Product Information
Full details
The New Balance NB FLASH trainers are designed for active kids who need a reliable, everyday shoe that blends comfort with a classic athletic aesthetic. Featuring a durable, structured runner design and a secure lace-up closure, these trainers provide excellent stability for both casual play and light athletic activities. While they offer superior support through their refined construction, parents should note that the lace-up design requires a bit more time to secure compared to hook-and-loop alternatives, making them best suited for children who have mastered tying their own laces.

FAQs
Are these trainers machine washable?

How do I determine the right size for my child?
We recommend measuring your child's foot in centimeters or inches and comparing it to the New Balance sizing chart, ensuring there is a small amount of wiggle room in the toe box.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are typically removable if you need to use custom orthotics or replace them due to wear.
Are the laces standard length?
Yes, they come with standard laces that are proportionate to the shoe size, providing enough length for a secure double knot.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming undone during activity
Double-knot the laces or ensure the initial knot is pulled tight enough to maintain tension.
Surface dirt accumulation
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dried mud before wiping with a damp cloth.
Feeling too tight across the top
Loosen the laces starting from the eyelets closest to the toes and work your way up to redistribute pressure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your NB FLASH trainers remain in top condition, follow these simple guidelines. For setup, ensure the laces are threaded properly through the eyelets and adjusted to the child's comfort level before tying. These shoes are compatible with most standard children's socks and are suitable for a variety of casual environments. To clean, wipe away surface dirt with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh detergents, as this can degrade the materials. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, keeping them away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can cause the materials to warp or stiffen.
