FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
It is not recommended to machine wash the New Balance 740, as it can damage the cushioning materials. Spot cleaning is the best way to maintain them.
Can I replace the bungee laces with standard laces?
The 740 is designed specifically for the bungee system; modifying the lacing may compromise the secure fit of the shoe.
Do these shoes provide arch support?
The ABZORB midsole provides overall comfort and impact absorption, which is suitable for the natural development of an infant's foot.
Is the material waterproof?
The materials used are chosen for durability and breathability, but they are not categorized as waterproof.
How do I choose the right size?
Measure your child's foot in centimeters or inches and refer to the New Balance size chart to convert to the UK size 5.5.
Troubleshooting
Shoes are difficult to slide on
Ensure the heel tab is pulled fully back while guiding the foot into the opening to release tension from the bungee system.
Surface stains appearing on the grey fabric
Spot clean immediately with a mild detergent and a damp cloth; do not soak the material as it may affect the adhesive.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These shoes are designed for immediate use out of the box. No complex setup is required thanks to the pre-configured bungee laces. For compatibility, ensure you verify the UK shoe size against your child's current foot measurements, as sizing can vary slightly between stages. To maintain the condition of the shoes, wipe them down with a soft, damp cloth after outdoor use. Avoid machine washing to preserve the integrity of the foam midsole and the bungee cord elasticity. If the shoes become heavily soiled, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources.
