FAQs

What does ABZORB midsole cushioning do?

ABZORB midsole cushioning is New Balance's proprietary foam material that provides superior shock absorption. It helps to cushion impacts, reducing stress on your child's feet and joints, offering maximum comfort during various activities.

Are these trainers suitable for sports like football or basketball?

The New Balance 740 BUNGEE trainers are designed for general active wear and casual use. While they offer good comfort and support for light play, they are not specialized sports shoes for high-impact activities like competitive football or basketball, which require specific athletic features like enhanced traction and ankle support.

How do I clean my child's New Balance 740 BUNGEE trainers?

It's best to spot clean these trainers. Use a soft cloth or brush with mild soap and cold water to gently scrub dirty areas, especially the mesh and rubber sole. Allow them to air dry completely. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.

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

The 'BUNGEE' in the New Balance 740 BUNGEE series name refers to the specific collection or styling details of this shoe model, often implying a contemporary and adaptable design. It does not necessarily indicate a bungee-cord closure system; the description specifies a 'traditional low-top silhouette' which typically features standard laces.

Are these shoes true to size for children?

New Balance generally aims for consistent sizing. However, children's feet grow quickly and can vary. We recommend measuring your child's foot and consulting the New Balance size chart. If possible, try them on to ensure a comfortable fit with a little room for growth, especially at the toe.

What materials are these trainers made from?

The uppers are made from a combination of synthetic materials and breathable mesh, complemented by a metallic cage overlay. The soles are constructed from durable rubber, providing good grip and longevity.

Can adults wear the New Balance 740 BUNGEE trainers?

These particular New Balance 740 BUNGEE trainers are specifically designed and sized for kids. While they may share aesthetic similarities with adult models, the construction and sizing are tailored for children's feet. They are available in children's UK sizes, such as Size: 4.

Troubleshooting

My child complains the shoes are uncomfortable or too tight.

First, ensure the correct size has been purchased. Check if the socks your child is wearing are too thick or bunched up. Loosen the laces to allow more room. If discomfort persists, consider getting their foot measured again to verify sizing.

The shoes look dirty quickly, especially the mesh.

Regular gentle cleaning is key. Use a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) with mild soap and cold water to gently scrub the mesh. Avoid harsh chemicals. For stubborn dirt, a specialized shoe cleaner for athletic shoes can be used sparingly.

The ABZORB cushioning doesn't feel as supportive over time.

Over extended use, cushioning can compress. Ensure the shoes are being cared for properly and not exposed to extreme conditions. If the shoes are heavily worn and past their typical lifespan for an active child, it might be time for a new pair to maintain optimal comfort and support.

The metallic cage overlay seems to be peeling or scratched.

While durable, sharp impacts or excessive abrasion can damage the metallic finish. For minor scuffs, a gentle polish designed for synthetic materials might help, but often deeper damage is permanent. Supervise play on rough surfaces to minimize wear. > Info needed: [warranty information for cosmetic damage]

Care Instructions

To ensure the longevity and appearance of your New Balance 740 BUNGEE trainers:

  1. Spot Cleaning: For minor dirt and scuffs, use a soft cloth or brush dampened with mild soap and cold water. Gently scrub the affected areas.
  2. Mesh Areas: Use a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) to clean the mesh, being careful not to damage the fibers.
  3. Metallic Cage: Wipe gently with a damp cloth.
  4. Soles: Clean rubber soles with a brush and soapy water to remove mud and debris.
  5. Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage materials.
