FAQs

What are the primary materials used in these trainers?

The trainers feature a combination of breathable mesh and durable leather overlays for the upper, with a synthetic sole.

Are these trainers suitable for sports?

These trainers are designed for general wear and light activities. For high-impact sports, specialized athletic footwear is recommended.

How should I clean these New Balance trainers?

Clean by wiping with a damp cloth and mild soap if needed. Air dry naturally and avoid machine washing.

What type of cushioning do these trainers have?

They feature ABZORB and N-ergy cushioning, which provides shock absorption and a responsive feel.

What is the purpose of the padded collar?

The padded collar is designed to provide extra comfort and support around the ankle.

How do I ensure I select the correct size for my child?

It's recommended to measure your child's foot and compare it to the New Balance size chart. Ensure there is a little room for growth, but not so much that the shoe is loose.

Can these trainers be worn in wet conditions?

While they offer some protection, they are not waterproof. They are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain may saturate the materials.

Troubleshooting

Laces not staying tied

Ensure the laces are tied using a secure knot, and consider double-knotting them for extra security, especially during active play.

Shoe feels too tight or loose

Adjust the lacing pattern to provide more or less pressure across the foot. Ensure the correct size has been selected, referring to size charts if necessary.

Dirt and scuff marks on the upper

Use a damp cloth with a mild cleaning solution to gently wipe away marks. For leather overlays, a specialized leather cleaner might be effective.

Insole feels uncomfortable

Check that the laces are properly adjusted. If discomfort persists, consider if the sizing is correct or if the child's foot shape requires a different type of support.
