FAQs
What age group are these trainers suitable for?
These trainers are designed for children, with this specific model available in UK sizes starting from 1 and going up to 13.
Are these trainers waterproof?
The New Balance 1000 trainers are made with breathable mesh and synthetic overlays, which are not waterproof. They are designed for general wear and light athletic activities, offering ventilation rather than water protection.
Can these trainers be machine washed?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Machine washing can damage the materials, adhesives, and structural integrity of the shoe. Hand washing with mild soap and water is the preferred cleaning method.
How do I know if I've chosen the correct size?
It's best to measure your child's foot length and compare it to the New Balance sizing chart. Ensure there is a thumb's width of space between the longest toe and the end of the shoe. Trying them on with socks is also recommended.
What is ABZORB technology?
ABZORB is a New Balance proprietary midsole technology that combines cushioning and compression resistance. It helps absorb impact, providing a comfortable and supportive feel underfoot.
What is the Stability Web tech?
Stability Web is a technology integrated into the outsole of the shoe, designed to provide superior arch support and torsional stability. It helps control foot motion and maintain a smoother stride.
How should I store these trainers when not in use?
Store the trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoiding extreme temperatures can help preserve the materials and shape of the shoe.
Troubleshooting
Child complains of discomfort.
Check if the laces are too tight or too loose. Ensure the correct size is being worn; try on with the type of socks typically worn. The shoe might need a short break-in period.
Traction seems poor on certain surfaces.
Clean the rubber outsole to remove any accumulated dirt or debris that may be reducing grip. Ensure the shoe is the correct size, as a loose fit can affect stability.
Materials show signs of wear quickly.
Ensure the shoes are being used for their intended purpose. For heavy-duty play or rough surfaces, consider alternative footwear. Clean and store properly after use.
Odour develops inside the shoe.
Remove insoles (if possible) and air out the shoes daily. Use a shoe deodorizer or baking soda to absorb moisture and combat odour. Ensure feet are clean and dry before wearing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers require no setup. They are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure the laces are tied to a comfortable tightness for your child.
Compatibility: Suitable for children engaged in daily activities, school, and casual sports. They are designed for unisex wear.
Care:
- Cleaning the Upper: Wipe the mesh and synthetic overlays with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use mild soap and water, then rinse thoroughly. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and water to clean the ABZORB midsole and rubber outsole. Ensure all soap residue is removed.
- Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage the materials. Stuffing with paper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape during drying.
- Laces: Remove laces for separate cleaning if heavily soiled. Hand wash with soap and water and allow to dry completely before re-lacing.
