FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for sports?
The New Balance 740 BUNGEE trainers are designed for general active wear and casual use, providing excellent comfort and support for everyday activities like playing and walking. While they offer good cushioning, for specialized sports, dedicated sports-specific footwear might provide more targeted support and features.
How do I choose the correct size for my child?
It's best to measure your child's foot length and compare it to New Balance's official size chart. Remember to leave a small amount of space (about a thumb's width) at the toe for growth and comfort. Children's feet grow quickly, so regular measurement is recommended.
Can these trainers be machine washed?
No, it is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Machine washing can damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe. Please follow the spot cleaning and hand-washing instructions provided in the 'Care Instructions' section.
What materials are used in the New Balance 740 BUNGEE trainers?
The upper is constructed from a combination of synthetic and mesh, featuring a metallic cage overlay. The sole is made of durable rubber, and the midsole uses New Balance's ABZORB cushioning technology.
Are these shoes suitable for all weather conditions?
These trainers feature a breathable mesh upper, which is excellent for ventilation in dry conditions. They are not waterproof. For wet weather, their breathability would mean feet might get wet, so they are best suited for dry conditions. Info needed: [Specific water resistance rating, if any]
Do these trainers have good arch support?
The New Balance 740 BUNGEE trainers incorporate the ABZORB midsole for general cushioning and support, which contributes to overall foot comfort. For specific arch support needs, especially for children with particular foot conditions, consulting a pediatrician or specialist for custom orthotics might be advised.
Troubleshooting
Trainers feel uncomfortable or rub.
Ensure you have the correct size. Check if socks are bunched up. Break in new shoes by wearing them for short periods initially. Re-tie laces or adjust the bungee system for a better fit.
Shoes get dirty quickly and stains are visible.
Spot clean regularly after use with a damp cloth and mild soap. For tougher stains, use a dedicated shoe cleaner suitable for synthetic and mesh materials. Consider applying a stain and water repellent spray designed for footwear.
Squeaking sound when walking.
This can sometimes be caused by the insole rubbing against the inside of the shoe. Try removing the insole and sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or baking soda inside the shoe, then reinserting the insole. If it's a sole issue, check for trapped debris.
Foot odor develops after wear.
Allow shoes to air out thoroughly between wears. Remove insoles if possible and let them dry separately. Use odor-absorbing inserts or a shoe deodorizer spray. Ensure your child wears clean, moisture-wicking socks.

Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your trainers:
- Spot Cleaning: For minor dirt, use a soft brush or damp cloth with mild soap. Gently scrub the affected areas.
- Deep Cleaning (Uppers):
- Remove laces.
- Mix a small amount of mild detergent with cold water.
- Using a soft brush or cloth, gently clean the mesh and synthetic surfaces. Avoid harsh scrubbing.
- Rinse with a clean, damp cloth to remove soap residue.
- Sole Cleaning: Use a brush (an old toothbrush works well) to remove dirt and debris from the rubber sole.
- Drying: Air dry at room temperature. Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage materials and adhesives. Avoid direct sunlight or heat sources.
- Odor Control: If odors develop, remove insoles (if removable) and air them out. A sprinkle of baking soda inside the shoes overnight can help absorb odors.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
