Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or dirty
Use a suede brush to restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, consult a specialized suede cleaner.
Shoelaces are difficult to tie securely
Ensure laces are not frayed. If they come undone frequently, consider double-knotting them or replacing them with new laces.
Traction feels reduced on smooth surfaces
Clean the outsole with a damp cloth to remove any accumulated dirt or debris that might be hindering grip.
Inconsistent sizing when ordering online
Refer to the New Balance sizing chart and measure your child's foot accurately before purchasing. Consider the fit of previous New Balance shoes if applicable.
