FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for machine washing?

No, machine washing can damage the structure and adhesive properties of the trainers. Clean them by hand using a soft cloth and mild soap.

Do these trainers have arch support?

The NB FLASH series is designed with a structured runner shape that provides basic support suitable for most children's daily activities.

Are they true to size?

Yes, they generally follow standard UK children's sizing. If you are between sizes, it is often recommended to size up slightly for growth.

Can the laces be replaced with elastic ones?

Yes, you can replace the factory laces with elastic 'no-tie' laces if you prefer easier entry for your child.

Are these shoes appropriate for gym class?

They are well-suited for general school gym activities, light running, and playground play.

Is the material waterproof?

The materials are not waterproof. They are best suited for dry conditions to keep feet comfortable.

Troubleshooting

Laces constantly coming untied

Double-knot the laces or swap them for higher-friction laces if the standard ones feel too slippery.

Visible scuff marks on the black surface

Use a specialized black shoe polish or a clean, damp cloth with a mild soap solution to gently buff out marks.

Foot discomfort during long-term wear

Check if the laces are tied too tightly across the bridge of the foot, or consider using a thinner pair of socks.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable construction for everyday wear
  • Secure fit provided by lace-up system
  • Versatile black design matches any outfit
  • Stable structure supports active play

Cons

  • Requires manual lacing which may be difficult for younger children
  • All-black colorway shows dust and scuffs easily

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longest lifespan for your New Balance NB FLASH trainers, start by adjusting the laces for a snug but comfortable fit across the midfoot. These trainers are standard UK children's sizing and are compatible with standard athletic or cotton socks. For care, it is recommended to remove surface dirt with a soft-bristled brush after use. If the shoes become damp, air-dry them away from direct heat sources to preserve the structural integrity of the materials. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can break down the adhesives and padding.
