FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for a child with wide feet?
The 740 trainers are designed with a standard fit. While the bungee laces allow for some adjustability, they may not be ideal for children requiring a distinctly wide-fit shoe.
How do I clean the mesh material?
Gently clean the mesh with a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh scrubbing or soaking the shoes.
Can the bungee laces be replaced?
While designed for durability, if the bungee laces do wear out, they can typically be replaced with standard shoelaces or new bungee cords designed for footwear.
What is the main advantage of the bungee lace system?
The primary advantage is the ease of use for children, allowing them to put on and take off their shoes quickly and independently, while still providing a secure fit.
Are these trainers waterproof?
These trainers feature an open knit mesh upper, which offers breathability but is not waterproof. They are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions.
What age group are these trainers best suited for?
These trainers are designed for kids, particularly those who benefit from easy-to-use closures and a comfortable, stylish shoe for daily activities.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty adjusting bungee laces
Gently pull on the ends of the laces and slide the toggle. If it's very stiff, try wiggling it slightly while pulling.
Shoes appear dirty after minimal wear
Wipe down with a damp cloth after each use to prevent dirt from setting in. Focus on the mesh and overlays.
Inconsistent fit
Ensure the bungee laces are tightened evenly on both sides and that the toggle is secured. Try adjusting the lace length if possible.
