Full details

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for machine washing?
It is generally recommended to clean these shoes by hand with a damp cloth to protect the materials and the bungee lace integrity.
Do these shoes come in other colours?
Yes, the 740 series is available in several colour combinations including White/Grey variations.
Are the bungee laces adjustable?
The bungee laces are designed for a convenient, set-and-forget fit and are not designed to be tightened like traditional shoelaces.
Are these trainers waterproof?
These shoes are not waterproof and are intended for general casual and active wear.
Can I replace the bungee laces with standard laces?
The eyelets are specifically configured for the bungee system; converting to standard laces may not provide the intended fit or aesthetic.
Are these shoes true to size?
New Balance trainers generally follow standard sizing, but it is recommended to check the specific UK size 4.5 measurement against a child's current foot size.
Troubleshooting
Bungee laces feeling too loose or tight
While the laces are fixed, the tension can sometimes be adjusted slightly by re-threading the ends if the design allows, otherwise ensure the foot is positioned fully back into the heel counter.
Shoes becoming difficult to slide on
Ensure the heel tab is pulled outward while inserting the foot to prevent the heel cup from collapsing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these trainers feature bungee laces, there is no assembly required; simply slide the foot in and the shoe secures itself. To maintain the appearance of the white and blue exterior, wipe the surface regularly with a damp cloth or soft brush to remove dust and dirt. Avoid fully submerging the shoes in water or using harsh detergents, which can compromise the structural integrity of the materials. When not in use, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the colour vibrancy.
