FAQs
How do I clean the suede on these trainers?
For routine cleaning, gently brush off dirt with a suede brush. For tougher spots, use a suede-specific cleaning solution applied with a soft cloth. Always allow to air dry completely.
Are these trainers suitable for playing sports?
These trainers are designed for casual wear and general active play. While they offer good comfort and support for everyday activities, they are not specifically engineered for high-performance sports like football or basketball, which might require more specialized footwear.
What is ABZORB cushioning?
ABZORB is a New Balance proprietary foam material that offers excellent cushioning and compression set resistance. It helps absorb impact and distributes energy, providing superior comfort and support for your child's feet.
What does 'BUNGEE' refer to in the product name?
The 'BUNGEE' in the name typically refers to the lacing system, suggesting an easy-to-use, probably elastic or quick-adjust closure, rather than traditional tie laces. This design is great for kids who need to put on and take off their shoes quickly and independently.
Are these trainers true to size?
New Balance children's shoes generally run true to size. However, it's always recommended to measure your child's feet and consult a New Balance size chart if available, or try them on to ensure the best fit.
Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?
Due to the suede upper, these trainers are not recommended for heavy rain or wet conditions. Suede can get damaged or stained when wet. For better protection, consider applying a water-repellent spray specifically designed for suede.
Troubleshooting
Suede material appears dirty or stained easily.
Use a specialized suede brush to gently remove loose dirt. For tougher stains, apply a small amount of suede cleaner to a soft cloth and dab the affected area, then allow to air dry. Avoid harsh scrubbing which can damage the suede nap.
Trainers feel too tight or loose after initial wear.
Ensure your child is wearing appropriate socks. If the trainers are too tight, check that the Bungee closure isn't overly tightened. If too loose, explore whether the bungee system allows for minor adjustments or if a different size might be needed. New Balance sizes are generally consistent, but individual foot shapes vary.
Unpleasant odor developing inside the trainers.
Allow trainers to air out thoroughly after each wear. Consider using shoe deodorizers or sprinkling a small amount of baking soda inside overnight to absorb odors. Ensure socks are changed daily to prevent bacterial buildup.
