FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running sports?
Yes, the 740 features a design inspired by performance running shoes, providing good stability and cushioning for recreational running and active play.
Can I put these in the dryer?
No. Never put these shoes in a dryer, as the high heat can damage the adhesives and synthetic materials.
How do I know what size to choose?
Use a standard foot measuring device or trace your child's foot on paper to measure the length in centimeters and compare it to the New Balance size chart.
Are these unisex?
Yes, the New Balance 740 is designed as a unisex trainer suitable for all children.
What is the primary material?
The upper is constructed primarily from polyester, which is used for the open knit mesh to ensure both durability and breathability.
Troubleshooting
Footbed feels less supportive over time
Check the interior for debris and ensure the insole is lying flat; replace with an aftermarket orthotic insole if arch support requirements change.
Surface stains on the mesh
Use a specialized sneaker cleaning foam or a mixture of mild detergent and water, dabbing gently with a microfiber cloth rather than scrubbing harshly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best fit, ensure your child wears their preferred athletic socks when trying on the trainers. The New Balance 740 uses standard sizing; if you are between sizes, opt for the slightly larger size to account for natural foot growth. To maintain the shoes, avoid machine washing. Instead, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry mud or dirt from the outsole. For the upper, use a damp cloth with mild soap to gently spot-clean areas of discoloration. Always air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the material.
