To ensure the longevity of your New Balance 740s, it is important to match the shoe to the child's correct UK size. Before wearing, ensure the laces are properly adjusted to provide a secure fit without restricting circulation.

Care instructions vary based on the primary material:

  • Leather Variants: Wipe down with a damp cloth and use a leather-safe cleaner to maintain the finish. Avoid soaking the leather.
  • Polyester Variants: Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For deeper cleans, use a mild detergent mixed with water and air dry away from direct heat sources.

Always allow the shoes to dry naturally at room temperature to prevent material warping or adhesive breakdown.
