FAQs
What age range is UK size 2 typically suitable for?
UK size 2 in children's footwear typically corresponds to children aged approximately 7-8 years old, though this can vary significantly. Always measure your child's foot for the most accurate fit.
Are these trainers suitable for all types of sports?
These New Balance 740 BUNGEE trainers are excellent for general active play, walking, and everyday wear. They are not specifically designed for high-performance sports like competitive running or football, which may require specialized footwear for optimal support and protection.
How do I clean the synthetic material?
Wipe down the trainers with a damp cloth and mild soap for most dirt. For tougher stains, a soft brush can be used with a mild detergent solution. Always air dry away from direct heat.
Are these trainers waterproof?
While the synthetic material offers some resistance to light moisture, these trainers are not fully waterproof. They are suitable for dry conditions and light splashes, but not heavy rain or puddles.
What is the 'BUNGEE' feature?
The 'BUNGEE' in the name typically refers to a bungee-style lacing system or an elasticated element that aids in easy on-and-off and provides a secure, yet flexible, fit for children, reducing the need for traditional tying.
Troubleshooting
Trainers feel too tight or loose.
Ensure your child is wearing appropriate socks. Verify the size is correct for their current foot measurement. Children's feet grow quickly, so regular measurement is recommended.
Trainers get dirty quickly.
The synthetic material is easy to clean. Use a damp cloth with mild soap for immediate spot cleaning after active play to prevent dirt build-up.
Discomfort or rubbing during wear.
Check if the laces are tied correctly – not too tight or too loose. Ensure socks are smooth and not bunched up. Allow a short 'break-in' period for new shoes.
Soles seem to be losing grip.
Inspect the treads for excessive wear or embedded debris. Clean the soles regularly to remove mud or small stones that might affect traction.

Care Instructions
To keep your New Balance 740 BUNGEE trainers looking great and lasting longer, follow these care tips:
- Spot Cleaning: For minor dirt, wipe the synthetic upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Deep Cleaning: For heavier soiling, you can gently scrub the surface with a soft brush and a mixture of water and mild detergent. Do not submerge the entire shoe in water.
- Drying: Allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as these can damage the synthetic materials.
- Odour Control: If needed, sprinkle a small amount of baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odours, then tap it out in the morning.
- Storage: Store trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
