FAQs
What age group are these trainers suitable for?
These trainers are designed for kids, with the specific pair being a UK size 5.5, typically suitable for younger children.
What is ABZORB cushioning?
ABZORB is New Balance's proprietary cushioning technology that provides excellent shock absorption and a comfortable feel.
How do I know if I'm choosing the right size?
Refer to the New Balance sizing chart and measure your child's foot length. It's often best to measure at the end of the day when feet are typically largest.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, these trainers are not waterproof. They are made with mesh and synthetic materials which are breathable but will allow water to pass through.
Can these trainers be worn for sports?
While they offer good cushioning and support for everyday activities and light play, they are primarily designed as lifestyle trainers rather than specialized athletic shoes for high-impact sports.
What does the '1000' in the name signify?
The '1000' refers to the original model series released in 1999, known for its bold, futuristic design and advanced technology for its time.
Troubleshooting
Sizing feels incorrect
Ensure you have measured your child's foot accurately according to New Balance's sizing guide. If the fit is still off, consider trying a half-size up or down, or consult a footwear specialist.
Soles appear to be separating slightly
For minor separation, a flexible adhesive designed for footwear can be used. If the separation is significant or compromises the shoe's integrity, discontinue use and consider replacement.
Fading of color
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Clean with mild cleaners as recommended. Color fading can be a natural process with regular use and exposure.
