Full details
The New Balance 740 Trainers are a versatile, everyday footwear option designed for kids seeking a blend of classic 2000s archival style and modern comfort.

FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
It is not recommended to wash these in a machine, as the heat and agitation can damage the structural integrity of the mesh and adhesives.
Can these be used for professional sports?
These are designed as everyday trainers and lifestyle shoes; while durable, they are not intended for high-intensity competitive sports.
Is the material waterproof?
No, the open-knit mesh is designed for breathability and will allow water to pass through.
How do I find the correct size?
The 740s follow standard UK sizing; refer to the sizing guide to match your child's measured foot length.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the internal insoles can be removed for cleaning or replaced with orthotic inserts if required.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on the mesh fabric
Use a soft brush to gently flick off dry dirt and wipe the area with a slightly damp cloth.
Midsole shows scuff marks
Gently rub the affected area with a soft eraser or a damp cloth dipped in a mixture of water and gentle soap.
Shoes feeling damp after cleaning
Remove the insoles and stuff the interior with paper towels to absorb moisture; let air dry in a well-ventilated area.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your New Balance 740 Trainers in peak condition, ensure the laces are adjusted to provide a snug, secure fit without creating pressure points. When storing, keep the shoes in a cool, dry place to maintain the integrity of the polyester mesh. For cleaning, avoid submerging the shoes in water. Instead, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt or mud from the outer overlays. For deeper cleaning of the midsole, gently wipe with a damp cloth and a mild soap solution, then allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp synthetic components.
