How often should I check my child's shoe size?

Children's feet grow rapidly, especially in their early years. It is recommended to check their shoe size every 2-3 months to ensure a proper and comfortable fit.

Troubleshooting

Shoes seem too tight or too loose.

Check your child's foot size against the shoe size. Ensure there's about a thumb's width of space between your child's longest toe and the end of the shoe. For width, ensure the foot isn't bulging over the sides. Children's feet grow quickly, so re-measure regularly.

Bungee laces feel too tight or loose.

While bungee laces are often fixed, ensure the shoe is fully opened when putting it on. If there's an adjustable toggle, ensure it's not overly tightened or left too loose. The bungee system should allow for easy entry but keep the shoe securely on the foot.

Shoes are getting dirty quickly.

This is normal for active children! Clean regularly using a damp cloth and mild soap. Consider using a shoe protector spray suitable for synthetic materials to help repel dirt and water.

Foot odour is present after wear.

Ensure your child wears clean socks. Allow the shoes to air out after each use. You can also sprinkle a small amount of baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odours, then tap it out in the morning.

My child is tripping or stumbling frequently.

Ensure the shoes fit properly and are securely fastened. Check the soles for excessive wear or foreign objects. If the issue persists, consult a pediatrician, as it may not be shoe-related.

Setup

Getting your child's New Balance 740 Trainers ready is straightforward:

  1. Unpack: Remove the trainers from their packaging.
  2. Inspect: Check for any loose threads or manufacturing imperfections.
  3. Adjust: The bungee lace system typically requires no adjustment for initial wear. Simply open the shoe wide enough for your child's foot.
  4. Fit: Slide your child's foot into the shoe, ensuring toes have enough room to wiggle (about a thumb's width from the end of the shoe).

  • Age Group: Infants/Toddlers.
  • Gender: Unisex, suitable for all children.
  • Activities: Ideal for everyday running, jumping, playing, and general casual wear.

Care Instructions

Proper care will help extend the life of your New Balance 740 Trainers:

  • Cleaning: For general cleaning, wipe the synthetic surfaces with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners. For tougher dirt, use a soft brush.
  • Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage materials.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
  • Odour Control: If odours develop, remove insoles (if removable) and air them out. You can also use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb smells.
