FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for sports?

These trainers are designed for general everyday wear and light athletic activities. For specialized sports, dedicated athletic footwear might be more appropriate.

How do I ensure I pick the correct size?

Refer to the UK children's sizing guide provided by New Balance. It is recommended to measure your child's foot from heel to toe and compare it to the size chart. Ensure there is a thumb's width of space between the longest toe and the end of the shoe.

Can the bungee laces be removed or adjusted?

The bungee laces are integrated for ease of use and are not designed to be removed or significantly adjusted. They provide a snug fit without traditional knot-tying.

What is the primary material of these trainers?

The primary material for the upper of these specific trainers is leather.

Are these trainers machine washable?

No, these trainers are not machine washable. Cleaning should be done by hand using a damp cloth or mild soap solution as per the care instructions.

What does the '740 series' indicate?

The '740 series' refers to a specific model line within the New Balance footwear collection, known for its classic design and comfort.

Is this a unisex model?

Yes, these trainers are designed as a unisex model, suitable for both boys and girls.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty getting foot into the trainer

Ensure the bungee laces are loosened as much as possible before inserting the foot. Gently guide the foot in.

Trainer appears too tight

Confirm that the correct UK size has been purchased. Children's feet grow quickly, so re-measure if unsure. The bungee system offers limited adjustability.

Leather shows scuffs or marks

Use a leather cleaner or a damp cloth to gently wipe away minor marks. For stubborn scuffs, a specific leather repair product may be considered.
