Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your child's New Balance trainers last as long as possible, proper care is essential. When fitting, ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between the longest toe and the front of the shoe to allow for natural growth. For cleaning, remove loose dirt with a soft brush and use a damp cloth with mild soap for surface stains; never submerge the shoes in a washing machine or dryer as this can damage the materials and glue bonds. Always air dry them away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the shoe shape or compromise the foam cushioning.
