FAQs

Are these shoes machine washable?

It is recommended to clean these trainers by hand with a soft cloth to protect the materials and structural integrity.

Are these suitable for wide feet?

The 740 series features a standard fit. If your child has very wide feet, you may want to ensure they wear thinner socks or consider a half-size up.

What age group are these for?

These trainers are specifically designed for children in the kids' size range.

Can these be used for competitive running?

While inspired by running shoes, these are designed for casual, daily use and lifestyle activity rather than competitive track or field performance.

What is the primary material used?

The upper is constructed from polyester, featuring an open-knit mesh for breathability.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel tight after a long day

Feet naturally swell throughout the day; try adjusting the lacing tension for a more relaxed fit.

Dirt stuck in the mesh material

Allow the mud to dry completely, then gently brush it out with a dry, soft brush before spot-cleaning.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Lightweight design perfect for all-day comfort
  • Breathable mesh upper prevents overheating
  • Versatile style works well for both school and weekend activities
  • Refined retro aesthetic fits current fashion trends

Cons

  • Open-knit material is not waterproof
  • Light-colored mesh may show dirt more easily than solid materials
  • Not intended for technical sports or heavy-duty outdoor hiking

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Getting the most out of your New Balance 740 trainers is straightforward. To ensure a proper fit, ensure your child wears the type of socks they would typically use with these trainers, and check that there is about a thumb's width of space at the toe.

Care Instructions

  • Spot Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush or a cloth with mild, soapy water to remove surface dirt from the mesh and overlays.
  • Air Dry Only: Always allow the shoes to dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, as high heat can damage the synthetic materials and glue.
  • Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place when not in use to maintain the integrity of the cushioning and upper fabric.
