FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
These are casual trainers designed for daily activities and walking. While fine for light play, they are not specific performance running shoes.
How do I ensure I have the right size?
Measure the child's foot in centimetres and compare it against the standard UK size chart for New Balance kids' footwear.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, as it can damage the materials and structural integrity of the shoe.
Are these unisex?
The New Balance 520 series features various designs and colourways suitable for both boys and girls.
Does the black colour fade easily?
With proper care and by avoiding abrasive cleaners, the black fabric will retain its colour well through typical use.
Do these provide arch support?
The 520 series offers standard cushioned support suitable for growing feet, though they are not marketed as orthopaedic footwear.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming undone frequently
Double-knot the laces or swap them for higher-friction athletic laces if the child is struggling to keep them tied.
Material scuffed from playground activity
Use a soft brush to gently remove surface debris and apply a shoe-specific cleaning foam for tougher stains.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longest lifespan for your New Balance 520 trainers, properly lace them to the top eyelet to ensure a snug fit that prevents heel slippage. For compatibility, ensure you are referencing UK sizing guides as per the product labels. To maintain the shoes, wipe away surface mud or dirt with a damp cloth after use. Avoid machine washing or using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can compromise the adhesives and breathable fabric structure. Air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators to maintain the shape of the foam and fabric.
