Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your New Balance 740 trainers, follow these guidelines:
- Sizing: Always measure the child's foot with a standard brannock device or sizing chart, as sizing can vary between materials (mesh vs. leather).
- Cleaning: For mesh uppers, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dried dirt. For tougher stains, use a mild detergent mixed with water and a cloth, but avoid submerging the shoes fully.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation or fading.
- Maintenance: Regularly check the laces and ensure the insoles are lying flat to maintain proper foot alignment.
