What material are these trainers made from?

The upper part of these specific trainers is made from leather, offering a blend of durability and style.

Troubleshooting

Sizing seems incorrect

Always refer to the New Balance sizing chart and measure your child's foot accurately before purchasing. Different models can have slight variations.

Leather appears scuffed or dirty

Gently clean with a damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a dedicated leather cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first. Condition the leather periodically to maintain suppleness.

Laces are difficult to tie or come undone

Ensure laces are threaded correctly and tied using a secure knot. Consider replacing laces with a different material or length if they are problematic.
