FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
We recommend spot cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap to preserve the shape and materials of the trainer.
Do the bungee laces need to be tied?
No, the bungee laces are pre-secured and designed to provide a snug fit without needing to be tied.
Are these trainers true to size?
Most users find that these fit standard UK children's sizing, but it is always best to check the size guide provided for the specific New Balance series.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The standard construction fits most feet, but the bungee system does not allow for the same width adjustment as traditional eyelet laces.
Can I use these for organized sports?
These are ideal for casual play and daily school use, but they are not specialized performance shoes for competitive sports like soccer or basketball.
Troubleshooting
Bungee lace tension feels too loose.
Check the lace locks for debris; if the fit is consistently too loose, the laces may need to be replaced with generic elastic cord.
Shoes are difficult to put on.
Ensure the heel tab is pulled fully back and the foot is angled correctly before inserting the heel into the shoe.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these trainers use a bungee lace system, there is no 'setup' required—simply slide them on and go. To ensure compatibility, verify the UK size of your child's feet before purchasing, as New Balance sizing can differ slightly from casual footwear. For care, keep the white finish looking fresh by using a soft-bristled brush to remove dry mud after each use. Avoid machine washing, as it can compromise the structural integrity of the upper and the tension of the bungee laces. Instead, use a gentle sneaker cleaner and a damp cloth to spot-clean any specific areas that have become discolored.
