Getting Started
- Unboxing: Remove trainers from packaging.

- Fit Check: Ensure there's a small space (about a thumb's width) between the longest toe and the end of the shoe for growth and comfort.

- Age Group: Kids and juniors.

Product Care & Maintenance
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your New Balance 530 Junior Trainers. Adhere strictly to the 'Wipe Clean' instructions.
- Daily Wipe Down: After each use, especially if dirty, gently wipe the upper and sole with a soft, *damp cloth* to remove surface dirt and dust.
- Stubborn Marks: For more persistent stains, use a mild soap solution mixed with water on a soft cloth. Gently rub the affected area, then wipe clean with a separate damp cloth to remove any soap residue.
- Drying: Allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation and color fading.
- Avoid Submersion: Do NOT machine wash, tumble dry, or immerse the trainers in water, as this can damage the ABZORB cushioning and layered upper materials.
- Avoid Harsh Cleaners: Do not use harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or stiff brushes, which can damage the synthetic and mesh surfaces.
