FAQs
What does 'ABZORB midsole cushioning' mean?
ABZORB is a New Balance proprietary foam technology that provides superior cushioning and compression resistance. It helps absorb impact forces, reducing stress on the feet and joints for a more comfortable experience.
Are these trainers suitable for playing sports?
While the New Balance 740 BUNGEE Trainers offer comfort and support for active wear, they are primarily designed for casual use, afterschool activities, and general play. For specialized sports, New Balance offers specific athletic footwear designed for particular performance needs.
How do I clean the metallic cage overlay?
Gently wipe the metallic cage with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or brushes, as these could potentially scratch or damage the finish. Mild soap can be used if needed, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth to remove any residue.
What is the recommended age group for these trainers?
These trainers are designed for 'kids' or 'youngsters,' making them suitable for children who fit the size range, including this size 5 model. They cater to the active and style-conscious youth market.
Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?
The New Balance 740 BUNGEE Trainers feature a breathable mesh upper, which is not designed to be waterproof. While they can handle light splashes, prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions is not recommended, as water can penetrate the mesh and impact comfort.
Do these trainers have traditional laces?
The 'BUNGEE' in the product name typically indicates an elasticated or bungee-cord style closure system rather than traditional tie laces. This design often allows for easy on-and-off wear, which is convenient for children (Info needed: Specific details of the bungee closure for definitive answer).
Troubleshooting
Trainers feel too tight or loose.
First, ensure the correct size was purchased. For future reference, measure your child's foot accurately. If the 'BUNGEE' feature allows for adjustment (Info needed: confirm if bungee is adjustable), make necessary modifications for a secure yet comfortable fit. Otherwise, consider thicker or thinner socks to improve fit.
Foot odor is developing.
After each wear, allow the trainers to air out completely. Ensure your child wears clean, moisture-wicking socks. If possible (Info needed: confirm if insoles are removable), remove the insoles periodically to clean or replace them. Using shoe deodorizers or sachets can also help.
Trainers appear dirty or scuffed after light wear.
Regularly wipe down the synthetic and mesh uppers with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a small amount of mild soap. Gently clean the metallic cage with a soft cloth to maintain its finish. Avoid dragging feet or engaging in activities that cause excessive friction or contact with rough surfaces.
