Product Information
Full details
The New Balance 2000 Trainers are designed for active kids who need a blend of modern style and high-performance comfort. Featuring a 2000s-inspired aesthetic combined with advanced cushioning technology, these shoes provide excellent support for all-day wear. A potential caveat for parents is that the minimalist-influenced upper may show signs of wear faster than traditional heavy-duty athletic footwear, so they are best suited for school, play, and casual outings rather than extreme terrain.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The New Balance 2000 series features a standard fit. If your child has very wide feet, you may want to ensure the lacing is adjusted appropriately or consider a half-size increase.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes. Submersion can damage the structural integrity of the cushioning foam and the adhesive bonds.
What is the primary difference between the 2000 and 2000 Lace series?
While both share similar comfort technology, the 2000 Lace series often focuses on a traditional lacing system to ensure a customized, secure lockdown for specific foot shapes.
Do these shoes provide good arch support?
The ABZORB technology provides a stable, cushioned platform that supports the natural curvature of a child's foot during daily activities.
Are the materials breathable?
Yes, the minimalist upper design is constructed with materials that allow for airflow, keeping feet comfortable even during active play.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight after a long day of use
Feet often swell slightly throughout the day; ensure laces are adjusted for a secure but non-constricting fit.
Outer sole picking up debris
Use a specialized rubber sole brush or a toothpick to gently remove gravel or small stones from the tread patterns to maintain grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your New Balance 2000 Trainers, keep these care tips in mind:
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dried mud or debris from the outsole and mesh areas. For spot cleaning, use a mild detergent mixed with warm water and a soft cloth.
- Drying: Always air dry at room temperature. Avoid placing the shoes near direct heat sources like radiators or inside a tumble dryer, as this can warp the foam cushioning.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading of the blue and grey fabrics.
- Fit Check: Ensure the size is appropriate for the child's foot by checking for roughly a thumb-width of space in the toe box.
