FAQs
What age group are these trainers for?
These trainers are designed for kids, specifically in junior sizing.
What makes the cushioning special?
They feature ABZORB technology in the midsole, which provides excellent shock absorption and cushioning for comfort.
Are these shoes suitable for all types of sports?
The 740 Junior Trainers are best suited for everyday wear and light athletic activities. For specialized sports requiring advanced support, other models might be more appropriate.
How do I find the right size?
Refer to the New Balance sizing chart and measure your child's foot carefully. These are listed in UK children's sizes.
What materials are the trainers made from?
The upper typically features engineered mesh with synthetic overlays for structure. The midsole is foam with ABZORB, and the outsole is rubber.
Can these trainers be washed in a machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Cleaning with a damp cloth is the preferred method to maintain their structure and materials.
What is the main benefit of the design?
The design is inspired by classic 2000s running shoes, offering a blend of style and comfort with modern features like ABZORB cushioning and breathable mesh.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure the correct UK size was selected. Check lacing is not overly tightened. Allow a short break-in period if the shoes are new.
Reduced cushioning effectiveness
The ABZORB technology is designed for long-term durability, but if significant compression is felt, it may indicate extensive wear. Check for any visible damage to the midsole.
Slipping on smooth surfaces
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean from dirt or debris that could affect traction. For very slick surfaces, caution is still advised.
Upper material seems worn
Clean gently with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive scrubbing. For synthetic overlays, check for loose stitching and reinforce if necessary.
