FAQs
Are these trainers machine washable?
No, it is not recommended to machine wash these trainers as it can damage the materials and structure. Please follow the hand-cleaning instructions provided in the 'Product Care' section.
How do the bungee elastic laces work?
The bungee elastic laces allow for easy slip-on and off. You can adjust the tightness by pulling the elastic lace and securing it with the toggle. This provides a snug fit without the need for traditional tying.
What is ABZORB cushioning?
ABZORB is a proprietary New Balance foam that provides superior cushioning and compression resistance, absorbing impact to protect the foot during movement.
Are these trainers suitable for all seasons?
With their breathable mesh upper, these trainers are well-suited for warmer weather and active indoor play. For very cold or wet conditions, additional protective footwear might be more appropriate.
How do I ensure I choose the right size for my toddler?
Toddler foot sizes can change rapidly. It's best to measure your child's foot length and width and compare it to New Balance's sizing chart. Always allow a little extra room for growth, but avoid shoes that are too large, as this can cause tripping.
Are these trainers good for toddlers who are just learning to walk?
Yes, the ABZORB midsole provides cushioning for developing feet, the padded collar offers support, and the grippy rubber outsole helps with stability, making them suitable for toddlers learning to walk and run.
Troubleshooting
Trainers feel too loose or too tight on my child's foot.
Ensure the bungee elastic laces are adjusted correctly. Pull them to achieve a snug fit, but not so tight that they cause discomfort. Check the size against your child's current foot measurements; toddlers grow quickly.
My child's feet seem to get sweaty in the trainers.
While the trainers feature breathable mesh, consider the type of socks your child is wearing. Opt for moisture-wicking or breathable cotton socks. Ensure the trainers are not overly tight, which can restrict airflow.
The trainers are getting dirty very quickly.
This is common with active toddler footwear. Follow the care instructions for cleaning. Regular wiping down after outdoor play can prevent dirt buildup and help maintain their appearance.
The sole seems to be wearing down too fast.
For active toddlers, some sole wear is normal, especially on rough surfaces. The grippy rubber outsole is designed for durability, but extremely active play or dragging feet can accelerate wear. Ensure the trainers are used on appropriate surfaces.
