FAQs

Are these shoes machine washable?

It is not recommended to machine wash the 740s, as the mechanical action and heat can compromise the structural integrity of the overlays and cushioning.

Are these suitable for wide feet?

The 740 generally fits true to size, but the mesh upper provides some flexibility for varying foot shapes.

Can I use these for sports?

They are designed primarily as lifestyle trainers. While comfortable for general play, they lack the specific lateral support needed for high-intensity sports.

What is the primary material?

The upper is constructed primarily from breathable mesh with synthetic angular overlays for added durability.

How do I ensure the correct size?

Always measure feet with socks on and compare against the standard UK children's size guide provided by New Balance.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel tight after a long day.

Feet often swell during activity; try loosening the laces slightly mid-day or wearing thinner cotton socks.

Build-up of dust in the mesh panels.

Use a soft-bristled brush or a dry microfiber cloth to gently dislodge particles from the mesh weave.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Lightweight and breathable materials for all-day comfort
  • Robust construction suitable for active children

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your New Balance 740 trainers last as long as possible, proper care is essential. Since the shoe features mesh panels, it is recommended to spot clean them with a soft brush and mild soap rather than submerging them in water or using harsh detergents. Avoid putting these trainers in a tumble dryer, as extreme heat can degrade the cushioning foam and damage the adhesive holding the overlays. If the shoes get wet, air dry them at room temperature away from direct sunlight to prevent material stiffening or fading.
