Product Information

Full details

The New Balance 740 trainers are designed for active children who need a reliable, comfortable shoe that bridges the gap between heritage 2000s aesthetics and modern performance. These trainers provide excellent breathability and cushioned support for daily wear, making them an ideal choice for school, play, and casual outings. While they offer a stylish and versatile look that pairs well with any outfit, parents should note that the mesh upper requires regular care to keep them looking fresh due to its textured, breathable nature.

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

While they are inspired by 2000s running shoe designs, they are intended for daily casual use rather than competitive track or long-distance running.

Can I wash these in the washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, as it can damage the structural overlays and the cushioning technology. Hand cleaning is the safest method.

Do these run true to size?

Yes, the New Balance 740 follows standard UK children's sizing. We recommend checking the size guide to ensure a proper fit for growing feet.

Are these shoes waterproof?

No, the breathable mesh upper is designed for ventilation and is not waterproof. They may absorb water if worn in heavy rain.

What is the primary material used?

The upper consists of a combination of breathable mesh for airflow and synthetic overlays for structural integrity.

Troubleshooting

Laces coming undone frequently

Ensure you are using a double knot or look into using elastic replacement laces if the standard ones are too slick.

Visible dirt on the mesh panels

Use a soft toothbrush to gently dislodge dry dirt from the mesh weave before wiping with a damp cloth.

Inner lining feels damp after use

Remove the insoles after a long day of play to allow the interior of the shoe to ventilate fully overnight.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your New Balance 740 trainers, proper maintenance is essential. As these shoes feature mesh panels, avoid using harsh brushes which can fray the fabric. Instead, use a soft-bristled brush or a damp cloth with mild soap to gently spot-clean any surface stains. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the cushioning components and damage the adhesive. Since these are standard fit, they pair well with most socks, though thicker athletic socks may require a slight adjustment in lacing tension.
