FAQs

Are these shoes machine washable?

It is recommended to clean these shoes by hand with a damp cloth and mild soap to preserve the structural integrity and materials.

Are the New Balance 740s true to size?

Generally, they fit true to size. Ensure you refer to the UK sizing guide to find the best match for your child's foot measurements.

Can these be used for competitive running?

While inspired by performance running shoes, these are designed for casual, everyday wear rather than competitive athletic training.

Is the material waterproof?

No, the breathable mesh upper is designed for airflow, which means it is not waterproof and may absorb water in heavy rain.

What is the primary material used?

The trainers feature a breathable mesh upper combined with synthetic angular overlays for support.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty cleaning the mesh upper

Use a mild detergent mixed with water and a soft cloth; avoid putting them in the washing machine as this can compromise the adhesive.

Insole becomes uncomfortable

Remove the factory insole and ensure no debris has collected underneath; replace with a proper orthotic if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your New Balance 740 trainers remain in top condition, follow these simple maintenance tips. For daily care, remove loose dirt with a soft-bristled brush, paying attention to the mesh sections. If the shoes become damp, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, which can damage the cushioning materials. The neutral grey color is highly compatible with most school uniforms and weekend outfits. Always ensure you are selecting the correct UK size, as the structure is intended to fit snugly but not restrictively around the midfoot.
