FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

While inspired by running aesthetics, these are primarily casual lifestyle trainers intended for everyday activities.

Are the insoles removable?

Yes, the insoles are typically removable if you need to insert custom orthotics.

How do I choose the right size?

Refer to the standard UK children's size guide and ensure there is about a thumb's width of space at the front of the toe.

Can these be machine washed?

It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes, as it can damage the materials and the structural support.

Are these shoes waterproof?

No, these are not waterproof and are designed for breathability and comfort in dry conditions.

Troubleshooting

Laces coming undone frequently

Consider a double-knot or replacing with elastic laces if the child struggles with tying.

Surface stains on polyester material

Spot clean gently with a damp cloth and mild soap; do not submerge fully in water.

Signs of wear on the outsole

Check if the child is dragging their feet during gait; regular rotation of footwear can help extend the life of the tread.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Iconic, retro-inspired aesthetic suitable for daily wear
  • Flexible midsole design aids in natural walking movement
  • Sturdy construction capable of handling active playtime
  • Versatile colorway that hides dirt well
  • Lightweight feel prevents foot fatigue during extended use

Cons

  • Material construction (polyester vs. leather) may vary by specific size
  • Retro aesthetic may not appeal to those seeking high-tech modern athletic performance
  • Lace-up closure may be difficult for younger children compared to velcro

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your New Balance 740 trainers remain in top condition, follow these simple care guidelines. Ensure you double-knot the laces initially to prevent them from loosening during play. For cleaning, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dried mud or debris from the outsole and overlays. For the polyester uppers, a mild detergent mixed with warm water and a gentle cloth will suffice. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying, as high heat can degrade the cushioning materials and adhesives.
