How do I clean the grey finish on these shoes?
Clean the uppers with a damp cloth or a soft brush. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap and water solution. Avoid soaking the shoes or using harsh cleaning agents to protect the finish.
Are these trainers suitable for sports activities?

What is the benefit of the touch 'n' close fastening?
The touch 'n' close fastening provides a secure and adjustable fit that is very easy for children to operate themselves, promoting independence.
Can these trainers be machine washed?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, as it can damage the materials and construction. Spot cleaning with a damp cloth is the preferred method.
What does 'low top' mean in relation to these trainers?

How do I find the correct size for my child?
Refer to the New Balance sizing guide and measure your child's foot to ensure the best fit. The product specifies UK kids' sizing. It's often helpful to check the inner sole length if possible.
Troubleshooting
Touch 'n' close strap not sticking securely
Ensure the strap and the corresponding area are clean and free from dirt, dust, or debris. Lint buildup can reduce adhesion. Gently clean with a damp cloth and allow to air dry completely.
Shoes appear dirty or stained
Spot clean with a mild soap and water solution using a damp cloth or a soft brush. For textile areas, a specialized fabric cleaner might be effective. Always test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first. Allow to air dry.
Foul odor inside the shoes
Remove the insoles (if possible) and air out the shoes thoroughly. Baking soda can be used inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors. Ensure feet are clean and dry before wearing.
Sole shows signs of wear
Regularly check the sole for excessive wear or damage. For minor wear, ensure it's kept clean for better grip. These trainers are designed for casual use; prolonged high-impact activity may accelerate wear.
