Troubleshooting
Sizing is incorrect
Refer to the New Balance size chart and measure your child's foot accurately. If possible, try them on before purchasing or check the return policy for exchanges.
Stains on the trainers
Gently clean the affected area with a damp cloth and mild soap. For tougher stains, use a specialized shoe cleaner suitable for nylon and polyester materials, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
Reduced cushioning feel over time
While designed for durability, cushioning can naturally decrease with heavy use. Ensure the shoes are not being used for activities beyond their intended purpose. Regular cleaning can help maintain material integrity.
Fraying material after a short period
This may indicate excessive wear or an unusual stress point. Check for any sharp objects or rough surfaces the shoes may be exposed to during wear. Ensure the shoes are not being used for activities they are not designed for.

Compatibility:
- Foot Type: Generally suitable for most kids' feet, but individuals with very narrow or wide feet might find other models a better fit. The focus on cushioning and stability makes them versatile.
- Activities: Best suited for casual wear, walking, running, and general play. Not designed for specialized sports like basketball or formal occasions.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to clean the upper and midsole. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the materials. For stubborn dirt, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.
- Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can alter their shape and damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Keeping them away from direct sunlight can help preserve their color and material integrity.
