FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, you should not put leather shoes in the washing machine as it can damage the material and the adhesive structures.
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While inspired by classic running shoes, they are designed for casual, everyday use rather than professional sports performance.
How do I determine the right size?
New Balance typically fits true to size, but we recommend measuring the child's foot in the afternoon when it is at its largest and allowing for a small amount of growth room.
Do they provide good arch support?
Yes, the inclusion of the ABZORB midsole provides significant support and cushioning compared to flat-soled lifestyle sneakers.
Can I use these in the rain?
The leather is somewhat water-resistant, but they are not waterproof. Dry them thoroughly if they get soaked to prevent damage to the interior lining.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on the leather upper
Use a shoe tree when not in use to help the leather maintain its shape.
Surface scuffs on the leather
Apply a matching leather polish or cream to buff out light scuffs and scratches.
Loss of traction
Clean the outsole with warm soapy water and a soft brush to remove impacted dirt or small debris from the tread pattern.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your New Balance 530 trainers, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a damp cloth after use to remove surface dirt and debris.
- Storage: Keep shoes in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight or extreme heat sources, which can crack the leather.
- Drying: If they get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture from the inside. Never put leather sneakers in a clothes dryer.
- Maintenance: Periodically use a leather-safe cleaner to condition the material and maintain flexibility.
- Fit: Ensure the child is wearing appropriate socks for activity to prevent friction and improve the internal fit.
