FAQs

Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?

No, machine washing can damage the materials and adhesives; always use a damp cloth to spot clean.

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The 520 series features a standard fit. If you find they are too narrow, ensure you are selecting the correct size or consult a footwear professional.

What is the best way to dry them if they get wet?

Let them air dry naturally in a room-temperature environment. Avoid direct heat or sunlight as this may damage the materials.

Do these trainers have removable insoles?

Most models in the 520 series feature an insert, but it is recommended to keep the original for optimal performance and support.

Are these trainers appropriate for sports?

They are designed for general activity and casual wear, making them great for play, though they are not specialized performance athletic gear.

How do I ensure the right size for my child?

Measure the feet in the afternoon when they are slightly swollen, and aim for a fit that allows for a half-inch of clearance in the toe box.

Troubleshooting

Outer material is showing signs of dirt buildup

Use a soft cloth dampened with mild soapy water to gently wipe the affected areas and air dry.

The shoe feels tight after a few months of use

Children's feet grow quickly; check for a thumb-width of space between the big toe and the end of the shoe and consider upgrading to the next size.

Laces becoming frayed or damaged

Replace the laces with standard athletic laces of the appropriate length for the number of eyelets.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

When you first receive your New Balance 520 trainers, ensure the fit is snug but not constricting, allowing a small amount of space at the toes for growth. For daily care, do not machine wash or tumble dry the shoes, as high heat and heavy agitation can compromise the adhesive and cushioning. Instead, wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth using mild soap if necessary. For stubborn marks, a soft-bristled brush can be used gently to avoid damaging the textile fibers. Always air-dry the shoes in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the materials from warping or becoming brittle.
