Full details
The New Balance 740 Trainers are designed for active kids who need a reliable, stylish shoe for daily play and school activities. Drawing inspiration from 2000s-era running archives, these sneakers offer a perfect blend of nostalgic style and modern comfort, featuring a lightweight construction and supportive build. While they excel as everyday footwear, the open knit mesh design means they are best suited for dry weather conditions rather than heavy rain or muddy terrain.

FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
It is recommended to clean these shoes by hand using a damp cloth and mild soap to preserve the materials.
Can these be worn for gym class?
Yes, they are suitable for general physical education activities, though they are not designed for specialized sports.
Are these shoes true to size?
New Balance generally follows standard sizing, but it is always best to refer to the specific UK size guide for children's footwear.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is primarily constructed from breathable open knit mesh with supportive angular overlays.
Are they suitable for rainy weather?
Because the upper features an open knit mesh for breathability, they are not waterproof and are best suited for dry conditions.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight after a period of use
Check the lacing tension, as it may have tightened during activity, or consider if the child's foot has grown.
Visible dirt on the mesh upper
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dried mud before wiping with a damp cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting the right fit is crucial for growing feet; ensure the child is wearing appropriate socks before measuring. To maintain the trainers, wipe the upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes in water, as this can degrade the structural integrity of the overlays. If the shoes get wet, air-dry them away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent material warping or adhesive breakdown.
