Full details
The New Balance 740 Bungee Lace trainers are designed for active children, offering a blend of 2000s running-inspired style with modern comfort and an easy-to-use bungee lace system. Ideal for daily wear and light activity, these trainers provide a secure fit for little feet. A potential consideration is that the open-knit mesh, while breathable, may not offer significant water resistance.

FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?
The bungee lace system allows for some adjustability. However, if your child has significantly wide feet, it's recommended to try them on to ensure a comfortable fit.
Can these trainers be worn in the rain?
The open-knit mesh upper provides breathability but is not waterproof. They are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions. For heavy rain, waterproof footwear would be more appropriate.
How do I adjust the bungee laces?
To tighten, pull the laces upwards at the toggle. To loosen, press the toggle and slide it down. This allows for a custom fit.
What is the recommended age group for these trainers?
These trainers are specifically sized for children and are ideal for active kids who need a comfortable and easy-to-wear shoe for daily activities.
What material is the outsole made of?
The outsole is typically made of rubber, designed to provide good traction and durability for various surfaces.
How do I know if I've selected the correct size?
Ensure there is a little room at the toe (about a thumb's width) and that the heel does not slip when walking. Check the size guide provided by New Balance for specific measurements.
Troubleshooting
Bungee laces becoming loose during wear
Ensure the toggle is fully secured. If the laces continue to loosen, consider tying a small knot in the bungee cord itself for added security.
Shoes appear to be a tight fit
Verify the correct size has been selected. Ensure the bungee laces are loosened before putting the shoe on, then tighten for a snug fit. Check the internal measurements if possible.
Mesh material showing signs of wear
While designed for durability, excessive abrasion can wear down the mesh. Ensure your child is wearing the correct size to prevent excessive rubbing. Spot clean gently as needed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers come ready to wear. Ensure the bungee laces are adjusted to a comfortable and secure fit for your child's foot. The laces can be tightened or loosened by adjusting the toggle at the top.
Compatibility: Designed for children's feet, these trainers are suitable for a wide range of activities, from casual wear to light sports. They pair well with various children's clothing, including shorts, tracksuits, and casual trousers.
Care: To clean the trainers, use a damp cloth to wipe away dirt and debris from the upper and midsole.

Avoid machine washing or harsh chemicals, as this can damage the materials and construction.
