FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, it is recommended to spot clean them with a damp cloth to maintain the shape and material quality.
Are these true to size?
New Balance shoes generally fit true to size, but it is always best to measure your child's foot against the manufacturer's size chart before ordering.
Can these be used for running?
While they are comfortable for casual play and walking, they are not designed as high-performance technical running shoes.
What materials are used in the trainers?
The 740 series utilizes a mix of durable synthetic materials and textiles tailored for kids' comfort.
Are they suitable for both wide and narrow feet?
The standard fit of the 740 series is designed to accommodate most foot shapes, but the lacing system allows for some adjustability in tightness.
Do these shoes offer arch support?
Yes, they include built-in cushioning and support to assist with the natural development of a child's gait.
Troubleshooting

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of the New Balance 740 trainers, it is recommended to keep them away from deep mud and heavy moisture when possible. If the shoes become dirty, gently wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap; do not submerge them fully in water or put them in the washing machine as this can compromise the adhesive and structural integrity. Check the size guide carefully before purchase, as kid and infant sizing can vary slightly between manufacturers.
