FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
They are designed for general everyday wear and light activity, making them excellent for school and play, though they are not specialized athletic track shoes.
How do I determine the right size for my child?
Measure the child's foot from heel to toe while they are standing and compare it to the New Balance UK size chart, ideally leaving a small amount of room for growth.
Can these be machine washed?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, as it can damage the internal cushioning and outer materials; stick to spot cleaning.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, they are made of standard textile and synthetic materials that are not waterproof; they are best suited for dry weather conditions.
Is the sole non-marking?
The outsoles are designed to be durable and generally safe for indoor gym floors, but always check specific facility requirements.
Troubleshooting
Trainer feels too tight after short wear
Check if the laces are tied too tightly or if the child's feet have outgrown the current size; consider moving up a half size.
Outer fabric looks dull or dusty
Use a soft brush to sweep off dry dust and a slightly damp cloth to wipe the surface to restore the grey tone.
Laces coming untied frequently
Ensure a double-knot is used, or consider replacing them with elasticated no-tie laces for younger children.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best fit, verify your child's current UK shoe size against the New Balance sizing chart, as children's sizing can vary slightly between brands. For cleaning, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dried mud or debris from the outsole. If the fabric upper becomes soiled, use a mild detergent mixed with water and a soft cloth to gently spot-clean the area. Avoid submerging the trainers in water or putting them in a tumble dryer, as heat can degrade the adhesives and structural foam. Allow them to air dry naturally in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
