FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, it is recommended to clean them by hand using a damp cloth and mild soap to protect the structural integrity of the Tfoam.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
New Balance offers various fits, but this specific model has a standard width; if the child has very wide feet, you may want to consult our sizing guide for alternative options.
Can I use these for long-distance running?
While these are excellent for school and casual sports, they are primarily designed as everyday trainers; for competitive long-distance running, professional performance gear is recommended.
Do these trainers provide arch support?
Yes, the Tfoam series includes integrated cushioning and arch support designed to aid comfort for growing feet.
How often should I replace my child's trainers?
Generally, it is advised to check the fit every 3 to 4 months as children's feet grow quickly and the tread will naturally wear down with frequent use.
Troubleshooting
The trainers feel too tight after a few weeks of wear
Check if the child's feet have grown or if the laces are tied too tightly; if the foot is pressing against the front, it is time for a larger size.
Accumulated dirt on the black surface
Use a specialized sneaker cleaning foam or a gentle damp cloth to wipe down the surface; ensure it is fully dry before the next use.
Laces coming undone frequently
Ensure a double knot is used, or consider replacing the laces with elastic no-tie alternatives if the child finds traditional lacing difficult.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance Tfoam Trainers last, follow these guidelines:
- Sizing: These trainers are sized for children. Always measure the child's foot with a professional gauge or use the New Balance sizing chart for the UK 4.5 size to ensure proper fit.
- Cleaning: To clean, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dried mud or debris. Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and a mild soap solution if necessary. Avoid submerging the trainers in water or using a washing machine, as this can degrade the internal adhesives and foam structure.
- Drying: Air dry the trainers away from direct heat sources like radiators, as excessive heat can cause the material to warp or crack.
