FAQs
What age group are these trainers designed for?
These New Balance 740 BUNGEE trainers are specifically designed and sized for kids.
Are these trainers suitable for playing sports?
While durable for active play and general recreation, these trainers are primarily designed for casual, everyday wear and comfort, not specialized sports performance like competitive running or specific court sports.
How do I determine the correct size for my child?
It is best to measure your child's foot length and width and compare it to New Balance's official sizing chart. For the best fit, ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your child's longest toe and the end of the shoe. This specific variant is UK child size 5.5.
Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?
The synthetic and mesh upper provides some level of protection against light moisture, but these trainers are not fully waterproof. For heavy rain or very wet conditions, consider footwear specifically designed for those environments.
What is ABZORB cushioning?
ABZORB is a proprietary New Balance foam technology that provides exceptional shock absorption and cushioning. It helps to reduce impact forces during activity, contributing to a smoother and more comfortable experience for the wearer.
What are the main materials used in the upper of these trainers?
The upper of the New Balance 740 BUNGEE Trainers is constructed from a combination of synthetic materials and mesh, offering a balance of durability, support, and breathability.
How often should I clean my child's trainers?
For best results and to prolong their lifespan and appearance, it's recommended to clean the trainers as needed, especially after heavy use or when visible dirt accumulates. Regular light cleaning is generally more effective than infrequent, deep cleaning.
Troubleshooting
Trainer feels too tight or too loose
Check for correct sizing by trying on with socks. Ensure laces are adjusted properly, not too tight to restrict circulation nor too loose to cause slipping. Remember that children's feet grow quickly, so re-measure periodically to ensure continued proper fit.
Trainers look dirty quickly, especially the mesh sections
Regularly brush off loose dirt and dust after each wear. For stubborn marks or ingrained dirt on the synthetic and mesh upper, use a mild soap and water solution with a soft cloth or sponge for spot cleaning. Avoid harsh chemicals as they can damage the material. Always air dry.
A squeaking sound comes from the shoe while walking
Check if the insole is properly seated inside the shoe or if it needs to be removed and reinserted. Sometimes, loose insoles can create friction and cause a squeaking sound against the shoe's interior. For new shoes, some minor squeaking can occur as materials settle.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting started with the New Balance 740 BUNGEE Trainers is as simple as lacing them up. Ensure the fit is snug but comfortable, with enough room for toes to wiggle slightly, and that the heel doesn't slip. These trainers are designed for everyday casual wear and are highly compatible with a wide range of children's clothing, from athletic shorts and t-shirts to jeans and hoodies. They are perfect for school, playdates, and general recreational activities.
For care and maintenance, the synthetic and mesh uppers are relatively easy to clean. Regular care will help extend the lifespan and maintain the appearance of your child's trainers.
- Remove loose dirt: Gently brush off any dry mud or dirt with a soft brush.
- Spot clean: Mix a small amount of mild detergent with cold water. Dip a soft cloth or sponge into the solution and gently rub soiled areas.
- Rinse: Use a clean, damp cloth to wipe away any soap residue.
- Air dry: Allow the trainers to air dry completely at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources, which can damage materials.
- Avoid machine washing: Machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the shoe's structure and materials.
The rubber soles can be wiped clean with a damp cloth to maintain traction.
