Troubleshooting
Bungee laces feel too tight or loose
While the bungee is fixed, you can adjust the tension by re-threading the lace through the eyelets or ensuring the tongue is centered properly on the foot.
Surface scuffs on faux leather
Gently clean with a mild soap solution and a soft brush; avoid harsh chemicals that could degrade the synthetic surface.
Difficulty getting the shoe on
Ensure the heel tab is fully utilized to pull the back of the shoe open while inserting the foot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these shoes utilize a bungee lace system, no setup or tension adjustment is usually required upon unboxing. To ensure the longest life for your New Balance 1000s, wipe the faux leather overlays with a damp cloth after outdoor use to prevent dirt buildup. Avoid soaking the shoes in water, as this can affect the integrity of the adhesive and materials. For internal freshness, periodically remove the footbed and air out the shoes in a dry, shaded area away from direct heat sources. When sizing, ensure there is roughly a thumb-width of space at the front to accommodate natural foot growth.
