Product Information

Full details

The New Balance 740 Trainers are designed for active children who need a reliable, stylish daily shoe that blends 2000s-inspired aesthetics with modern comfort. These trainers provide excellent durability and a lightweight feel thanks to the polyester knit construction, though parents should note that the open-knit mesh design is best suited for dry weather rather than muddy or wet conditions.

FAQs

Are these shoes machine washable?

It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes. Please clean them by hand using a damp cloth and mild detergent.

Are these suitable for wet weather?

The open-knit mesh upper is designed for breathability, so it is not water-resistant and may let water in if walking in rain or mud.

What material is the upper made from?

The upper is constructed from a durable, lightweight polyester knit.

Are these good for wide feet?

The 740 series has a standard athletic fit, but the mesh construction provides some flexibility for varying foot shapes.

Do these shoes provide arch support?

Yes, they feature a supportive midsole designed for daily wear, though they are not medical-grade orthotic shoes.

Troubleshooting

Laces coming untied frequently

Double-knot the laces or consider replacing them with shorter, flat athletic laces that provide more friction.

Dirt stuck in the mesh material

Use a soft-bristled brush to gently dislodge dry dirt from the mesh weave before wiping with a damp cloth.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Lightweight and breathable materials
  • Stylish, archival 2000s design
  • Flexible sole supports natural foot movement
  • Durable enough for daily school or play wear

Cons

  • Open-knit mesh may allow water to seep in
  • Laces may require frequent adjustment for younger children
  • Not intended for heavy-duty trail use

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because these trainers feature a standard lace-up system, ensure they are laced securely but not too tightly to avoid restricting circulation. To maintain the shoes, avoid machine washing, which can damage the structural overlays. Instead, wipe the mesh upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. If the shoes get wet, air-dry them away from direct heat sources, like radiators, which can warp the materials. To keep the interior fresh, consider removing the insoles and letting them air out separately after a long day of intense activity.
