FAQs
What is ABZORB cushioning?
ABZORB is a proprietary New Balance cushioning technology that provides exceptional shock absorption and energy return, enhancing comfort underfoot for all-day wear.
How does the bungee closure work?
The bungee closure features an elastic cord and a toggle. To tighten, slide the toggle down the cord. To loosen, press the button on the toggle and slide it up the cord, allowing for easy on and off without tying laces.
Are these shoes suitable for all sports?
While inspired by running shoes, the New Balance 530 Bungee is primarily designed for casual wear and general daily activities, offering comfort and style. For specialized sports, New Balance offers specific athletic footwear designed for particular performance needs.
How do I choose the correct size for my child?
It is recommended to measure your child's foot and consult the New Balance sizing chart. Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between the longest toe and the end of the shoe for growth and comfort.
Can these shoes be machine washed?
No, it is not recommended to machine wash these sneakers. Machine washing can damage the materials, cushioning, and overall structure of the shoe. Please follow the gentle cleaning instructions provided in the 'Setup, Compatibility & Care' section.
Is this model available in other colors or adult sizes?
The New Balance 530 series is available in various colors and sizes, including adult versions. For other colors or sizes for this specific Bungee kids' model, please check the product listings for other variants. This particular variant is a kids' shoe in Grey.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Adjust the bungee closure. Ensure the bungee is not pulled too tightly, restricting circulation, or too loosely, causing the foot to slide.
Shoes get dirty quickly
Regularly wipe down the shoes with a damp cloth and mild soap. For tougher spots, a soft brush can be used, but always test on an inconspicuous area first.
Child has difficulty putting them on
Loosen the bungee closure fully before attempting to put the foot in. Guide the child to practice slipping their foot in while holding the tongue, then tightening the bungee.
Squeaking sound when walking
Check if the insole is properly seated within the shoe. Sometimes a loose insole can cause squeaking. If not, the noise might subside with more wear.
