FAQs
What is ABZORB cushioning?
ABZORB is a proprietary New Balance foam blend that provides superior cushioning and compression resistance, helping to absorb impact during activities and enhance overall comfort.
How does the bungee closure work?
The bungee closure replaces traditional laces with an elastic cord and a toggle. Children can easily pull the toggle to tighten the shoe or press a button on the toggle to loosen it, allowing for quick adjustments and easy on/off.
Are these sneakers suitable for sports or running?
While inspired by classic running shoes and offering great comfort, these New Balance 530 Bungee sneakers are primarily designed for casual, everyday wear and light activity rather than intensive sports or performance running. For specialized sports, dedicated athletic footwear is recommended.
How should I clean the suede on these shoes?
For basic cleaning, use a suede brush to remove loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, apply a suede-specific cleaner with a soft cloth or brush, following the product instructions, then allow to air dry. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water.
Are these shoes true to size?
New Balance sizing is generally consistent. However, foot shapes vary. It is always recommended to measure your child's foot and refer to the New Balance sizing chart for the most accurate fit. If possible, try them on.
What age group are these shoes designed for?
These sneakers are specifically designed for kids, offering features and sizing appropriate for young children and pre-teens.
Can these sneakers be worn in wet weather?
Due to the suede material, it's advisable to avoid heavy wet weather conditions as suede can be susceptible to water damage and staining. Consider applying a water-resistant spray designed for suede if light moisture exposure is anticipated.
Troubleshooting
My child's shoe feels too loose or too tight.
Check if the bungee closure is properly adjusted. Ensure the foot is fully inserted and the bungee is tightened enough to secure the foot without causing discomfort. Review the sizing chart to confirm the correct size was purchased.
The suede part of the shoe looks dirty or scuffed.
Use a specialized suede brush to gently remove dry dirt and scuffs. For more stubborn marks, a suede eraser or cleaner designed for athletic footwear can be applied, following the product instructions carefully. Always allow to air dry.
The bungee closure isn't staying tight.
Inspect the bungee and its locking mechanism for any signs of wear or damage. Ensure the bungee is threaded correctly through the lock. If damaged, contact New Balance customer service for replacement options.

Care
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your New Balance 530 Bungee sneakers:
- General Cleaning: For light dirt, wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap (if necessary). Allow to air dry completely away from direct heat.
- Suede Care: For suede sections, use a suede brush to gently remove dirt and scuffs. For tougher stains, a specialized suede cleaner can be used. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
- Drying: Avoid machine drying. Always air dry shoes. Stuffing with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Avoid: Do not machine wash or submerge in water, especially due to the suede material.
