FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
They are designed for everyday wear and light activity; while suitable for playing, they are not specialized running shoes.
How do I ensure the right fit for my child?
Measure your child's feet in the afternoon when they are at their largest and allow for a thumb's width of space at the toes.
Can these shoes be machine washed?
We recommend hand cleaning only to ensure the materials and adhesive last as long as possible.
Are these trainers unisex?
Yes, the New Balance 480 line is designed as unisex, featuring a neutral design appropriate for all children.
Does the leather version require special care?
For leather models, applying a leather protectant spray can help repel water and prevent stains from setting in.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming untied frequently
Double-knot the laces or swap for elastic no-tie laces for a more secure, low-maintenance fit.
Trainers appearing dirty after outdoor play
Spot clean the surface with a damp cloth and mild detergent, then let them air dry in a well-ventilated area.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers come with standard lace-up or hook-and-loop closures depending on the specific model, ensuring a customizable fit for various foot widths. To maintain their appearance, clean them regularly using a soft brush to remove loose dirt from the outsole and uppers. For stains, use a mild soap and a damp cloth; avoid machine washing as this can compromise the structural integrity of the materials. Allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources to maintain the shape and cushioning.
