FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
It is generally recommended to hand-wash New Balance trainers with mild soap to preserve the structural integrity and cushioning.
Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?
The lace-up design allows for some adjustability, though standard sizing is used. It is best to check the specific fit in person if your child has wide feet.
Can the insoles be removed?
The insoles are generally designed as part of the internal construction; removing them may affect the support and fit of the shoe.
What is the best way to keep the white fabric clean?
Use a specialized sneaker cleaning wipe or a soft cloth with a mixture of mild detergent and water, focusing on localized stains immediately after use.
Are these suitable for long-distance running?
While they feature a runner profile and cushioning, they are optimized for everyday leisure and general activity rather than high-performance distance running.
How do I determine the correct size?
We recommend measuring your child's foot length in centimeters and comparing it to the official New Balance size chart.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming undone frequently
Ensure a double knot is tied or replace with slightly shorter laces if the current ones are too long.
Difficulty getting the shoe on
Loosen the laces down to the toe box before putting the foot in, then tighten incrementally for a custom fit.
Outer sole picking up debris
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove stones or dirt trapped in the tread pattern.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best fit, adjust the laces comfortably—the shoe should be snug but not restrictive. For maintenance, spot-clean the trainers using a soft cloth and mild soap; avoid submerging them in water or using harsh chemicals that could damage the synthetic materials or color finish. It is recommended to air-dry the shoes away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, to prevent material deformation.
