FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?
The New Balance 1000 trainers are designed with a standard fit. If your child has particularly wide feet, it's recommended to try them on in person or check for available wide-fit options if they exist for this model.
What is the primary benefit of ABZORB cushioning?
ABZORB cushioning is designed to absorb shock, providing a comfortable and supportive feel while reducing the impact on joints during wear.
How does the Stability Web shank help?
The Stability Web shank is located in the midfoot and provides torsional rigidity and support, helping to maintain the shoe's structure during movement and preventing excessive twisting.
Can these trainers be machine washed?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Machine washing can damage the materials, adhesives, and cushioning components. Hand cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method.
What is the original release year of this shoe model?
The New Balance 1000 model was originally released in 1999.
How should I choose the correct size for my child?
Refer to the New Balance sizing chart for children's footwear. It's best to measure your child's foot length and compare it to the chart, ensuring there is a little room for growth and comfort.
Are there other color options available for the kids' 1000 trainers?
Yes, New Balance often releases popular models in various colorways. You can check the 'variant_siblings' information for other available colors like Silver and Grey.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Check the lacing; loosen it to allow more room in the forefoot and midfoot.
Cushioning feels less effective over time
The ABZORB cushioning may naturally compress with extended use. For initial steps, ensure the laces are tied correctly for proper foot positioning within the shoe.
Discoloration on leather or synthetic parts
Wipe gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn marks, a specialized leather cleaner may be used sparingly on non-mesh areas.
Material scuffs easily
While designed for durability, frequent scuffing can occur with rough play. Clean scuffs gently with a damp cloth. For persistent marks on non-mesh areas, a white eraser can sometimes help.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Upper: For leather and synthetic parts, use a soft brush or damp cloth to wipe away dirt. For mesh areas, a soft brush with mild soap and water can be used gently. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
