Full details

FAQs

Are these shoes machine washable?

It is recommended to clean these shoes by hand using a damp cloth and mild soap to preserve the structural integrity of the mesh and overlays.

Are these suitable for wide feet?

The New Balance 740 has a standard fit; if your child has significantly wider feet, you may want to consult our sizing guide or consider sizing up slightly.

Can these be used for competitive sports?

These are lifestyle-inspired trainers designed for daily wear and casual activities; they may not provide the specialized support required for intense competitive sports.

What is the primary material of the upper?

The upper is crafted from an open-knit mesh fabric combined with synthetic angular overlays for added durability.

Are the insoles removable?

Yes, the insoles are generally removable, allowing you to air them out or replace them with custom orthotics if necessary.

Troubleshooting

Visible dirt on the mesh upper

Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dried mud before wiping with a damp cloth.

Shoe feels tight or uncomfortable

Check if the laces are overtightened or if the child needs a larger size due to normal foot growth.

Odour buildup after daily use

Remove the insoles to air out separately and use a shoe-safe deodorizing spray.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your New Balance 740 trainers remain in top condition, follow these simple maintenance steps:

  1. Cleaning: Gently wipe the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove surface dirt. Avoid soaking the shoes in water.
  2. Drying: Air dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the materials.
  3. Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid storing in humid areas to prevent odour.
  4. Sizing: This model is available in various UK sizes. Always ensure a thumb-width of space between the toes and the front of the shoe for proper growth room.
