FAQs
What age group are these New Balance 740 shoes designed for?
These shoes are specifically designed for kids.
What kind of cushioning technology do these shoes feature?
The New Balance 740 features an ABZORB midsole, which provides excellent cushioning and shock absorption for active feet.
What materials are used for the upper part of the shoe?
The upper is constructed from a durable and breathable synthetic and mesh combination with sleek overlays.
Are these shoes suitable for both boys and girls?
Yes, the New Balance 740 has a unisex design, making it suitable for all children.
How do I ensure the correct size for my child?
Always refer to the specific New Balance sizing guide for children's footwear. You should measure your child's foot length and width to find the most accurate size, as sizes can vary slightly between brands.
What is the closure type for these shoes?
The New Balance 740 features a traditional lace closure, allowing for an adjustable and secure fit.
How should I clean these shoes?
Clean the synthetic/mesh upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Allow them to air dry away from direct heat or sunlight. Avoid machine washing to preserve the shoe's structure and materials.
Troubleshooting
My child complains the shoes are uncomfortable.
First, check the sizing to ensure it's correct for your child's foot. Next, ensure the laces are tied properly – not too loose (causing rubbing) and not too tight (restricting circulation). Allow a short break-in period if they are brand new.
The shoes look dirty quickly.
This is common with active kids. Regularly wipe down the synthetic/mesh upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. For more stubborn dirt, use a soft brush. Consistent, light cleaning is better than infrequent, deep cleaning.
The laces keep coming undone.
Ensure you are using a double knot. If the laces are old or worn, consider replacing them with new, durable laces that maintain a knot better.
My child's feet feel sweaty in the shoes.
While the mesh upper is breathable, prolonged intense activity can still lead to sweat. Ensure your child wears appropriate moisture-wicking socks. You can also try removing the insoles periodically to air out the shoes.
