FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, it is recommended to clean them by hand with a damp cloth to protect the materials and cushioning technology.
Can I replace the bungee laces with standard laces?
The 1000 kids' version is specifically designed with a bungee system; replacing them with standard laces is not recommended as it may alter the intended fit and security of the shoe.
Do these shoes run true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing for children, but it is always best to leave a thumb's width of space for growth.
What is ABZORB cushioning?
ABZORB is a proprietary New Balance foam material that provides excellent shock absorption and comfort underfoot.
Is the material waterproof?
The trainers use synthetic leather and mesh, which are water-resistant to light splashes but are not designed to be waterproof.
Troubleshooting
Bungee laces feel too tight or loose
Check that the tongue is positioned correctly; if the fit remains uncomfortable, ensure the child is wearing the correct size, as the elastic cord is not adjustable.
Scuff marks on the faux leather
Use a specialized sneaker eraser or a damp cloth with a tiny amount of mild detergent to gently buff away surface marks.
Odour buildup from daily wear
Remove the insoles to let the shoes air out overnight in a well-ventilated area, or use a child-safe antimicrobial sneaker spray.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because the shoe features bungee laces, there is no setup required; simply slide the foot in and the tension will adjust automatically. For compatibility, ensure you measure the child's foot with a standard brannock device or sizing chart, as these are tailored to the UK sizing system. To care for the faux leather and mesh upper, use a soft-bristled brush or a damp cloth with mild soap to remove surface dirt. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes in water, as this can degrade the adhesive and the structural integrity of the synthetic materials. Air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent material cracking.
