FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running sports?

The New Balance 740 Bungee Lace Trainers are inspired by running shoes and offer good support for everyday activities and light play. For high-impact or competitive running, a more specialized athletic shoe might be recommended.

How do I adjust the bungee laces?

The bungee laces are designed for a secure, slip-on fit. To tighten, pull the laces. To loosen, you may need to find a toggle or adjust the knot mechanism, depending on the specific design. They are intended to be easy for children to manage.

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is primarily made of an open knit mesh, which provides breathability and flexibility.

What is the main benefit of the bungee lace system?

Are there other color options available?

What is the intended age group for these trainers?

Troubleshooting

Child finds shoes difficult to put on.

Loosen the bungee laces as much as possible before the child inserts their foot. Ensure the tongue is pulled forward.

Shoes appear to be too tight or too loose.

Adjust the tension of the bungee laces. Tighten them for a more secure fit or loosen them for more room. Ensure the correct size is selected.

Mesh upper looks dirty.

Gently wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn marks, use a soft brush with a cleaning solution and rinse carefully.

Bungee lace appears worn.

Inspect the bungee lace for signs of fraying or stretching. If significantly worn, consider if replacement is possible or if new footwear is needed.
