FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for school use?
Yes, the neutral grey and black design and comfortable fit make them excellent for everyday school wear.
How do I determine the correct size?
The New Balance 740 trainers use standard UK sizing for children. It is recommended to measure your child's feet with a foot gauge and allow a small amount of room for growth.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
It is generally advised to avoid machine washing, as the high heat and agitation can damage the shoe's adhesives and bungee components. Stick to hand cleaning for better longevity.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, they are made from polyester and are not designed to be waterproof or water-resistant.
Are the laces adjustable?
The bungee laces provide a secure fit but lack the dynamic adjustment capabilities of traditional cotton or synthetic tie laces.
What age group are these trainers for?
The New Balance 740 series variants include both infant and kid-specific sizing, covering a broad range of developmental stages.
Troubleshooting
Bungee laces feeling too loose
Check the anchor point for the bungee mechanism to ensure it is fully engaged; if the laces have lost elasticity over time, consider replacing the laces with new bungee kits.
Visible dirt on grey polyester
Use a specialized sneaker cleaning solution and a soft brush to gently lift dirt particles out of the mesh-like polyester fibres.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 740 trainers last as long as possible, follow these simple care steps:
- Routine Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush or a dry cloth to remove loose dirt and dust from the polyester upper after daily use.
- Stain Removal: For spot cleaning, apply a small amount of mild, soapy water using a sponge. Gently dab the stained area and let the shoes air dry naturally.
- Drying: Avoid placing the trainers in a tumble dryer or directly on heat sources like radiators, as this can damage the structural integrity of the shoe materials and the elasticity of the bungee laces.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading and material degradation.
