FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, machine washing can damage the structural integrity of the trainers. Clean them manually with a damp cloth.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The 740 series provides a standard fit. If your child typically requires wide-fit footwear, you may want to try them on in-store first to ensure comfort.
Do these shoes come with laces or straps?
Depending on the specific size and sub-model, some versions use traditional laces while others may feature a simplified closure. Check the specific product imagery.
Can I use these for competitive running?
These are designed as lifestyle trainers. While they are great for daily activity and play, they are not intended for competitive athletic track racing.
How do I ensure I pick the right size?
Use a measuring device to determine the child's foot length in centimeters or inches and cross-reference this with the New Balance UK children's size chart.
Troubleshooting
The shoe feels too tight across the midfoot
Try adjusting the lacing or strap tension to allow for more room; if the discomfort persists, the child may require a different size.
Outer surface has minor scuffs
Use a specialized sneaker cleaning wipe or a soft eraser to gently buff out surface scuffs from the leather or synthetic components.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your New Balance 740 trainers, follow these maintenance tips:
- Cleaning: Wipe away loose dirt or mud with a soft-bristled brush or a damp cloth after each use.
- Avoid Immersion: Do not submerge the shoes in water or place them in a washing machine, as this can degrade the adhesives and materials.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes at room temperature. Avoid placing them directly near heaters or in direct sunlight, which can cause the materials to stiffen or warp.
- Sizing: Always measure the child's foot against the brand-specific sizing chart. Since this model comes in various sizes (UK 1 to 13), confirm the specific MPN matches your requirement.
