FAQs

Are these shoes machine washable?

It is generally not recommended to machine wash these trainers as it can damage the materials. Stick to hand-cleaning with a soft cloth and mild soap.

Is the sizing true to standard UK sizes?

Yes, the New Balance 740 follows standard UK children's footwear sizing.

Can the insoles be removed?

The insoles are designed to be integrated into the shoe, but they can be carefully removed if you need to insert a custom orthotic.

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is crafted from a durable and breathable polyester mesh.

Are these suitable for wet weather?

While the materials are durable, the open mesh design is not waterproof. We recommend avoiding heavy rain to keep feet dry.

Do these shoes provide arch support?

The segmented midsole offers moderate arch support suitable for everyday use.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feeling tight after a few hours

Ensure laces are not tied too tightly across the bridge of the foot and check if the socks being worn are too thick.

Accumulated dirt in mesh

Use compressed air or a soft dry brush to gently loosen and remove dust particles from the open mesh layers.

Traction loss on smooth floors

Check the outsole for trapped pebbles or debris; clean the tread with a damp cloth if necessary.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These trainers are designed for immediate use straight out of the box. To maintain their appearance, we recommend the following care tips:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dust from the mesh. For deeper stains, use a mild detergent mixed with warm water and a clean cloth.
  2. Drying: Air dry only. Avoid placing them near heat sources like radiators, as this can damage the structural integrity of the cushioning and adhesives.
  3. Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading of the grey and blue accents.
  4. Maintenance: Regularly check for loose laces or debris embedded in the sole's grooves to ensure optimal traction.
