FAQs

What age group are these trainers intended for?

These trainers are available in sizes suitable for infants and kids, ranging from smaller sizes like UK 4.5 up to UK 8.5.

What materials are the trainers made from?

The upper is primarily constructed from open knit mesh for breathability. Some sibling models may incorporate suede or leather elements, and the midsole is segmented for support. The specific material composition can vary slightly between different product variants.

Are these shoes waterproof?

The open knit mesh upper is designed for breathability and is not inherently waterproof. They are suitable for dry conditions and light splashes, but not for prolonged exposure to water.

How do I choose the right size?

Refer to the UK sizing guide provided by New Balance. It is recommended to measure your child's foot length and compare it to the sizing chart to find the most accurate fit.

Can these trainers be used for sports?

The 740 trainers are ideal for general daily wear, walking, and light running or play. They are not specifically designed for high-impact sports that require specialized support or features.

Do all models have laces?

Some models feature traditional laces, while others come with bungee lace systems for easier on-and-off and a more secure fit for younger children.

What is the warranty period for these trainers?

Warranty information is typically provided by the retailer at the time of purchase. Please check your receipt or contact the retailer for details on the warranty applicable to your specific purchase.

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight or too loose

Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Check the lacing or bungee system is adjusted appropriately for a snug but comfortable fit.

Upper material appears dirty after light use

Wipe down the trainers with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Allow to air dry.

Sole shows signs of wear quickly

These trainers are designed for daily wear and light activity. Excessive use on rough surfaces may accelerate wear. Consider the intended use and monitor wear patterns.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Stylish design inspired by classic running shoes.
  • Breathable mesh upper for comfort.
  • Supportive midsole for active use.
  • Durable construction suitable for children's activities.
  • Versatile for daily wear and light sports.

Cons

  • Material variations across sibling products may affect specific features like water resistance.
  • May not be suitable for high-impact or extreme sports.
  • Sizing might require careful attention to ensure a proper fit.
  • Laces (on some variants) might be less secure than bungee closures for very young children.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers come ready to wear. Ensure the correct size is selected for optimal comfort and support. If the model features laces, they may need to be tied to fit securely. Some variants offer bungee laces for easier adjustment.

Compatibility: The New Balance 740 trainers are designed for general children's footwear needs. They are compatible with casual wear and suitable for a range of activities including walking, running, and general play. They are not specifically designed for specialized sports requiring advanced technical features.

Care: To clean the trainers, use a damp cloth to wipe away dirt and debris from the upper and sole. For more persistent dirt, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by a clean damp cloth. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally, away from direct heat sources. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying, as this can damage the materials and construction.
