FAQs
What age group are these trainers designed for?
These trainers are designed for kids, specifically in a UK size 12.
How do I clean the bungee laces?
You can wipe the bungee laces with a damp cloth. For a deeper clean, hand wash them with mild soap and allow them to air dry completely before re-tying.
Are these shoes suitable for sports?
The New Balance 740 trainers are excellent for everyday wear and light activities. For specialized high-impact sports, dedicated athletic footwear might be more appropriate.
Can the bungee laces be replaced?
Yes, the bungee laces can be removed and replaced if they become damaged or worn out. You can purchase compatible bungee laces separately.
What is the material of the upper?
The upper is primarily made of an open knit mesh, which provides breathability and comfort.
How do I adjust the fit of the bungee laces?
You can adjust the fit by untying the knot at the top of the laces, sliding the lace through the eyelets to tighten or loosen, and then re-tying the knot securely.
Are these trainers waterproof?
These trainers are not waterproof. The mesh upper is designed for breathability, which means they are not suitable for wet conditions.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too loose or too tight.
Adjust the knot on the bungee lace system. Untie the top knot, slide the laces to achieve the desired snugness, and re-tie the knot securely.
Difficulty putting the shoe on.
Ensure the laces are loosened sufficiently before inserting the foot. The bungee system is designed for ease, but sometimes requires a good loosening first.
Mesh upper appears dirty.
Gently wipe the mesh with a damp cloth. For more persistent dirt, use a soft brush with a mild soap and water solution, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.
Fading color.
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when not in use, as this can cause colors to fade over time. Store in a cool, dry place.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:

Compatibility:
These trainers are designed for children's feet and are suitable for most everyday activities. They are compatible with casual wear, school uniforms, and athletic shorts or trousers. The grey and yellow colorway makes them a versatile choice.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust from the mesh and overlay materials. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly.
- Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Use a damp cloth or an old toothbrush to scrub away dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
- Laces: The bungee laces can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. If they become significantly soiled, they can be removed and washed by hand with mild soap, then allowed to air dry completely before re-tying.
