The New Balance 520 trainers are designed for active kids who need a reliable, everyday shoe that balances athletic performance with casual style.

How do I ensure the best fit for my child?

Measure feet in the late afternoon when they are largest and ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between the longest toe and the front of the shoe.

Troubleshooting

Laces coming untied frequently

Use a double-knot or ensure the laces are threaded through all eyelets for maximum security.

Visible surface stains on mesh

Use a soft-bristled brush with a mixture of water and gentle detergent to lightly scrub the affected area.

Shoe feels too tight

Loosen the laces starting from the toe box working your way up to the ankle to redistribute pressure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Getting the right fit is essential for children's footwear. Ensure the laces are tightened firmly but comfortably—not so tight that they cut off circulation, but snug enough to prevent heel slippage. To care for your trainers, avoid machine washing, which can damage the mesh and foam structure. Instead, spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Air dry them naturally in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight or heat sources to prevent material degradation. Regularly check the outsoles for debris to maintain traction.
