FAQs

What is the main benefit of the ABZORB technology?

ABZORB technology provides excellent shock absorption, cushioning the impact on the feet and joints during activity, contributing to overall comfort.

Are these shoes suitable for all types of sports?

The New Balance 740 Trainers are best suited for everyday wear, walking, and light athletic activities. For high-impact or specialized sports, footwear designed specifically for those disciplines may be more appropriate.

How do I determine the correct size for my child?

It is recommended to measure your child's feet accurately, preferably in the afternoon when feet are typically largest. Compare these measurements to the New Balance size chart. Ensure there is a thumb's width of space between the longest toe and the end of the shoe.

Can these trainers be washed in a washing machine?

No, it is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Hand washing or spot cleaning with a damp cloth is the preferred method to maintain the integrity and appearance of the materials.

What does the 'segmented midsole' refer to?

The segmented midsole is a design feature that breaks the midsole into distinct parts, often enhancing flexibility and contributing to the shoe's modern, 2000s-inspired aesthetic.

How do I clean the synthetic overlays?

Wipe the synthetic overlays with a damp cloth. For tougher marks, a very small amount of mild soap can be used, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.

What age group are these trainers intended for?

These trainers are designed for children, specifically noted as 'kids' in the product information, and come in various youth sizes.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Ensure the correct size has been selected. Check if the laces are tied too tightly and loosen them. Consider wearing thinner socks.

Soles feel slippery

Clean the rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or debris that may be reducing traction. Ensure the shoes are not worn on excessively wet surfaces.

Mesh appears dirty

Gently spot clean the mesh area with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Rinse the cloth and wipe away any soap residue. Allow to air dry.

Discomfort during wear

Ensure the shoes fit properly. Break them in gradually by wearing them for shorter periods initially. Verify that the correct socks are being worn.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These trainers are ready to wear right out of the box; no specific setup is required. They are compatible with standard children's socks. To care for your New Balance 740 Trainers, we recommend spot cleaning with a mild detergent and a damp cloth. Avoid machine washing or using harsh chemicals, as this can damage the materials and affect the shoe's structure. Allow the shoes to air dry completely away from direct heat or sunlight. For stubborn dirt, a soft brush can be used gently on the outsole.
