FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, it is recommended to spot-clean the New Balance 740 trainers with a damp cloth and mild soap to protect the mesh and foam materials.
Are they true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard UK children's sizing. If the child has wide feet, consider testing them with the socks they intend to wear.
Are these suitable for rainy weather?
Because of the open mesh upper, they are not waterproof and are best suited for dry conditions.
What material are they made of?
The upper is constructed primarily from polyester-based mesh and synthetic overlays.
Do they provide arch support?
The segmented midsole offers basic cushioning and support suitable for growing children during casual daily wear.
Can the insoles be replaced?
Yes, the internal insoles are typically removable if you need to insert custom orthotics.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming undone
Ensure a double knot is used during active play or consider replacing with elasticated laces if the child struggles with tying.
Dirty mesh fabric
Use a soft toothbrush and mild detergent to spot-clean the mesh; avoid using harsh chemical cleaners that may damage the textile.
Slippery outsoles
Wipe the bottom of the soles with a damp cloth to remove any debris or dust that may be reducing grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers come ready to wear with a standard lace-up closure for an adjustable, secure fit. To ensure longevity, avoid putting them in a washing machine, as this can degrade the adhesive and structural integrity. Instead, gently scrub the upper with a soft brush, mild soap, and warm water. For the outsole, wipe away dirt with a damp cloth after outdoor play to maintain traction and prevent material staining.
