FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The New Balance 1000 BUNGEE LACE trainers are designed with a standard width. The bungee lace system offers some adjustability, but if a wide fit is typically required, it's advisable to try them on or consult a size guide carefully.

How do I clean the mesh parts of the shoes?

For the mesh areas, use a soft brush or a damp cloth to gently remove dirt. Avoid vigorous scrubbing. Allow them to air dry completely.

What age group are these trainers best for?

These trainers are specifically designed for kids, featuring a bungee lace system that makes them easy for younger children to manage independently, while still offering style for older kids.

Can these be worn for sports like basketball or running?

While they offer good cushioning and stability for casual wear and light activities, they are primarily designed as lifestyle trainers and may not provide the specialized support needed for intense sports like basketball or competitive running.

What is the main advantage of the bungee lace system?

The main advantage is convenience. It allows children to easily slip the shoes on and off and adjust the fit quickly without needing help, promoting independence.

How does the ABZORB cushioning work?

ABZORB is a highly resilient foam compound that absorbs shock, helping to reduce the impact on the foot and provide a comfortable, cushioned feel during wear.

What does 'reissued' mean in the product description?

'Reissued' means that this is a reproduction of a classic shoe model that was originally released in the past (in this case, 1999), updated with modern manufacturing techniques while retaining the original design aesthetic.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or too loose

Adjust the bungee lace system. For a tighter fit, pull the lace tighter and secure the toggle. For a looser fit, loosen the toggle. Ensure the correct UK size is being used by referring to sizing charts.

Dirt and scuffs on the leather and mesh

Gently wipe down with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a small amount of mild soap on the cloth, then wipe clean with a fresh damp cloth. Always air dry.

Bungee lace not holding its position

Check that the toggle is fully engaged. If the bungee material appears stretched or worn, replacement may be necessary.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Classic retro-futuristic design appealing to both kids and parents.
  • Comfortable cushioning with ABZORB technology for all-day wear.
  • Easy-to-use bungee lace system for quick adjustments.
  • Durable construction suitable for active children.
  • Provides good stability for young, developing feet.

Cons

  • Specific sizing may require careful measurement to ensure a proper fit.
  • Bungee laces might not offer the same precise fit as traditional laces for some users.
  • May be perceived as a fashion item rather than a specialized sports shoe.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These trainers require no specific setup. The bungee lace system is designed for immediate wear. Simply slip the shoe onto the child's foot and adjust the bungee tie as needed for a snug fit.

Compatibility:

These are unisex trainers suitable for children and compatible with everyday children's clothing. They are designed for casual wear and light athletic activities.

Care Instructions:

  • Wipe the shoes with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Use a mild soap if necessary, and wipe clean with a fresh damp cloth.
  • Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
  • Avoid machine washing or using harsh chemicals, as this can damage the materials and construction.
  • Regularly check the bungee laces and toggles for wear and tear.
