FAQs
What age group are these trainers suitable for?
These trainers are designed for kids and are ideal for active children who participate in sports or require durable everyday footwear.
Are these trainers waterproof?
The product information does not specify waterproof capabilities. They are designed for sports and general wear, but should not be considered waterproof for submersion.
What is the heel height of these trainers?
The heel height is flat, providing a natural feel and stable base.
Can these trainers be used for running?
While they offer cushioning and support, they are primarily marketed as basketball sneakers and casual trainers. For specialized running, dedicated running shoes might be more appropriate.
How do I know if I've chosen the correct size?
It is recommended to measure your child's foot and compare it to the UK sizing chart provided by New Balance. Ensure there is a little room for growth, but not so much that the shoe is loose.
What material is the outer sole made of?
The outer sole is made of rubber.
Can these trainers be machine washed?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and construction of the trainers. Spot cleaning is the preferred method.
Troubleshooting
Laces are difficult to tie securely
Ensure the laces are not frayed. Double-knot the laces for extra security. Practice tying with the child to build their skill.
Tread appears worn, reducing grip
Inspect the rubber outsole for excessive wear. If the tread is significantly diminished, it may be time to consider replacement for safety.
Discoloration or stiffness of materials
This could be due to improper cleaning or drying. Always use gentle cleaning methods and air dry away from heat. Consider a leather conditioner if stiffness is due to dryness.
