FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
We recommend avoiding machine washing. Hand cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap is the best way to maintain the structural integrity and materials of the 1000 series.
Can I replace the bungee laces with traditional laces?
The bungee lacing is integrated into the design of this specific model to facilitate easy wear. Modifying the lacing system may affect the intended fit and support.
How does the sizing compare to other brands?
New Balance typically follows standard UK sizing, but if you are between sizes, we recommend opting for the larger size to accommodate growing room.
What is the primary benefit of the Stability Web?
The Stability Web is a support structure in the midfoot that reduces the weight of the shoe while providing necessary torsional rigidity for active movement.
Are these suitable for sports?
While these are high-quality trainers, they are designed primarily for everyday wear and casual activity rather than specialized athletic sports requiring specific cleats or court grip.
Troubleshooting
Bungee lace feels too loose
The bungee system is designed for a consistent tension. If it feels too loose, check that the knot or clip at the base of the laces hasn't loosened and ensure the shoe size is correct for the foot.
Stains appearing on mesh upper
Use a soft brush to gently remove surface debris. Apply a mild soap solution with a cloth for spot cleaning; avoid harsh chemicals that might discolor the fabric.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Fit: The UK 12.5 size follows standard New Balance children's sizing guidelines. Always ensure there is a thumb-width of space at the front for growth.
- Setup: The bungee system is pre-configured for a secure fit out of the box. No initial adjustment is typically needed.
- Care: To keep the beige and grey finish looking sharp, wipe synthetic overlays with a damp cloth after use. Avoid machine washing to preserve the integrity of the mesh and the cushioning foam. Allow to air dry away from direct heat sources to prevent material warping.
