Product Information

Full details

The New Balance 740 Trainers are designed for active kids who need a reliable, stylish shoe for daily wear. Drawing inspiration from 2000s-era running designs, these trainers offer a perfect balance of durability and comfort for playground activities or casual outings. While they provide excellent structural support with an open-knit mesh upper and segmented midsole, users should note that the polyester material is best suited for general lifestyle use rather than professional athletic racing.

FAQs

Are these shoes machine washable?

It is generally recommended to clean them by hand to preserve the materials and the structural integrity of the mesh.

Are these suitable for wide feet?

The 740 series features a standard fit. If you find standard shoes tight, consider checking for a slightly larger size.

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is constructed from high-quality, breathable polyester open-knit mesh.

Can these be used for track sports?

While they are inspired by running shoes, they are primarily lifestyle trainers and are best suited for daily wear and general play.

Does the shoe provide good arch support?

The segmented midsole is designed to support natural foot motion, though it is not a specialized orthotic shoe.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty keeping laces tied

Use a double knot to ensure the laces stay secure during active movement.

Mesh upper shows stubborn dirt

Dab the area with a mixture of water and gentle soap, then wipe clean with a damp sponge.

Footbed feels worn down

Consider adding an aftermarket arch support insole if additional cushioning is required.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

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

  1. Cleaning: Wipe away surface dirt with a soft, dry cloth. For deeper stains, use a mild detergent mixed with warm water and a soft-bristled brush to gently clean the mesh.
  2. Drying: Always air dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the material.
  3. Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place when not in use to maintain the integrity of the polyester mesh.
  4. Fit: Ensure the laces are adjusted to provide a snug, secure fit without restricting circulation, especially as children's feet grow.
