FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can compromise the materials and cushioning properties of the midsole.
Can these be used for sports like soccer or basketball?
These are lifestyle trainers. While they are durable for general play, they lack the specific lateral support needed for high-impact court sports.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper is crafted from an open-knit mesh, which prioritizes breathability and lightweight comfort.
Are these shoes unisex?
Yes, the New Balance 740 trainers are designed as unisex footwear, suitable for any child.
Do they provide arch support?
The shoes feature a standard, supportive midsole consistent with New Balance daily trainers, though they are not designed as corrective footwear.
Troubleshooting
Dirt buildup on the mesh upper
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently dislodge dry dirt before using a damp cloth for spot cleaning.
Odors developing from frequent wear
Remove the insoles to air them out separately and store shoes in a well-ventilated area when not in use.
Laces coming undone
Ensure a double knot is used if the child is prone to tripping or if the laces feel overly slick.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your 740 trainers, keep the following tips in mind: For daily care, wipe down the outer surface with a soft, dry brush to remove loose dirt and dust. If the mesh becomes stained, use a damp cloth with mild soap, avoiding harsh chemicals that could damage the fabric. Avoid machine washing, as this can degrade the foam midsole. For storage, keep the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material fading. If the shoes get wet, air dry them naturally at room temperature with the laces loosened.
