Troubleshooting
Trainers feel too tight or loose.
Double-check your infant's foot size against the shoe size. Ensure socks aren't too thick or thin. Readjust fastenings for a snug but comfortable fit. Remember that infant feet grow very quickly.
Infant resists wearing the trainers.
Ensure the trainers are not too tight or rubbing anywhere. Check for any foreign objects inside. Make sure socks are smooth. Sometimes, infants just need a moment to adjust to new footwear.
Trainers appear dirty quickly.
This is common with infant shoes. Follow the care instructions for spot cleaning regularly. A protective spray (designed for footwear) can help repel dirt and stains, if suitable for infant products.
Soles seem slippery.
While New Balance trainers typically have good grip, always ensure the soles are clean and dry. Avoid wearing them on extremely slick surfaces. Inspect soles for excessive wear if an older pair.
