FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, it is recommended to spot clean these trainers to preserve the integrity of the materials and the bungee lace system.
Does the bungee lace provide enough support?
Yes, the bungee system is designed to provide a secure, snug fit suitable for everyday school activities and light sports.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The 740 series generally features a standard fit. If your child has very wide feet, you may want to try them on in-store to ensure adequate comfort.
What is the primary material used?
The construction varies by specific model, but generally includes durable synthetic and fabric overlays designed for longevity.
How do I determine the right UK size for my child?
It is recommended to measure your child's feet in the afternoon when they are at their largest and consult the New Balance size chart for the most accurate fit.
Troubleshooting
Bungee lace feels too loose after extended use
Check the lace anchor points for debris. If the bungee has permanently stretched, it may need to be replaced by a cobbler or the shoe may have reached the end of its structural life.
Scuff marks on the white exterior
Use a specialized sneaker eraser or a damp cloth with a tiny amount of mild detergent to gently lift the marks from the surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 740 trainers last as long as possible, follow these care instructions:
- Initial Fit: Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between the longest toe and the front of the shoe to allow for natural growth.
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush or cloth with mild soapy water to spot clean the white uppers. Avoid fully submerging the shoes in water.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the materials.
- Maintenance: Regularly check the bungee laces for fraying. If the bungee loses elasticity over time, the shoes may feel loose and should be replaced for optimal support.
