FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for sports?
While designed for active play and everyday wear, these trainers are best suited for casual sports and playground activities rather than specialized competitive sports that require specific shoe types.
How do I choose the right size for my child?
It's best to measure your child's foot and compare it to the New Balance sizing chart. Ensure there's about a thumb's width of space between the longest toe and the end of the shoe for growth and comfort.
Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?
The Polyester material offers some resistance to light moisture, but these trainers are not waterproof. For heavy rain or very wet conditions, consider specialized waterproof footwear to keep feet dry.
What makes the BUNGEE style different?
The BUNGEE style replaces traditional laces with an elastic cord and toggle system, making them much easier for children to put on and take off independently, while still providing a secure and adjustable fit.
How often should I clean these trainers?
For optimal appearance and hygiene, it's recommended to wipe them down after every few wears or whenever visibly dirty. A deeper clean using mild soap can be done as needed, following the care instructions.
Is the insole removable?
Yes, the insoles in these New Balance 740 BUNGEE trainers are typically removable, which can be helpful for airing out the shoes or inserting custom orthotics if needed.
Troubleshooting
Trainers feel too loose or too tight.
Adjust the bungee lacing system. For a looser fit, gently pull on the bungee to expand; for a tighter fit, secure the toggle firmly. Ensure socks are of appropriate thickness for the best fit.
Trainers get dirty quickly.
Wipe with a damp cloth immediately after outdoor activities to prevent dirt from setting. For stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush. Consistent, gentle cleaning prolongs their appearance.
A squeaking sound occurs when walking.
Check if the insole is properly seated or if there's moisture inside the shoe. Remove the insole, dry the shoe interior, and reinsert it correctly. If the squeaking persists, it might be due to material friction and usually diminishes with wear.

Care
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your trainers:
- Daily Cleaning: After use, gently brush off loose dirt. Wipe the Polyester upper with a damp cloth to remove surface grime.
- Deep Cleaning: For tougher stains, use a solution of mild soap and water with a soft brush. Avoid harsh chemicals as they can damage the material or color.
- Drying: Always air dry your trainers away from direct sunlight or heat sources, as this can damage materials and cause shrinkage.
- Maintenance: Regularly check the soles for small stones or debris that could become embedded. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can compromise the shoe's structure and materials.
