FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, it is recommended to spot clean them with a damp cloth to protect the integrity of the faux leather and the cushioning components.
What is the primary benefit of the ABZORB technology?
ABZORB is a specialized foam material that provides excellent shock absorption, protecting active kids' feet from impact during walking and running.
Do these shoes come with traditional laces?
No, this version features a bungee lace system designed for easy entry and a snug fit for children.
How do I choose the right size for my child?
It is best to measure your child's feet in the afternoon when they are at their largest and compare them to the standard UK size guide provided for the 1000 series.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The streamlined design of the 1000 series is generally standard, but the elastic bungee system does provide some flexibility for different foot shapes.
Troubleshooting
Elastic laces feel too loose or too tight
The bungee system is designed for ease of use but is not adjustable like standard laces. If the fit is consistently poor, ensure the tongue is centered properly to allow for maximum expansion.
Scuff marks on the faux leather
Use a specialized sneaker cleaning wipe or a soft eraser to gently buff out light surface scuffs from the white synthetic panels.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of the New Balance 1000 trainers, avoid machine washing the faux leather. Instead, use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap to wipe away surface dirt after outdoor use. Allow the shoes to air dry away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the synthetic materials. For optimal comfort, ensure the child is wearing socks appropriate for the season, as the mesh panels allow for good airflow which works best when paired with breathable moisture-wicking socks. The sizing is specifically calibrated for growing feet, so verify the child's current UK shoe size against the size guide before purchase.
