Product Information
Full details
The New Balance 740 infant sneaker is designed for active infants who need a combination of classic style and reliable comfort during their early milestones. The key benefit is its user-friendly bungee lacing system, which allows for quick transitions between play and rest, though the slip-on style may require parents to ensure a snug fit based on individual foot shape. This durable trainer provides the support needed for all-day activity through its specialized midsole cushioning.

FAQs
Is this shoe machine washable?
No, it is recommended to spot clean with a damp cloth to preserve the ABZORB midsole technology.
How do the sizes run?
These follow standard infant sizing; it is best to measure your child's foot length against our sizing chart for accuracy.
Can I replace the bungee laces?
The bungee laces are integrated into the design; replacing them may alter the fit and function of the shoe.
Are these shoes suitable for outdoor use?
Yes, they are constructed with durable materials suitable for both indoor play and outdoor surfaces.
Does the ABZORB midsole lose its cushion over time?
Like all footwear, the cushioning may compress with extensive use, but it is engineered to be durable for the infant stage.
Troubleshooting
Sneaker feels too loose on the foot
Ensure the heel is pushed fully into the back of the shoe and check if the bungee cord is evenly distributed across the tongue.
Difficulty getting the foot inside
Loosen the bungee system by pulling on the tongue to widen the opening, rather than pulling the lace itself.
Outer material showing signs of dirt
Use a soft brush or damp cloth to gently spot clean; do not machine wash.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these shoes utilize a bungee lace system, there is no "break-in" or setup required—they are ready to wear out of the box. To ensure the best fit, check that your infant's toes have a small amount of wiggle room. For care, keep the shoes clean by wiping them down with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid submerging the sneakers fully in water or using harsh detergents, as this can degrade the specialized materials in the midsole and upper. Allow the shoes to air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators to maintain the shape and integrity of the cushioning.
