FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

While they are inspired by running designs, they are intended for casual daily use and light play rather than competitive long-distance running.

How do I choose the right size?

This model is available in UK children's sizes; consult a standard foot measuring device to ensure a proper fit with a small amount of room for growth.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes, as it can damage the structural integrity and the materials used in the midsole.

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is crafted from a high-quality, breathable polyester mesh.

Are these shoes unisex?

Yes, the New Balance 740 is designed as a unisex model suitable for all kids.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight across the midfoot

Adjust the lace tension by loosening the eyelets starting from the bottom upward to allow for more volume.

Visible dirt on the grey mesh upper

Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dried mud, then follow with a damp cloth and mild detergent.

Laces coming undone frequently

Ensure a double knot is tied or replace with high-friction laces if necessary for more active play.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable polyester construction
  • Highly breathable mesh design
  • Modern cushioning for all-day comfort
  • Iconic, trendy retro style

Cons

  • Not intended for specialized sports performance
  • Light-colored areas may show dirt quickly
  • Limited to casual/everyday usage profiles

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because these trainers come with standard lace-up closures, ensure the laces are adjusted to the child's preference for a snug, secure fit without restricting circulation. To maintain the appearance of your New Balance 740s, it is recommended to spot clean the polyester mesh and overlays with a soft cloth and mild soap. Avoid soaking the shoes in water or using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can compromise the cushioning technology and the adhesive on the overlays. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to prevent material warping.
