Troubleshooting
Difficulty adjusting the closure
Ensure the Velcro is fully disengaged before attempting to adjust. The stretch laces offer flexibility, so focus on the Velcro for security. If the laces appear too tight, gently stretch them to help with fitting.
Shoes appear too large or too small
Refer to the New Balance sizing chart for children's shoes. Ensure you have measured your child's foot correctly. The specific UK size (e.g., 3.5) should correspond to the correct foot measurement.
Reduced cushioning or support over time
While Fresh Foam is durable, prolonged, intense use can affect cushioning. For optimal comfort, consider replacing the shoes after significant wear, especially if the child is actively walking and running daily.
Smell developing inside the shoe
Remove the insoles (if removable) and allow both shoes and insoles to air out completely. Sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors, then empty before wearing.

- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or a damp cloth to gently clean the mesh and synthetic overlays. Avoid harsh detergents.
- Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Wipe down the foam midsole and rubber outsole with a damp cloth. For tougher marks, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly.
