Troubleshooting
Sizing seems incorrect
Refer to the New Balance sizing chart and measure your child's foot accurately. Consider the fit of similar shoes your child wears.
Shoes appear dirty after minimal use
This can be normal with mixed materials. Follow the recommended care instructions to clean them gently. Consider using a protective spray suitable for the materials.
