FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for sports?
These are primarily designed as casual lifestyle trainers. While they are inspired by running shoes, they are best suited for everyday wear and light activities.
How do I determine the right size?
These trainers follow standard UK children's sizing. We recommend measuring the foot with socks on at the end of the day when feet are at their largest.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash the 740s, as the heat and agitation can damage the materials and bond. Hand cleaning is the safest method.
Is the material waterproof?
No, the open mesh upper is designed for breathability and will allow water to pass through if stepped in puddles.
What is the secondary color on the grey model?
The grey model features beige accents to provide a neutral, stylish contrast.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming untied frequently
Double-knot the laces or swap them for elastic replacement laces if the child struggles with traditional tying.
Mesh becoming dirty after outdoor play
Use a specialized sneaker cleaning foam and a soft brush to gently lift dirt from the mesh weave.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your New Balance 740 trainers, keep the following tips in mind:
- Fit: Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space at the toe for optimal comfort.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry mud or surface debris from the mesh. For deeper stains, use a mild soap and a damp cloth; avoid submerging them in a washing machine, as this can degrade the midsole adhesives.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the colors from fading.
- Air Drying: Always air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to maintain the shape and material integrity.
