Is the sizing true to size?

Can I replace the insoles?

Troubleshooting
Laces coming untied frequently
Double-knot the laces or replace them with shorter, textured laces that hold a knot better.
Scuff marks on the upper material
Use a specialized sneaker eraser or a gentle mix of water and mild detergent to buff out surface-level scuffs.
Shoe feels too tight after a few months
Check if the child has outgrown the current size; children's feet often require re-measuring every 3 to 4 months.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your New Balance 740 trainers, begin by verifying the correct UK size for your child to allow for natural growth room. When cleaning, avoid machine washing; instead, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dried mud or debris from the outsole. For the upper portion, a damp cloth with mild soap is sufficient to wipe away surface stains. Air dry them away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, to prevent material warping or adhesive degradation.
