What is ABZORB technology?

Are these shoes breathable?
Yes, the combination of synthetic materials and mesh in the upper is designed to provide good breathability, helping to keep feet comfortable.
Do these shoes offer good support for developing feet?
The New Balance 740 features a supportive lace closure and a cushioned ABZORB midsole designed for comfort and impact absorption during active play. For specific arch support or foot development concerns, it's always best to consult with a pediatrician or podiatrist.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
Ensure the lace closure is adjusted correctly. If still an issue, double-check the size; infant feet grow quickly, and sizing can vary. Consider having your child's foot measured professionally.
Foot discomfort after prolonged wear.
While ABZORB offers cushioning, ensure your child is wearing appropriate socks. Also, check if the shoes are tied too tightly. If discomfort persists, consult a pediatrician.
Shoes get dirty quickly.
This is common with active infant footwear. Clean regularly using a damp cloth and mild soap. For tougher dirt, a soft brush can be used on the sole.
Laces keep coming undone.
Ensure a double knot is used. You can also experiment with different lacing techniques that provide a more secure hold.
