Product Information

Full details

The New Balance 740 trainers are designed for active children who need a blend of classic 2000s-inspired style and modern everyday comfort. These unisex trainers offer a breathable fit through an open knit mesh upper and a supportive, segmented midsole that accommodates constant movement. While they provide excellent versatility for school, play, and casual outings, users should note that the open-knit material is best suited for dry weather conditions rather than heavy rain.

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running sports?

These trainers are styled after 2000s running shoes for everyday wear; while they are great for play and walking, they are not designed as high-performance athletic footwear for competitive track sports.

How do I clean the mesh material?

Use a damp cloth and a mild soap solution to wipe away stains. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing, which can damage the synthetic overlays.

Are they water-resistant?

No, the open-knit mesh design prioritizes breathability over water resistance, so they are best worn in dry conditions.

Is the sole non-marking?

Yes, the rubber outsole is designed for general use and is typically safe for indoor gym floors and school surfaces.

Can I replace the insoles?

The insoles are generally removable, allowing you to insert orthotic inserts if required.

Are these true to size?

New Balance sizing is generally consistent, but it is recommended to reference the size guide to match the UK sizing provided.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty putting on the shoes

Loosen the laces fully from the bottom eyelets to provide more room for the child to slip their foot in.

Mesh upper accumulating dust or debris

Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dirt after use; do not submerge in a washing machine.

Laces coming undone frequently

Ensure the laces are tied with a double knot or consider replacing them with elasticated no-tie laces for younger children.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Lightweight construction perfect for all-day wear

  • Flexible sole supports natural foot development
  • Stylish 2000s aesthetic appeals to various age groups

Cons

  • Mesh material is not water-resistant
  • Light colours may show dirt more easily
  • Limited to casual and light activity use rather than intense sports

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your New Balance 740 trainers, keep them away from deep mud and heavy moisture, as the open knit mesh can trap debris. If the shoes become dirty, spot-clean them with a soft brush and mild detergent, allowing them to air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators. Ensure the correct fit by measuring your child's feet in the afternoon when they are at their largest, and check that there is a thumb-width of space in the toe box for growth and comfort.
