FAQs

What age group are these trainers for?

These trainers are specifically designed for kids, fitting into the 'kids' age group category.

What does 'ABZORB cushioning' do?

ABZORB is a New Balance technology that provides excellent shock absorption at the heel and forefoot, enhancing comfort and reducing impact.

Are these trainers waterproof?

The trainers are made from nylon and synthetic materials and are not designed to be waterproof. They offer some resistance to light moisture but are not suitable for wet conditions.

How do I find the correct size?

Refer to the sizing chart provided by New Balance, measuring your child's foot from heel to toe. The UK size is indicated for this model.

Can these trainers be machine washed?

No, machine washing is not recommended. Spot cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method for care.

What is the 'Stability Web'?

The Stability Web is a midfoot shank integrated into the sole that provides torsional rigidity and support to the arch area.

Are there other color options available?

This guide focuses on the Black colorway. Other color options and variations may be available as separate product listings.

Troubleshooting

Trainer feels too tight or loose.

Verify the UK size against your child's foot measurement. Adjust lacing for a snugger or looser fit. Consider an insole if slight looseness persists.

Cushioning feels stiff initially.

The ABZORB cushioning may require a short break-in period. Wear the trainers for short durations initially to allow them to mold to the foot.

Sole appears worn quickly.

Ensure the trainers are used for their intended purpose (casual wear, light activity). Excessive use on abrasive surfaces can accelerate wear. Clean regularly to prevent grit accumulation.
