FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for new walkers?
Yes, the New Balance 740 Bungee Lace shoes are designed to provide comfort and support for infants, including those who are just learning to walk, crawl, or cruise. They offer a stable base for early mobility.
How do I determine the correct size for my infant?
It is recommended to measure your infant's foot length and compare it to the New Balance infant sizing chart. Infant feet grow rapidly, so regular measurements are important. The UK size 8 is for a specific foot length.
Can the bungee laces be adjusted or replaced?
The bungee laces are integrated into the design for ease of use and are generally not designed for adjustment or replacement by the user. They provide a fixed, comfortable stretch.
What is the best way to clean these shoes?
For best results, spot clean the synthetic upper with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using a washing machine, as this can damage the materials. Air dry completely.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The synthetic material offers some resistance to light moisture, but these shoes are not fully waterproof. We recommend avoiding prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions to maintain their condition and comfort.
Are these shoes good for wide feet?
New Balance generally offers a standard width for infant shoes. If your infant has particularly wide feet, it's advisable to try them on to ensure a comfortable fit, as the bungee laces offer limited custom adjustability.
Troubleshooting
Shoes are difficult to put on or seem too tight.
Ensure the bungee laces are fully expanded and the tongue is pulled forward. Check your infant's foot measurement against New Balance sizing guides, as infants grow quickly. Ensure socks aren't too thick.
Infant frequently kicks shoes off.
While bungee laces offer a secure fit, active infants can sometimes remove shoes. Double-check the fit to ensure it's snug but not restrictive. Consider lighter socks or adjusting activity type if possible.
Shoes appear dirty quickly.
This is common with infant footwear. Regularly spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Consider using a protective spray designed for synthetic materials (Info needed: specific product recommendations).
My infant seems uncomfortable in the shoes.
Immediately remove the shoes and inspect your infant's feet for red marks or pressure points. Re-evaluate the size and fit, and ensure there are no creases in socks or debris inside the shoe.
