FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for sports?

The New Balance 1000 Trainers are designed for everyday comfort and casual wear. While they offer good support for general activities, they are not specialized for high-impact sports that require specific athletic features.

How do I know if I have the correct size?

Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between the longest toe and the end of the shoe. The heel should feel snug without slipping, and the midfoot should feel secure but not constricted.

Can these trainers be machine washed?

It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Machine washing can damage the cushioning, adhesives, and structural integrity of the shoe. Hand cleaning is the preferred method.

What is ABZORB cushioning?

ABZORB is a New Balance proprietary cushioning technology that provides a comfortable and supportive feel by absorbing shock effectively in the heel and forefoot.

Are there other color options available for the kids' 1000 series?

The product information provided focuses on the Black/Grey variant. Other color options may exist for the 1000 series in different sizes or for adults, but are not detailed here.

What is the Stability Web midfoot shank for?

The Stability Web is a component in the sole that provides midfoot support and helps control the rate of pronation, contributing to a more stable walking or running experience.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking noise from shoes

This can sometimes happen due to friction between internal shoe parts. Try removing the insole and reinserting it. If the noise persists, a light dusting of talcum powder under the insole might help.

Discoloration on synthetic parts

Wipe gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners. For persistent marks, consult a specialized shoe cleaner product and test on an inconspicuous area first.

Inconsistent fit

Ensure the laces are properly tied to secure the foot. If the shoe feels too loose or tight despite correct lacing, consider if the size is appropriate or if insoles are needed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These trainers are ready to wear right out of the box, requiring no specific setup. They are compatible with casual children's attire and suitable for everyday activities.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the mesh and synthetic surfaces with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush.
  2. Midsole and Outsole: Clean with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the cushioning or tread.
  3. Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can warp the materials.
  4. Laces: Remove laces for separate cleaning by hand washing with mild soap.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
