FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The New Balance B80 trainers feature a standard fit; if your child has significantly wider feet, you may want to ensure the lacing is adjusted appropriately or consider a half-size increase.
How do I determine the correct size?
Use a standard Brannock device or a professional foot measuring tool at a shoe store, keeping in mind that children's feet grow quickly and should be measured every 3-4 months.
Can these be machine washed?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers as the agitation and heat can break down the adhesives and materials; stick to hand cleaning for longevity.
Are these suitable for long-distance running?
No, the B80 series is designed as a casual, everyday trainer and lacks the specialized cushioning technology required for long-distance running or competitive sports.
Do they provide arch support?
They offer standard support appropriate for healthy, growing feet during daily activities, but they are not categorized as orthopedic footwear.
Is the material breathable?
The B80 trainers are constructed with materials balanced for durability and comfort, providing reasonable breathability for standard school and play environments.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight on the sides
Ensure the laces are properly loosened before insertion and verify that you are using the correct UK shoe size for the child's foot width.
Build-up of surface scuffs
Use a specialized sneaker cleaning wipe or a soft brush with a mild soap solution to gently buff away surface scuffs.
Heel slippage while walking
Try adjusting the lacing technique, such as using the 'runner's loop' or 'heel lock' method to secure the foot more firmly in the shoe.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
When sizing these trainers, ensure there is roughly a thumb's width of space between the longest toe and the front of the shoe to allow for growth. For maintenance, keep the trainers clean by wiping away surface mud or dust with a damp, soft cloth. Avoid submerging them in water or using harsh chemicals, which can damage the upper materials. If they become wet, air dry them naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, as intense heat can warp the internal structure and affect the fit.
