FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
It is recommended to clean these shoes by hand with a damp cloth and mild soap to preserve the integrity of the mesh and overlays.
What is the primary material used?
The upper is constructed primarily from a breathable, high-quality polyester open-knit mesh.
Are these trainers good for running?
While they are inspired by 2000s-era running shoes, they are designed as casual, everyday trainers and are not intended for high-performance athletic training.
How do I ensure I have the right size?
Measure the child's foot length and compare it to the New Balance sizing chart, ensuring there is a small amount of space for toe movement.
What age group are these for?
These trainers are specifically designed for children's foot anatomy.
Troubleshooting
Shoes accumulating dirt in the mesh
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently dislodge trapped debris after each use.
Inner lining feeling damp
Remove the insoles after a long day of activity and allow the shoes to air out in a well-ventilated area.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your New Balance 740 trainers, proper care is essential. Since the upper is made of polyester mesh, avoid machine washing if possible, as it can damage the structural integrity of the angular overlays. Instead, clean the exterior with a soft brush to remove loose dirt and use a damp cloth with mild soap for spot cleaning. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the materials. Ensure the correct fit by measuring your child's feet regularly, as the shoe size 8.5 (UK children's) represents a specific length that should allow for natural toe splay.
