they are not specialized for high-impact or professional sports.

What material are the trainers made of?

The trainers feature a combination of leather and mesh for the upper, providing durability and breathability.

How do I find the correct size?

It is recommended to measure your child's foot and compare it to the New Balance sizing chart, paying close attention to the UK sizing. Ensure there is a small amount of growing room.

Can these trainers be machine washed?

No, machine washing is not recommended. Hand cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap is the best method for care.

Troubleshooting

Bungee laces won't tighten properly

Ensure the toggle is fully released before adjusting the laces. Try re-threading the laces through the toggle if they appear tangled or worn.

Child complains of discomfort

Verify the size is correct. Ensure the shoe is properly fastened but not too tight. Check for any internal seams or debris causing irritation.

Shoes appear dirty after light use

Wipe down immediately after use with a damp cloth to prevent dirt from setting. Refer to the care instructions for more thorough cleaning.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: Suitable for children aged roughly 5-12 years (UK sizes 10-13 and 1-2.5 shown). Best suited for casual wear and light athletic activities.
