FAQs

What age group are these New Balance 740 Trainers for?

These trainers are specifically designed and sized for infants.

How do the elastic laces work?

The elastic laces are designed to stretch, allowing for easy slipping on and off the foot without needing to tie traditional laces. They provide a secure yet flexible fit.

Are these trainers suitable for daily wear and active play?

Yes, with their Abzorb cushioning and durable construction, they are ideal for everyday use and active playtime, providing comfort and support for your child's adventures.

What is Abzorb cushioning?

Abzorb is a proprietary New Balance cushioning technology that provides superior shock absorption through a blend of foam cushioning and compression set resistance, ensuring comfort and support.

How should I clean these New Balance 740 trainers?

Wipe the trainers with a damp cloth using a mild detergent or soap, then allow them to air dry naturally. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.

Do these trainers come in other sizes or colors?

The New Balance 740 series is available in various infant UK sizes in black. Info needed: [To check for other colors, please refer to product listings from your retailer.]

Troubleshooting

Trainers are difficult to put on my child's foot.

Ensure the elastic laces are fully stretched open before attempting to slide the foot in. Wiggle the foot gently to guide it, and ensure your child is wearing appropriate socks that don't bunch up.

My child seems uncomfortable or wants to take the shoes off frequently.

Verify the sizing. While the elastic laces provide a secure fit, double-check that the size is correct for your child's foot length and width. Also, check for any debris inside the shoe or bunched-up socks.

The trainers look dirty quickly, especially the black material.

Black shoes can show dust and light dirt easily. Regularly wipe the trainers with a damp cloth and mild soap to keep them clean. For stubborn marks, a soft brush can be used carefully on the mesh and overlays.

The cushioning doesn't feel as responsive as when new.

Abzorb cushioning is designed for durability, but consistent heavy use can gradually compress it. Ensure the trainers are being used within their intended range (infant daily wear and play) and consider rotation with other footwear if your child is extremely active.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional Comfort: Abzorb cushioning provides superior comfort for all-day wear and play.
  • Easy On/Off: Elastic laces make it simple for parents to put on and take off the shoes quickly.
  • Breathable Design: Mesh uppers help keep small feet cool and dry.
  • Durable Construction: Designed to withstand the rigors of infant play.
  • Versatile Use: Ideal for both casual daily wear and active playtime at school or outdoors.

Cons

  • Infant-Specific Sizing: Only available in infant sizes, limiting use as children grow.
  • Color Maintenance: The black color may show dust or light dirt more noticeably, requiring frequent cleaning.
  • Elastic Lace Fit: While convenient, elastic laces may not offer the same precise adjustability as traditional tie laces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Getting started with your New Balance 740 Trainers is simple. Due to the elastic laces, these shoes are designed for an "easy-on" fit. Simply stretch the elastic laces as needed and slide your child's foot into the trainer. Ensure their heel is properly seated for optimal comfort and fit.

Compatibility

These trainers are designed specifically for infants, available in a range of children's UK sizes. They feature a unisex design, making them suitable for all infant genders. They are ideal for everyday wear, including school, play, and casual outings.

Care

Proper care will help maintain the trainers' appearance and extend their lifespan:

  1. Cleaning: For general dirt and grime, wipe the surface of the trainers with a damp cloth using a mild detergent or soap. Gently scrub any soiled areas.
  2. Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage the materials and cushioning.
  3. Maintenance: Remove any loose dirt or debris from the outsole regularly to maintain traction.
  4. Storage: Store trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
