FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for school uniforms?
Yes, the 'triple black' design of the New Balance 480 Junior Trainers makes them an ideal choice for most school uniform policies requiring black footwear.
What material are the uppers made from?
The trainers feature durable man-made uppers, designed to withstand daily wear and tear.
Can these trainers be used for sports?
While durable and comfortable for everyday wear and light activity, they are not specifically designed for high-performance sports. They are best suited for casual play, school, and general daily use.
How do I clean these trainers?
For best results, wipe the trainers with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap solution and air dry them away from direct heat.
Are these trainers true to size?
New Balance junior sizes generally run true to size. We recommend measuring your child's foot and referring to a standard New Balance kids' size chart for the most accurate fit.
What age group are these trainers intended for?
These trainers are part of the 'junior' or 'kids' range, designed specifically for children.
Troubleshooting
Trainers appear dirty quickly.
The 'triple black' design can show dust and light dirt more easily. Wipe them down regularly with a damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then wipe clean.
Laces frequently come undone.
Ensure laces are tied with a double knot. You can also try replacing the laces with a different material that offers better grip, or consider elastic no-tie laces for younger children.
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable.
Verify the correct size. Children's feet grow quickly, so ensure there's about a thumb's width space at the toe. Also, ensure the child is wearing appropriate socks (not too thick or thin) for a comfortable fit.
