FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
Yes, the inclusion of ABZORB cushioning provides excellent support suitable for active play and light running.
Can the bungee laces be replaced?
The bungee laces are integrated into the design; replacing them may require professional adjustment or the use of third-party lace lock kits.
How do I ensure the correct fit?
Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between the big toe and the front of the shoe to accommodate growth.
Are the materials waterproof?
No, the shoes are made of mesh and synthetic materials which are breathable but not waterproof.
Are these trainers true to size?
Generally, New Balance trainers follow standard sizing, but it is recommended to check the specific size chart for UK children's sizing before purchase.
Troubleshooting
Bungee lace feels too loose or too tight
Check the tension toggle or knot inside the shoe (if applicable) to see if the bungee can be adjusted manually.
Surface dirt on mesh
Use a dry soft-bristled brush to gently lift dirt from the mesh weave before wiping with a damp cloth.
Difficulty putting the shoe on
Ensure the heel tab is pulled back fully to widen the ankle opening before sliding the foot inside.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these shoes utilize a bungee lace system, no complex setup is required; simply pull the tab to open the collar and slide the foot in. To ensure the longevity of the trainers, avoid machine washing; instead, spot clean the synthetic overlays and mesh using a soft brush or a damp cloth with mild soap. Allow the shoes to air dry away from direct heat sources to prevent damage to the adhesive and cushioning materials. Regularly check the outsole for debris and ensure the fit remains appropriate as the child's foot grows.
