FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

While they utilize heritage running shoe design, they are primarily casual lifestyle trainers intended for daily activity rather than competitive or high-intensity sports.

Are they waterproof?

No, the open mesh upper is designed for breathability and will not repel water effectively.

Can I put these trainers in the washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes as the heat and agitation can damage the structural adhesives and midsole foam.

What age group are these trainers designed for?

These trainers are specifically designed for kids and offer a variety of sizes to accommodate growing feet.

What materials are used in the upper?

The upper is constructed from polyester and features an open mesh design for comfort and breathability.

Does the shoe provide arch support?

The segmented midsole offers a baseline of support appropriate for casual wear, though those needing orthopedic support may consider adding an aftermarket insole.

Troubleshooting

Visible dirt on the mesh upper

Gently scrub the affected area with a soft-bristled brush and a mixture of water and mild detergent; air dry completely.

Shoelaces coming untied frequently

Ensure a double knot is used, or consider replacing with elastic laces if the child struggles with traditional tying.

Uncomfortable fit after long wear

Check that the laces are adjusted evenly across the eyelets to distribute pressure, or verify that the size remains appropriate as feet grow.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These trainers come ready to wear out of the box. To ensure a proper fit, ensure your child's heel is seated firmly against the back of the shoe and that there is approximately a thumb's width of space at the front of the toes. To care for your New Balance 740s, it is recommended to spot clean the polyester mesh and angular overlays with a soft brush and mild soap. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh detergents, as this can degrade the cushioning components. Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent material damage.
