Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 740 trainers last as long as possible, it is recommended to keep them clean by wiping the exterior with a soft, damp cloth after particularly muddy play sessions. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or putting them in a washing machine, as this can degrade the specialized materials. Always check your child's foot size using a standard UK sizing chart before ordering, as the 740 series is available in many distinct sizing variants for both infants and juniors.
