FAQs
What age group are these trainers designed for?
These trainers are specifically designed for infants, providing comfort and support for their developing feet.
Are these trainers good for learning to walk?
Yes, with their secure lace fastening, supportive upper, and ABZORB cushioned midsole, they provide excellent stability and comfort for infants who are learning to walk or are already active.
What materials are used in the New Balance Infant 530 Trainers?
They feature a breathable synthetic upper construction with slick overlays and a durable grippy outsole, complemented by ABZORB midsole technology for cushioning.
How do I ensure the correct size for my infant?
Measure your infant's foot and compare it to New Balance's size chart. Always leave about a thumb's width of space between their longest toe and the end of the shoe for comfort and growth. It's recommended to measure regularly due to rapid growth.
Can these trainers be machine washed?
No, it is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Machine washing can damage the materials, cushioning, and adhesives. Please refer to the 'Care Instructions' for proper cleaning methods.
Are the laces adjustable?
Yes, the secure lace fastening allows for adjustability to provide a snug and customized fit for your infant's foot, ensuring they stay on securely during activity.
Troubleshooting
Trainers keep slipping off your infant's feet.
Ensure the laces are tied securely but not too tightly. Check if the trainers are the correct size; if they are too big, they may slip. Wearing thicker socks might also help improve the fit if the shoes are slightly loose.
Infant shows signs of discomfort or redness after wearing the trainers.
Immediately remove the trainers. Check the sizing to ensure there's enough room for their toes and that the width is appropriate. Ensure socks are worn, and check for any debris inside the shoe. Allow their feet to rest before trying again, perhaps with different socks or a re-evaluation of the fit.
White trainers appear dirty quickly.
Regular spot cleaning is key. Use a soft, damp cloth with a mild soap after each significant wear to prevent dirt from setting in. For tougher stains, a gentle scrub with a soft brush and mild cleaner can be effective, followed by air drying.
Laces come undone frequently during activity.
Ensure you are using a double knot for added security, especially during active play. You can also consider replacing the laces with a slightly more textured type if they are exceptionally slippery.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Unpack: Remove the trainers from their packaging.
- Lace Up: Ensure the laces are properly threaded through all eyelets. Before putting them on, loosen the laces sufficiently.
- Fit: Slide your infant's foot into the shoe, ensuring their heel is fully seated. Press down on the toe area to check for about a thumb's width of space between the longest toe and the end of the shoe, allowing for growth and movement.
- Secure: Gently pull the laces taut and tie them in a secure bow. Avoid tying too tightly, which can restrict circulation, or too loosely, which can cause the shoe to slip.
Compatibility
These trainers are designed for infants (Age Group: Infant). They are compatible with a wide range of casual wear, including shorts, leggings, jeans, and play outfits. Ensure socks are worn to enhance comfort and prevent rubbing. Consider the weather conditions, as while the upper is breathable, it is not waterproof.
Care Instructions
- Spot Cleaning: For minor dirt and scuffs, use a soft, damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap (like baby shampoo) to gently wipe the affected areas. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Deep Cleaning: For more stubborn marks, a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) can be used with the soapy solution to scrub gently. Wipe clean with a damp cloth.
- Drying: Always allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do *not* use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage the materials.
- Avoid Submerging: Do not submerge the entire shoe in water, as this can affect the cushioning and adhesive.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
