FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

While inspired by 2000s running shoes, they are primarily designed for casual daily use and light activity.

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is constructed from an open-knit polyester mesh for breathability and durability.

How do I ensure the correct fit for my child?

Please consult the available UK children's sizing chart provided to ensure the shoe matches your child's current foot size.

Can I put these trainers in the washing machine?

No, it is highly recommended to avoid machine washing to protect the structure and material longevity of the shoes.

Are these unisex?

Yes, the New Balance 740 series in the grey/beige colorway is designed as a unisex style suitable for all children.

How often should I clean the mesh?

Regular maintenance, such as brushing off loose dirt after wear, will keep the shoes looking new for longer.

Troubleshooting

Visible dirt accumulating in the mesh

Use a dry, soft-bristled brush to gently lift dirt out of the knit patterns before using a damp cloth.

Midsole appears dull after long-term use

Use a specialized rubber cleaning solution or a mild soap-and-water mix with a sponge to wipe the midsole clean.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These trainers are designed for simple, everyday wear. For the best fit, ensure you are referencing the correct UK children's shoe sizing provided in the product specifications. To maintain the appearance of your 740s, we recommend the following care steps: 1. Wipe away surface dust with a dry cloth after each use. 2. Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dried mud from the mesh fibers. 3. If deep cleaning is necessary, use a mild detergent mixed with water and a soft cloth, then allow the shoes to air dry away from direct heat sources. Avoid machine washing or drying, as these methods can degrade the integrity of the adhesive and the shape of the mesh overlays.
