FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, it is recommended to spot clean them with a damp cloth and mild soap to preserve the structural integrity of the materials.
Do these shoes provide arch support?
They feature a standard, comfortable footbed suitable for everyday casual wear; however, they are not specialized orthopedic shoes.
What is the best way to dry them if they get wet?
Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like hair dryers or heaters.
Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?
The 740 model has a standard fit. If your child has very wide feet, you may want to ensure the lacing is adjusted appropriately or consider a half-size larger.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is crafted from durable polyester, specifically designed as an open knit mesh for maximum breathability.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight during the day
Adjust the lace tension; children's feet can swell slightly with activity, so ensure the laces are not pulled too tightly across the bridge.
Visible surface stains on the mesh
Use a soft bristle brush to gently work away dried dirt before using a damp cloth with mild soap to wipe the area.
Laces coming undone frequently
Teach the child a double-knot method or replace the laces with elastic no-tie laces for a more consistent tension.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are lace-up trainers, ensure you choose the correct UK size for a secure fit that allows room for growth. To keep your New Balance 740s looking their best, spot clean the exterior with a soft brush or a cloth dampened with mild detergent and cold water. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can damage the synthetic materials and the adhesive bonds. Allow them to air dry naturally in a well-ventilated area, keeping them away from direct heat sources like radiators.
