FAQs
What age group are these trainers suitable for?
These trainers are specifically designed for kids, featuring sizing and construction appropriate for younger wearers.
How do I know if I'm ordering the correct size?
It is recommended to measure your child's foot length and compare it with New Balance's sizing chart. Referencing the UK sizing provided (e.g., UK 3.5) is also helpful.
Are these trainers waterproof?
The trainers are not waterproof. They are made with mesh and synthetic materials that offer breathability but will allow water to pass through.
Can the insoles be removed?
Typically, the insoles in these models are removable, allowing for cleaning or the insertion of custom orthotics if needed.
What is the primary benefit of the ABZORB cushioning?
ABZORB cushioning provides excellent shock absorption, reducing impact on the feet and joints, which contributes to overall comfort during wear.
How do I clean the synthetic overlays?
Wipe the synthetic overlays with a damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a small amount of mild soap and water, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.
Is this shoe suitable for sports?
These trainers are designed for everyday wear and light activities. For rigorous sports, specialized athletic footwear is recommended.
Troubleshooting
Trainers feel too tight
Ensure the laces are loosened before putting them on. If still too tight, check if the size is correct; consider the next half size up if necessary.
Soles squeak when walking
This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch under the insole to absorb moisture, or check for debris trapped in the sole.
Mesh material appears dirty
Use a damp cloth and a mild soap solution to gently clean the mesh. Blot the area with clean water afterward and allow to air dry.
Stitching is coming undone
For minor loose threads, carefully trim them with scissors. If significant stitching is unraveling, contact customer support for warranty options.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers require no specific setup; they are ready to wear out of the box. They are compatible with most casual children's clothing and are suitable for everyday wear. To care for your New Balance 1000 trainers:
- Cleaning: For minor dirt, use a soft brush or a damp cloth to wipe down the mesh and synthetic overlays. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: If the trainers become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators, as this can damage the materials.
- Insoles: If removable, the insoles can be taken out for separate cleaning or airing.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use to maintain their shape and condition.
