FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The New Balance 740 series features a standard fit. If your child has wider feet, you may consider trying a half-size up to ensure comfort.
Are these machine washable?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, as the heat and agitation can degrade the adhesives and mesh material.
What is the primary material used in the upper?
The upper is constructed primarily of an open knit mesh, which provides excellent airflow.
Are these good for sports?
These are designed as daily trainers for casual wear and play, not specifically for specialized sports like basketball or soccer.
How do I find the right size?
Refer to the standard UK sizing provided in the product title, and ensure there is roughly a thumb's width of space between the toe and the end of the shoe.
Do these have arch support?
The segmented midsole provides moderate, everyday arch support suitable for growing children.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on the mesh surface
Gently scrub with a soft-bristled brush and a mixture of water and mild detergent; air dry completely.
Laces coming untied frequently
Ensure double-knotting or swap to elastic no-tie laces if the child struggles with traditional knots.
Odors developing after extended use
Remove insoles to air out, or use a sneaker-safe deodorizing powder or spray inside the shoe.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your New Balance 740 trainers, proper care is essential. Since the upper is made of mesh, avoid machine washing, which can damage the synthetic fibers and structural integrity. Instead, gently spot-clean any surface dirt with a soft brush and mild soap. Air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, to prevent warping or material degradation. To maintain freshness, remove the inserts after particularly active days to allow moisture to evaporate from the footbed.
