FAQs

Are these shoes machine washable?

No, it is recommended to hand-clean the trainers to preserve the integrity of the mesh and structural overlays.

What is the ABZORB midsole?

ABZORB is a specialized cushioning technology from New Balance that provides impact protection by absorbing shock through a combination of foam and compression resistance.

Is the size chart consistent with other brands?

New Balance typically follows standard UK sizing, but it is always best to measure your child's feet to confirm the current fit.

Can these be used for sports?

These trainers are designed for everyday activity and light sports, providing comfort and stability for active children.

What should I do if the shoes get wet?

Stuff the shoes with paper towels to absorb internal moisture and let them air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel tight after a long day

Feet often swell during physical activity; ensure you have the correct size and try wearing thinner socks.

Visible dirt stuck in mesh

Use a dry, soft-bristled toothbrush to gently agitate the dirt out of the mesh holes without using water.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your New Balance 740 trainers last as long as possible, proper care is essential. Since the upper features a mesh construction, it is best to avoid machine washing, which can damage the delicate fibers and overlays. Instead, clean the exterior by gently brushing off loose dirt with a soft-bristled brush. For tougher stains, use a mild soap and water solution on a clean cloth, dabbing the affected area gently. Always allow the trainers to air dry naturally, away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the materials or cause the adhesive to lose effectiveness. Ensure you verify your child's UK size, as the 740 series runs true to standard sizing conventions.
