FAQs

What age group are these New Balance 1000 shoes designed for?

This specific model of the New Balance 1000 is designed for kids, featuring a bungee lace system for ease of use.

Are these shoes suitable for sports or just casual wear?

With ABZORB cushioning and a Stability Web midfoot shank, they are suitable for a range of activities including active play, light sports, and everyday casual wear, providing comfort and support.

How do the bungee laces work?

The bungee lace system provides a stretchy, adaptive fit that allows your child to easily slip the shoes on and off without needing to tie traditional laces. It offers a secure yet flexible fit.

What is the primary material of the upper?

The upper of this specific variant is made from polyester, which offers durability and an easy-to-clean surface.

How should I clean these shoes?

For best results, wipe the shoes with a damp cloth using mild soap. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Avoid machine washing.

What is ABZORB cushioning?

ABZORB is a New Balance proprietary foam material that provides excellent shock absorption, helping to cushion impacts and reduce stress on the feet during activity.

Do these shoes provide good arch support for children?

Yes, the integrated Stability Web midfoot shank is designed to provide essential arch support and stability, which is important for growing feet.

Is the sizing true to standard UK children's shoe sizes?

New Balance generally aims for true-to-size fit. We recommend referring to New Balance's official sizing guide or measuring your child's foot to ensure the best fit, especially for UK children's size 12.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too loose or too tight.

While bungee laces offer convenience, check the shoe size against your child's current foot measurements. If the fit is consistently uncomfortable, consider a different size. Ensure socks are not too thick or thin for the intended fit.

Shoes appear dirty quickly.

Regularly wipe down the polyester upper with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. For tougher dirt, use a soft brush. Avoid machine washing, which can degrade materials and cushioning.

My child complains of foot discomfort after wearing them for a long time.

Ensure the shoe is the correct size. While the ABZORB cushioning and Stability Web provide support, every child's foot is unique. Check for proper arch support and consider consulting with a pediatrist if discomfort persists, especially if insoles are needed.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent comfort and shock absorption for active play.
  • Easy for kids to put on and take off due to bungee laces.
  • Durable construction designed to withstand children's activities.
  • Provides good midfoot support for stability.
  • Stylish, retro-futuristic design.

Cons

  • Bungee laces may offer less precise fit adjustment compared to traditional laces.
  • Polyester material might not be as breathable as some natural fiber alternatives in very hot climates.
  • Kids will outgrow the shoes, requiring periodic replacement.

Setup: Simply slide your child's foot into the shoe. The bungee lace system is self-adjusting, providing a snug fit without the need for tying. Ensure the tongue is comfortably positioned and the foot is settled correctly. Compatibility: These shoes are designed for kids and are compatible with various everyday activities, light sports, and school wear. They pair well with athletic socks for optimal comfort and moisture management. Care: 1. Cleaning: For general dirt, wipe the polyester upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals. 2. Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage materials. 3. Maintenance: Periodically check the bungee laces for wear and ensure the insole is clean. Remove any loose dirt or debris from the outsole regularly to maintain traction. Proper care will extend the life and appearance of the shoes.
