FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for school uniforms?
Yes, the understated black and grey color scheme typically meets the requirements of most school uniform policies.
Do I need to tie these laces?
No, these trainers feature a bungee lace system designed for a slip-on fit without the need for tying.
How do I clean the mesh material?
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dry dirt, then wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary.
Are these true to size?
New Balance typically offers a standard fit; it is recommended to measure the child's foot or refer to the size chart for the most accurate fit.
Can these be worn for running sports?
While they provide great support for daily play, they are categorized as lifestyle trainers and may not provide enough stability for competitive long-distance running.
Troubleshooting
Bungee laces feeling too loose
Ensure the lace toggle or knot at the base is securely tightened and not showing signs of wear.
Shoes accumulating exterior dirt
Wipe down with a damp cloth immediately after outdoor play to prevent deep staining.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers require no formal setup; they are ready to wear immediately. To ensure longevity, keep the shoes clean by wiping them with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dust. If the shoes become heavily soiled, use a gentle detergent and warm water, but avoid machine washing to maintain the integrity of the materials. Ensure the shoes are air-dried away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the cushioning components.
