FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for sports?
They are designed as daily trainers inspired by running shoes, making them excellent for gym class, light sports, and general active play.
Do these shoes come in different materials?
Yes, depending on the specific size, the materials may include nylon, leather, or polyester to ensure durability across the size range.
How do I determine the right size for my child?
These shoes follow standard UK children's sizing. We recommend measuring the foot at the end of the day when it is at its largest.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
We do not recommend machine washing, as it can damage the structural integrity and adhesives of the shoe. Manual cleaning is best.
Are these unisex?
Yes, the New Balance 740 series is designed as a unisex model for kids.
Troubleshooting
The mesh is becoming dusty or stained
Gently scrub with a soft-bristled brush and a mixture of water and mild detergent; air dry away from sunlight.
The fit feels slightly tight
Ensure the laces are loosened and the tongue is properly aligned; consider wearing thinner performance socks to improve comfort.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep the New Balance 740 in optimal condition, ensure you select the correct size by referencing the UK children's sizing guide. Since some versions feature leather while others utilize nylon or polyester, care instructions vary. For nylon and polyester mesh versions, use a soft brush to remove loose debris, followed by a damp cloth with mild soap. For leather variants, use a specialized leather cleaner and avoid submerging the shoes in water to prevent material cracking. Always allow the trainers to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the materials or damage the adhesive.
