Are these trainers suitable for both boys and girls?
Yes, these trainers feature a unisex design, making them suitable for all children.
How do I clean the suede material of these trainers?
To clean the suede, use a soft-bristled suede brush to remove loose dirt. For tougher stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner. Avoid using water or harsh chemicals, and consider a suede protector spray for added resistance to dirt and moisture.
Are the New Balance 740 BUNGEE Trainers waterproof?
No, the suede material of these trainers is not waterproof. Exposure to heavy rain or puddles should be avoided to prevent damage and staining to the material.
Can these trainers be used for sports activities?
These trainers are ideal for everyday wear and general play, offering comfort and durability for active children. While they can handle light recreational activities, they are not specialized performance shoes for intense sports.
How do I ensure I choose the right size for my child?
It is best to measure your child's foot and compare it to the official New Balance sizing chart. Ensure there is adequate toe room (about a thumb's width) for comfort and growth.
Do these trainers come in other colours or materials?
The New Balance 740 BUNGEE series may come in various colour combinations and potentially different materials depending on the specific model variant. This particular model features a grey and green suede design.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or scuffed after play.
Use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently remove loose dirt. For deeper scuffs or stains, apply a specialized suede cleaner following its instructions. Avoid using water directly on the suede.
Trainers feel too tight or loose on my child's foot.
First, ensure you have the correct size by measuring your child's foot and comparing it to the New Balance size guide. If the size is correct, ensure socks are not too thick/thin. Adjusting how snugly the bungee system (or laces, if applicable) are fastened can also improve the fit.
My child's feet sweat excessively in the trainers.
While suede offers durability, it may be less breathable than mesh. Ensure your child wears moisture-wicking socks. You can also try using foot powder to absorb excess moisture. Allow trainers to air out completely between wears.
The trainers make a squeaking sound while walking.
Check for any trapped debris between the outsole and midsole. Ensure the insole is properly seated and dry. Sometimes, a light sprinkle of talcum powder under the insole can resolve friction-related squeaks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup
Setting up your New Balance 740 BUNGEE Trainers is straightforward. Simply ensure you have the correct size for your child's foot. These trainers are designed with a secure fit, so when putting them on, ensure the foot is seated comfortably inside, and the bungee system (if applicable to the exact model variant) or laces provide a snug, but not overly tight, fit. Check for adequate toe room to allow for growth and comfort.
Compatibility
These trainers are designed for kids (age group: kids) and are unisex, making them compatible with any child's wardrobe, regardless of gender. Their grey and green colour family allows for versatile pairing with various outfits, from casual play clothes to more structured ensembles. They are primarily designed for everyday wear and general play, rather than specialized sports like competitive running or specific court sports.
Care
Given the suede material, proper care is essential to maintain the appearance and longevity of your New Balance 740 BUNGEE Trainers.
- Spot Cleaning: For minor dirt and scuffs, use a soft-bristled suede brush. Gently brush in one direction to remove loose dirt and restore the nap.
- Stain Removal: For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner following the product's instructions. Avoid using water or harsh detergents, as these can damage suede.
- Water Protection: Suede is not waterproof. Consider applying a suede protector spray to help repel water and prevent stains. Reapply periodically as per product instructions.
- Drying: If trainers get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading or material degradation.
By following these care instructions, you can help extend the life of your child's New Balance 740 BUNGEE Trainers.
