FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for machine washing?
It is recommended to hand-clean these trainers with a damp cloth to protect the materials and bungee lace mechanism.
Can I replace the bungee laces with regular laces?
No, the bungee lacing system is integrated into the design and is not intended to be swapped for traditional laces.
Are these shoes true to size?
New Balance typically follows standard sizing, but it is always recommended to use a foot measuring tool to ensure the best fit for growing children.
Can these be used for sports like soccer or basketball?
These trainers are designed for everyday casual wear and light play; they do not offer the specific ankle support or traction required for competitive court or field sports.
Is the material breathable?
Yes, the materials used in the 740 series are chosen for comfort and breathability during daily activities.
Troubleshooting
Bungee laces feel too tight or loose
Ensure the child's foot is positioned correctly in the heel cup; since the laces are fixed, ensure the size corresponds to the current foot length for a proper fit.
Surface stains on the upper material
Use a mild soap solution and a soft cloth to gently spot-clean the affected area rather than scrubbing vigorously.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these shoes utilize a bungee lace system, there is no setup required; simply have the child slide their foot into the shoe. To ensure longevity, keep the shoes clean by wiping them with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid submerging them in a washing machine, as high-heat drying or agitation can compromise the materials and the elasticity of the bungee laces. If the shoes get wet, air dry them naturally at room temperature away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent damage to the synthetic fabrics.
