FAQs
What age group are these trainers for?
These trainers are specifically designed for infants and young children, indicated by the 'infant' and 'kids' age group attributes and the bungee lace system.
How do I clean the New Balance 1000 Bungee Lace Trainers?
Clean using a soft brush or a damp cloth. Avoid machine washing or using harsh chemicals. Allow them to air dry naturally.
What is the primary benefit of the bungee lace system?
The bungee lace system allows for quick and easy on-and-off, ideal for children who are learning to dress themselves or for parents needing to get kids ready quickly.
Are these trainers suitable for sports?
These trainers are best suited for everyday wear, walking, and general play. While they offer comfort and support, they are not specifically designed for high-impact or specialized sports.
How do I ensure I get the right size?
Refer to the New Balance sizing chart for children's footwear and measure your child's foot. Given they are for younger children, ensure there's a small amount of growing room but not so much that the shoe is unstable.
What does ABZORB cushioning do?
ABZORB is a superior cushioning and force-absorbing technology that helps to reduce the impact of landing, providing a comfortable and supportive feel for the child's feet.
What material are the trainers made of?
The trainers feature a combination of mesh underlays and synthetic overlay panels, primarily using nylon materials for durability.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too loose or slip off
Adjust the bungee laces for a tighter fit. Ensure the correct size has been purchased; consider the UK sizing guide for infants and children.
Difficulty adjusting bungee laces
Gently pull the toggles to tighten. To loosen, press the small lever on the toggle while sliding it. Consult the product packaging for any specific lace adjustment diagrams.
Material seems stiff initially
This is normal for new shoes. Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to mold to the foot. The mesh and synthetic materials will soften with use.
