FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
It is generally recommended to hand-clean these trainers with a damp cloth rather than using a washing machine, as high heat and heavy agitation can damage the structural adhesives.
Are the laces standard or elastic?
The New Balance 740 series typically features standard tie laces, allowing for a customizable and secure fit for the child.
Is this shoe suitable for wide feet?
The 740 series is built on a standard width last. If your child has exceptionally wide feet, you may want to try them on in-store first to ensure a comfortable fit.
What is the primary material used?
These trainers utilize a mix of durable synthetic and fabric materials designed for durability, breathability, and ease of cleaning.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the stock insoles are generally removable, allowing you to swap them out for personal orthotics if needed.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight after a few months
Children's feet grow rapidly; re-measure the child's foot length to check if it is time to upgrade to the next size up.
Outsole surface has lost traction
Clean the bottom of the shoe with warm, soapy water to remove compacted dirt or debris that may be obstructing the tread pattern.
Inner lining showing signs of wear
Ensure the child is fully unlacing the shoes before putting them on or taking them off to prevent heel friction and damage to the inner heel collar.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of the New Balance 740 trainers, keep the following care instructions in mind:
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with a mild detergent and air dry away from direct heat sources to prevent damage to the materials.
- Sizing: As children's feet grow quickly, it is recommended to measure their feet every 3-4 months to ensure the size 2 (or other respective size) remains appropriate.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to prevent material degradation or odors. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight for extended periods.
- Compatibility: These trainers are designed for casual use with standard socks, though they can accommodate custom orthotics if necessary.
