Product Information

Full details

The New Balance 740 Trainers are designed for active kids who need a durable, stylish shoe that draws inspiration from classic 2000s running aesthetics. These trainers offer a perfect blend of comfort and breathability through their open knit mesh upper and segmented midsole design, making them ideal for everyday wear and play; however, potential buyers should note that the polyester construction requires regular cleaning to maintain the vibrant grey and blue color profile.

FAQs

Are these shoes machine washable?

We recommend hand-cleaning with a damp cloth to preserve the structural integrity of the mesh and overlays.

Is the material waterproof?

No, the open knit mesh is designed for breathability and will allow water to penetrate if worn in heavy rain.

Can these be used for sports?

They are perfect for casual activities and playground play, but they are not categorized as professional-grade technical sports footwear.

How do I choose the correct size?

We recommend measuring the child's foot in the afternoon and referring to our standard UK sizing chart.

Is the sole non-marking?

The sole is designed for versatility, making it safe for most indoor school gym surfaces.

Troubleshooting

Visible dirt accumulation on the mesh

Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dry dirt before wiping with a damp cloth.

Shoes feel tight after a growth spurt

Check sizing against our fit guide and consider upgrading to the next half-size for continued comfort.

Odors developing inside the shoe

Remove the insoles to air out and use an anti-odor spray specifically designed for synthetic footwear.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Stylish retro-inspired design

  • Unisex design suitable for all children

Cons

  • Polyester mesh can attract dust and dirt
  • Not intended for heavy-duty sports or specialized athletic training
  • Requires careful cleaning to avoid fabric damage

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Getting the right fit is essential for these trainers; ensure that there is roughly a thumb's width of space between the child's longest toe and the front of the shoe to allow for natural growth. Since the upper is made of polyester mesh, avoid submerging them in water or using harsh chemicals during cleaning. Instead, gently wipe the surface with a damp cloth and mild soap. If the shoes get wet, let them air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the materials or cause the mesh to lose its shape.
