FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for sports activities?

While comfortable for active play and general use, these New Balance 740 BUNGEE Trainers are primarily designed as everyday casual footwear. For specific high-performance sports, dedicated athletic shoes with specialized support and features might be more appropriate.

How do I properly clean the suede material?

For the suede upper, gently brush off loose dirt with a soft suede brush. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow its instructions carefully. Avoid using water directly on suede. Always allow the trainers to air dry naturally, away from direct heat.

Are these trainers waterproof?

No, the suede upper is not inherently waterproof. We recommend avoiding heavy rain or very wet conditions to protect the material. For some water resistance, you can apply a suede protector spray.

What does 'BUNGEE' refer to in the product name?

The 'BUNGEE' in the name typically indicates an elasticated lacing system. This design is often used for easy on-and-off, making the trainers convenient for children who may not be able to tie traditional laces or for those who need a quicker way to get ready. Info needed: [Specific details of the bungee mechanism, e.g., fixed elastic, adjustable toggle].

What age group are these trainers intended for?

These New Balance 740 BUNGEE Trainers are specifically designed and sized for kids, making them a great choice for young wearers across various children's age ranges.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

No, machine washing is strongly not recommended for these trainers. It can damage the suede, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe, potentially voiding any product guarantees. Always clean them by hand as described in the care section.

Do these trainers run true to size?

New Balance trainers generally run true to size. However, for the best fit, we always recommend measuring your child's foot and comparing it to the New Balance size chart, as individual foot sizes can vary.

Troubleshooting

Trainers feel too tight or too loose.

First, confirm that you have the correct size for your child by checking against a New Balance size chart. For shoes with an adjustable bungee closure, adjust the tension to ensure a snug yet comfortable fit. If it's a fixed bungee, ensure the child is wearing appropriate socks.

Suede appears dirty or scuffed after play.

Use a dedicated suede brush to gently lift dirt and restore the nap. For more stubborn marks, apply a specialized suede cleaner sparingly as per the product's instructions. Always allow the area to dry completely before re-brushing.

Foot discomfort or rubbing.

Check that the trainers are not too small or too large. Ensure socks are worn and are not bunched up. Inspect the inside of the shoe for any foreign objects or rough seams. If discomfort persists, consult a healthcare professional.

The 'BUNGEE' closure seems difficult to use or adjust.

Familiarize yourself with the specific bungee mechanism. If it has a toggle, practice sliding it to loosen or tighten. If it's a fixed elastic, ensure your child's foot slides in smoothly without excessive force. Info needed: [Clarify specific bungee mechanism details]

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Getting your New Balance 740 BUNGEE Trainers ready for wear is straightforward. Simply slide your child's foot into the trainer. If the 'BUNGEE' system includes an adjustable toggle, ensure it's tightened enough to provide a secure, comfortable fit without being too restrictive. If it's a fixed elasticated system, it should stretch to accommodate the foot easily. Info needed: [Confirm exact bungee mechanism]

Compatibility

These trainers are designed for kids in various children's UK sizes. Their unisex design makes them suitable for all children. They are ideal for everyday wear, including school, casual play, and family outings. While comfortable and durable, they are not specialized athletic footwear for specific sports.

Care

Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your trainers:

  • Cleaning Suede: Gently brush off loose dirt and dust with a soft-bristled suede brush. For tougher marks or stains, use a specialized suede cleaner according to its instructions. Avoid using water directly on suede, as it can cause staining or damage.
  • Drying: Always allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources (like radiators or in direct sunlight) as this can dry out and crack the suede.
  • Protection: Consider applying a suede protector spray before first wear and periodically thereafter to help repel water and stains.
  • Avoid Machine Washing: Never machine wash these trainers, as it can severely damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure.
