FAQs
What age group are these trainers best suited for?
These trainers are designed for kids, with specific sizing available for toddlers, infants, and older children. Please check the size chart for precise age and foot size correlations.
How do I determine the correct size for my child?
It is recommended to measure your child's foot and compare it to the New Balance size chart. Trying the shoes on in-store, if possible, is the most accurate method.
Can these trainers be worn in wet conditions?
While the leather offers some protection, these trainers are not waterproof. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or puddles to protect the leather and maintain comfort.
Are there different closure types available?
Yes, some models within the 2002 series for kids feature hook-and-loop closures for easier on-and-off, while others use traditional laces.
What is the warranty period for these trainers?
Warranty information can vary. Please refer to the retailer's or manufacturer's policy for details regarding the warranty on this product.
How often should I condition the leather?
It's advisable to condition the leather every 2-3 months, or more frequently if the shoes are exposed to dry or harsh conditions.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces or hook-and-loop straps. If the shoes are consistently too tight, they may be the wrong size. Consult a size guide or try a half-size up.
Leather appears dry or cracked
Apply a good quality leather conditioner to moisturize the material. Ensure the shoes are not exposed to excessive heat.
Soles are dirty and performance is affected
Clean the soles with a brush and water. For stubborn dirt, use a mild detergent and water solution.
Stitching is coming loose
For minor loose threads, carefully trim them with scissors. If significant stitching is unraveling, contact customer support for potential repair or replacement options.
