Product Information
Full details
The New Balance 1000 Bungee Lace Trainers are designed for kids who need a stylish and easy-to-wear shoe. They offer a blend of 90s futuristic aesthetics with modern comfort, featuring ABZORB cushioning for all-day support. A potential consideration is that the bungee lace system, while convenient, might not offer the same level of adjustability as traditional laces for very specific fits.

FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for sports?
These trainers are ideal for casual wear, school, and light recreational activities. For specialized sports, footwear designed specifically for that sport is recommended.
How do I adjust the bungee laces?
Locate the small plastic toggle on the laces. Push it away from the shoe to loosen the laces, and slide it towards the shoe to tighten. Ensure the fit is snug but not constricting.
What are the primary materials used?
The trainers feature a combination of nylon mesh underlays and synthetic overlay panels for the upper, with a durable rubber sole.
Can the bungee laces be replaced with regular laces?
While not designed for it, some users may be able to thread regular laces through the eyelets if they wish to have more adjustability. However, the original design intended for the bungee system.
What is ABZORB cushioning?
ABZORB is a New Balance technology that provides excellent shock absorption and cushioning, helping to reduce impact on the foot and joints.
How do I find the right size?
Refer to the size chart provided by New Balance and measure your child's foot to ensure the best fit. The listed size (e.g., UK 9.5) corresponds to specific foot measurements.
What is the main benefit of the bungee lace system?
The primary benefit is convenience. It allows for quick and easy on-and-off, making it ideal for children who are still developing their lacing skills or for busy mornings.
Troubleshooting
Bungee laces feel too loose or too tight.
Adjust the toggle on the bungee laces. Slide it up towards the tongue to tighten, or down towards the toe to loosen. Ensure an even fit across both feet.
Dirt or scuff marks on the trainers.
Gently wipe the affected areas with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then wipe clean with a damp cloth. Always air dry.
Shoe feels uncomfortable after wearing.
Ensure the correct size has been selected. Check that the bungee laces are adjusted properly for a comfortable but secure fit. The ABZORB cushioning may require a short break-in period.
