FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
Yes, they are inspired by classic running silhouettes and are designed to support active movement and daily play.
How do I determine the right size for my child?
We recommend measuring the child's foot length and comparing it to the standard UK sizing guide to ensure enough room for growth.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, as the heat and agitation can damage the leather and adhesive components.
Are these shoes unisex?
Yes, the New Balance 740 design is intended for all children regardless of gender.
Does the shoe provide arch support?
The midsole provides structural support typical of daily running shoes, offering stability for growing feet.
What is the primary material of this shoe?
This specific variant uses high-quality leather overlays paired with an open-knit mesh upper for a balance of durability and airflow.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on the mesh upper
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently scrub the fabric and lift away dry dirt before wiping with a damp cloth.
Shoes feel stiff after storage
Gently flex the sole by hand a few times to loosen the materials before wear.
Creasing on leather overlays
Creasing is a natural characteristic of leather; use a shoe tree or stuffed paper to help the shoe maintain its shape when not in use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers are designed for immediate wear right out of the box. To ensure a long life for your 740s, it is recommended to regularly wipe down the leather sections with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can strip the finish from the leather. For the mesh portions, a soft brush can be used to remove loose dirt or debris. Ensure the shoes are stored in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources to prevent the materials from becoming brittle or misshapen.
