FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

While based on a heritage running design, they are intended for everyday wear and light activity rather than long-distance athletic training.

Are the shoes machine washable?

It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes, as it can damage the materials and glue, potentially affecting the structural integrity.

Are they water-resistant?

No, the open-knit mesh upper is designed for breathability and will allow water to pass through in wet conditions.

How do I find the right size?

Refer to the New Balance standard children's size chart. Ensure there is approximately a thumb's width of space between the longest toe and the front of the shoe.

Can the insoles be removed?

Yes, the insoles are typically removable if you need to insert custom orthotics or replace them.

Troubleshooting

Laces coming undone during activity

Double-knot the laces or consider replacing them with elastic no-tie laces for younger children.

Mesh appearing dirty after daily wear

Use a specialized sneaker cleaning foam and a soft brush to lift debris from the mesh pores.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Lightweight and breathable design
  • Iconic, versatile retro aesthetic
  • Flexible midsole for natural movement
  • Unisex design suitable for all kids

Cons

  • Open-knit mesh is prone to staining
  • Not intended for heavy-duty off-road terrain
  • Limited water resistance due to fabric construction

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your New Balance 740s last, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dried dirt from the mesh upper after outdoor use. For deeper cleaning, wipe with a damp cloth and mild detergent, avoiding submersion in water to maintain the integrity of the materials. Because these shoes feature a standard lacing system, ensure laces are tied securely to provide proper midfoot support. Store in a cool, dry place to prevent premature material degradation.
