FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?

Do I need to tie these laces?
No, the New Balance 740 uses a bungee lace system designed to slip on and off easily.
Are these suitable for rainy weather?

Can I replace the insoles?
While the factory insoles are designed for optimal fit, you can replace them with custom orthotics if necessary.
Is the sizing consistent with other brands?
New Balance sizing is generally reliable, but it is always best to measure your child's foot length in centimeters to match with the specific UK size.
Troubleshooting
Bungee laces feel too tight or loose
Ensure the lace lock or tension points are evenly distributed across the tongue area.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers require no "break-in" period; they are ready for wear right out of the box. To ensure the best fit, check the child's foot measurements against the New Balance size chart, as sizes for kids can vary slightly from adult sizing. For care, keep the shoes clean by wiping them down with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid submerging the trainers in water or putting them through a laundry machine, as this can degrade the structure and the adhesive components. If the trainers get wet, remove any loose dirt and allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which could warp the material.
