FAQs
Are these trainers true to size?
New Balance toddler sizing generally aligns with standard UK children's sizes. However, foot shapes vary, so it's always best to measure your toddler's foot and refer to New Balance's official sizing chart if available. Regular foot measurement is recommended as toddlers grow quickly.
Can these trainers be machine washed?
No, it is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Machine washing can damage the materials, cushioning, and adhesives. Please follow the spot cleaning and air drying instructions provided in the care section.
Are the elastic laces adjustable?
The elastic laces provide flexibility and stretch for easy on and off, and a comfortable fit. They are not designed for traditional tightening or loosening like standard tied laces, but rather adapt to the foot's width.
What is Abzorb cushioning?
Abzorb is a proprietary New Balance foam blend that offers superior cushioning and compression resistance. In these toddler trainers, it means enhanced shock absorption and comfort for active little feet during play and movement.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
While the elastic laces offer some flexibility, the New Balance 740 is typically a standard fit. If your toddler has particularly wide feet, it's advisable to try them on or consult a New Balance size guide for width recommendations. > Info needed: Specific width options if available for this model.
How often should I check my toddler's shoe size?
Toddlers' feet can grow rapidly. It's generally recommended to check their shoe size every 2-4 months to ensure they always have a comfortable and properly fitting shoe to support healthy foot development.
Troubleshooting
Trainers feel too tight or too loose.
Check your toddler's foot size regularly, as they grow quickly. Ensure socks are not too thick or thin. While elastic laces provide some give, if the fit is consistently off, a different size may be needed.
Toddler complains of discomfort.
Inspect the inside of the shoe for any foreign objects, bunched-up socks, or rough seams. Ensure the Abzorb cushioning is properly seated. If discomfort persists, consider checking for proper sizing.
Trainers appear worn out quickly.
Toddlers are very active, leading to faster wear. Ensure the trainers are primarily used for their intended purpose. Proper cleaning and maintenance can extend their lifespan, but heavy use will naturally lead to wear.
Difficulty getting trainers on/off.
Ensure the tongue is pulled forward as much as possible to maximize the opening. A shoehorn (for larger toddler sizes) can sometimes assist. Practice makes perfect for both parent and toddler.

Care Instructions
Proper care will help maintain the appearance and longevity of the trainers:
- Spot Cleaning: For minor dirt and scuffs, use a soft, damp cloth and a mild soap (like dish soap) to gently rub the affected areas. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Mud & Dirt: Allow caked-on mud to dry, then gently brush it off with a soft brush (like an old toothbrush).
- Inner Cleaning: If needed, the insoles can often be removed and hand-washed with mild soap and water. Allow to air dry completely before reinserting.
- Drying: Always air dry trainers away from direct heat sources (like radiators or direct sunlight) to prevent material damage or shrinking.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
