How do I ensure the best fit for my child?
Refer to the New Balance sizing chart for kids and measure your child's feet accurately. Ensure there is a little room for growth, but not so much that the shoe is loose.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or too loose
Ensure the laces are properly adjusted. If the issue persists, consult the New Balance size guide and consider if a different size is needed. Different materials in the upper may stretch slightly over time.
Deterioration of cushioning or material
Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme heat or moisture. Follow the recommended spot-cleaning method and ensure the shoes are aired out properly. Avoid activities that could excessively stress the materials.
Squeaking noise during walking
This can sometimes occur due to friction between shoe components. Try inserting a light powder like talcum powder under the insole or check if the laces are rubbing excessively.
