Full details
The New Balance 740 kids' trainers are ideal for active children who need a reliable, comfortable shoe for daily wear. Drawing inspiration from 2000s-era running designs, these trainers offer a blend of modern aesthetics and durable construction; however, users should note that the open-knit mesh material is best suited for dry conditions rather than heavy rain.

FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, machine washing can damage the adhesive and material structure. Use spot cleaning techniques instead.
Are the New Balance 740s true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard sizing. It is recommended to leave about a thumb's width of space at the front for growth.
Can these be used for sports like soccer?
These are casual trainers and do not provide the specific grip or reinforcement required for field sports.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The structure is relatively standard, but the mesh upper provides some natural flex that can accommodate various foot shapes.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper consists of an open-knit mesh with synthetic angular overlays for support.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the internal insoles are removable, allowing for cleaning or the use of orthotic inserts if necessary.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty putting on the shoes
Loosen the laces fully from the eyelets downwards before inserting the foot to allow the bridge of the shoe to open wider.
Outer mesh getting dirty quickly
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dried dirt before wiping the area with a damp cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers are designed for a straightforward, snug fit typical of the New Balance kids' range. To ensure longevity, avoid machine washing; instead, spot-clean the mesh upper using a soft cloth and mild soap. Air dry the shoes in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources to preserve the structural integrity of the foam midsole. Ensure the child wears appropriate moisture-wicking socks to maximize the comfort properties of the inner lining.
