FAQs

Are these shoes machine washable?

No, machine washing can damage the adhesive and the structural integrity of the faux leather; stick to spot cleaning with a damp cloth.

What is the primary benefit of the ABZORB sole?

It provides superior shock absorption, which is vital for protecting active children's developing feet and joints.

Do I need to tie the laces?

No, this version of the New Balance 1000 uses a bungee lace system designed to slip on and off easily.

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The 1000 series features a structured overlay design, which provides a standard fit; if your child has exceptionally wide feet, you may want to try a half-size up.

What age group are these for?

These are specifically sized and designed for children, fitting the requirements of growing feet with stability and comfort.

Troubleshooting

Bungee laces feel too tight or loose

While non-traditional, you can manipulate the tension at the attachment points if needed, though they are factory-set for a universal fit.

Surface dirt on the white faux leather

Use a mild soap solution on a microfiber cloth and wipe gently; do not scrub with abrasive brushes.

Creasing in the toe box

Standard for faux leather materials; using shoe trees when stored can help maintain the shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box, with the bungee laces requiring no initial adjustment for most children. For care, wipe down the faux leather overlays with a soft, damp cloth after each use to keep the white finish looking crisp. If the mesh panels accumulate dust, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove debris. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh chemical cleaners, as this can degrade the synthetic adhesives. If the shoes become damp internally, stuff them with newspaper and allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the materials from cracking.
