FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for machine washing?

It is generally recommended to hand-clean these trainers with a damp cloth rather than machine washing to protect the cushioning technology and material integrity.

What material is the upper made from?

The upper is constructed from an open knit-mesh polyester, designed for breathability and flexibility.

Are the New Balance 740 Trainers unisex?

Yes, this model features a versatile aesthetic designed to be worn by any child.

Can these be used for sports like basketball?

While these are comfortable for playground activity, they are designed as lifestyle trainers and do not provide the specific lateral support required for court sports.

How do I determine the right size for my child?

Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between the longest toe and the front of the shoe to allow for natural foot movement.

Troubleshooting

Visible dirt on the knit-mesh upper

Use a soft-bristled brush or damp cloth to gently lift surface dust and dirt from the knit fabric.

Uncomfortable fit or tightness

Adjust the lacing tension throughout the eyelets to allow for more room in the forefoot area.

Debris stuck in midsole segments

Carefully remove stones or twigs using a dull plastic tool to prevent damage to the midsole cushioning.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your New Balance 740 trainers remain in top condition, follow these simple care steps. Keep the shoes clean by wiping the knit-mesh upper with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid submerging them in water or using harsh chemicals that could damage the fabric. For the best fit, ensure the trainers are properly laced to provide adequate ankle support, and check the outsole periodically for any debris stuck in the midsole segments. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the cushioning materials.
