Product Information

Full details

The New Balance 740 Trainers for kids bring the heritage of a classic 2000s-era running shoe to a younger generation, offering a perfect blend of durability and iconic style. Ideal for active children who need a reliable daily shoe, these trainers feature an open knit mesh upper and a supportive, segmented midsole. While the design excels in comfort and aesthetic appeal, the open mesh construction means they are best suited for dry-weather activities rather than rainy or muddy conditions.

FAQs

Are these shoes machine washable?

No, machine washing can damage the structural integrity of the mesh and overlays. We recommend spot cleaning with a damp cloth.

Are these trainers waterproof?

No, the open knit mesh upper is designed for breathability rather than water resistance.

Can I use these for sports activities?

Yes, their athletic heritage makes them well-suited for general sports, physical education classes, and playground activities.

How do I determine the right size?

Measure your child's foot in the afternoon when it is at its largest and consult the standard New Balance UK children's size guide.

What is the primary material used in the upper?

The upper is crafted from an open knit mesh combined with synthetic angular overlays for support.

Troubleshooting

Laces coming undone during activity

Use a double knot or replace with slightly textured athletic laces to increase grip.

Dirt stuck in the mesh material

Allow the mud to dry completely, then use a dry, soft brush to flick the particles out of the weave.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These trainers come ready to wear with standard lacing. To ensure a proper fit, ensure the heel is snug against the back of the shoe with enough room in the toe box for growth. For care, keep the mesh clean by gently brushing off dry dirt with a soft-bristled brush. Avoid putting these in a washing machine, as high heat and submersion can compromise the adhesive and materials. If they become wet, air dry them naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent warping.
