Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 740 Trainers last as long as possible, follow these guidelines. Setup is straightforward: ensure the laces are adjusted to the child's foot shape to prevent heel slippage. For cleaning, avoid submerging the shoes in water. Instead, use a soft-bristle brush to remove loose dirt from the mesh, and wipe the midsole and overlays with a damp, soapy cloth. Air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the materials from warping or becoming brittle. If you are replacing insoles for orthotic reasons, the stock liners are generally removable, though users should ensure the replacement fits the internal volume of the shoe.
