How do I choose the correct size for my child?

Can these trainers be washed in a washing machine?

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
Double-check sizing against a foot measurement. Adjust laces for a more secure or relaxed fit. Consider trying a half-size up or down if discomfort persists.
Laces keep coming undone.
Ensure laces are tied securely with a double knot. If the laces are old or worn, consider replacing them with new ones that offer better grip.
Foot odor or excessive sweating.
Ensure your child wears breathable cotton socks. Allow shoes to air out completely between uses. Regular cleaning of the shoe's interior can also help reduce odor.
Upper material looks dirty/scuffed.
Clean regularly with a damp cloth and mild soap. For persistent scuffs, a specialized shoe cleaner for synthetic materials might be used, following product instructions carefully.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup
Before first use, ensure you have selected the correct size for your child's foot. Have your child try on the shoes with their usual socks. Ensure there is about a thumb's width space between their longest toe and the end of the shoe, and that the heel fits snugly without slipping. Adjust the laces to achieve a comfortable, secure fit, making sure they are not too tight or too loose.
Compatibility
These trainers are designed for unisex infants and young children, making them suitable for any child in the specified age group. They are versatile for various casual and active settings.
Care
To maintain the longevity and appearance of the New Balance 740, regularly wipe down the synthetic and mesh upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing, as this can damage the materials and cushioning. Allow shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Remove any loose dirt with a soft brush before cleaning.
