FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the ABZORB midsole?
The ABZORB midsole is designed to absorb shock and provide cushioning, offering excellent comfort and reducing the impact on the feet during activity.
Are these trainers suitable for sports?
These trainers are designed for everyday wear and light athletic activities. For specialized sports requiring specific support or grip, dedicated sports shoes are recommended.
How should I clean the synthetic upper?
Wipe the synthetic upper with a soft, damp cloth. For more persistent dirt, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then rinse with a clean damp cloth. Always air dry.
Can these trainers be machine washed?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, as it can damage the materials and construction. Hand cleaning with a damp cloth is the preferred method.
What does 'unisex' mean for these trainers?
Unisex means the design is intended for any gender. While the overall shape is versatile, ensuring the correct size and fit for the individual child is key.
How do I ensure I select the correct size?
Measure your child's foot length from heel to toe and compare it with the New Balance sizing chart available on their website or from the retailer. It's often helpful to try them on if possible.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or too loose.
Adjust the laces to achieve a secure but comfortable fit. Ensure the correct size has been selected. If the issue persists, consider the lacing techniques for different foot shapes.
Dirt or scuff marks on the upper.
Gently wipe the affected area with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn marks, a soft brush can be used carefully. Always allow to air dry.

The ABZORB midsole requires a short break-in period. Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to mold to the foot's shape. Ensure the correct size is being worn.
