FAQs

Are these shoes machine washable?

No, it is not recommended to machine wash suede trainers as it can ruin the material and shape of the shoe.

Does the 3.5 UK size fit standard European sizes?

Yes, a 3.5 UK size generally aligns with a 36 EU size, though it is always best to check the manufacturer's size chart for precision.

Can these be used for heavy athletic training?

While durable for daily activities, these are classified as lifestyle trainers rather than high-performance technical sports footwear.

Are they water-resistant?

Suede is naturally absorbent. While the rubber outsole helps with puddles, the upper is not waterproof.

What is the primary material used?

The upper is constructed primarily from suede to provide both a premium look and structural durability.

Is the insole removable?

Most New Balance 515 models feature a removable insole, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if required.

Troubleshooting

Laces constantly coming untied

Use a double-knot or consider replacing them with elasticated no-tie laces if the child struggles with traditional knots.

Suede looks dull or matted

Gently use a suede brush or a clean pencil eraser to lift the nap of the fabric and restore its texture.

Dirt stains on the suede

Apply a specialized suede cleaner foam, allow it to dry completely, then brush gently in one direction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your New Balance 515 trainers last, follow these care steps:

  1. Initial Protection: Use a suede-safe water and stain repellent spray before the first wear.
  2. Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to remove dried dirt or debris. Avoid soaking the shoes in water, as this can damage the suede texture.
  3. Maintenance: If the laces become frayed, replace them with standard 3.5 UK-sized compatible laces.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
  5. Fit Check: Ensure the 3.5 UK sizing allows for about a thumb's width of space at the toe for proper foot development.
