FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, it is recommended to surface clean them with a damp cloth or soft brush to protect the midsole integrity.
What is the primary benefit of the ABZORB midsole?
It provides enhanced cushioning and impact absorption, which helps protect developing joints.
Can I replace the bungee laces with traditional ones?
The 740 is designed specifically for the bungee system; replacing them may alter the fit and is not recommended by the manufacturer.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The 740 has a standard fit, but the bungee system does allow for some flexibility in the instep area for broader feet.
What is the age range for this specific size?
Size UK 7.5 is generally suitable for toddlers between 18 and 24 months, though foot shape varies per child.
Are these gender-specific?
The New Balance 740 is styled as a unisex sneaker, suitable for all infants.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty getting foot into the shoe
Ensure the bungee lace is fully loosened by pulling on the tongue and heel pull-tab simultaneously to create maximum opening space.
Shoe feels too loose or slips off
Verify that the infant is wearing the correct size UK 7.5; if the foot is narrow, consider using a slightly thicker sock to improve the interior fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because the 740 uses a bungee lace system, there is no setup required; simply ensure the fit is snug against the heel. To maintain the longevity of the materials, spot clean the exterior with a soft brush and mild detergent when necessary. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes, as this can degrade the foam and structural adhesives. Store them in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent material fading.
