FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for school?
Yes, the neutral Grey and Blue colorway makes them a versatile choice for most casual school settings.
Can I put these trainers in the dryer?
No, you should never place these shoes in a dryer as the heat can damage the midsole and adhesives.
Are these true to size?
The New Balance 740 series generally runs consistent with standard UK sizing, but it is always recommended to measure the foot to ensure the best fit.
What is the primary material used?
The trainers are primarily constructed using durable, high-quality polyester mesh.
Can these be used for sports?
They are designed for everyday lifestyle wear and light physical activity, not for competitive or high-impact athletic sports.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty cleaning the mesh upper
Use a soft-bristled toothbrush to gently scrub dirt from the mesh weave using a small amount of mild detergent.
Laces coming undone frequently
Ensure a double knot is tied or consider replacing the laces with a different texture if the current ones are too slippery.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best fit, ensure you are referencing the UK sizing chart, as these come in various children's and adult foot sizes. When putting on the trainers, always loosen the laces fully to avoid putting undue stress on the heel counter. To keep the shoes in peak condition, avoid machine washing. Instead, spot clean the mesh with a soft brush and mild soapy water, then air dry away from direct heat sources to maintain the integrity of the polyester material.
