FAQs

Are these shoes machine washable?

It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Hand cleaning with a damp cloth is the safest way to maintain their integrity.

What is the best way to determine size?

Measure the child's foot from heel to toe while they are standing and compare it to the standard UK sizing guide provided by New Balance.

Are these suitable for wide feet?

The mesh construction offers some natural stretch, but generally, these fit true to standard width profiles.

Can these be used for PE class?

They are suitable for general PE activities and light exercise, though they are categorized as lifestyle trainers rather than high-performance athletic gear.

How do I prevent the beige mesh from staining?

Applying a water-repellent spray designed for mesh footwear can help shield the fabric from initial spills and dirt.

Troubleshooting

Laces coming undone frequently

Ensure a double knot is tied, or replace with slightly longer laces if the current ones are too short for a secure bow.

Footbed feels slippery

Ensure the child is wearing appropriate cotton-blend socks to improve grip and moisture management inside the shoe.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These trainers are designed for ease of use, with standard lacing for a secure, customizable fit. To maintain the appearance of your trainers:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dirt from the mesh and overlay sections.
  2. Stain Removal: For tougher marks, use a damp cloth with a mild soap solution, avoiding harsh detergents that may damage the materials.
  3. Drying: Always air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators, as high heat can compromise the adhesive and material shape.
  4. Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture buildup within the mesh.
