Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The New Balance 740 has a standard fit, but the flexible mesh upper allows for some natural expansion.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

No, machine washing can damage the structural integrity of the overlays and the midsole adhesive.

What age group are these for?

These trainers are specifically sized and designed for active kids.

Are the insoles removable?

The insoles are generally fixed to the footbed, though you may replace them with orthotics if necessary.

Is the material waterproof?

No, the polyester mesh is designed for breathability and will allow water to pass through.

Troubleshooting

Outer mesh looks dull or dusty

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

Shoes feel loose after extended wear

Re-tighten the laces to ensure the angular overlays are positioned correctly to support the midfoot.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Highly breathable open-knit mesh keeps feet comfortable
  • Stylish 2000s-inspired archival design
  • Flexible sole encourages natural foot movement
  • Lightweight construction prevents foot fatigue
  • Sturdy overlays add durability to high-impact areas

Cons

  • Mesh material can attract dust or debris more easily
  • Light-colored grey elements may show stains quickly
  • Not intended for heavy-duty trail running

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because these are slip-on friendly or lace-up trainers (depending on specific fit), ensure the laces are adjusted to provide a snug, secure lockdown without cutting off circulation. To keep the grey polyester material looking sharp, spot clean with a mild soap and a soft-bristled brush. Avoid machine washing, as the heat and agitation can compromise the adhesive in the segmented midsole. Always air dry away from direct heat sources to preserve the integrity of the mesh.
