How do I choose the correct size for my child?

It's best to measure your child's foot and refer to New Balance's sizing chart. Ensure there's a thumb's width of space at the toe and a snug heel fit.

Can these trainers be washed in a washing machine?

No, it is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Please clean them by hand with a damp cloth and mild soap to preserve their materials and structure.

Do these shoes offer good arch support for developing feet?

While specific arch support details are not provided, the ABZORB midsole offers general cushioning and comfort, which contributes to overall foot well-being during activity.

What kind of closure do these trainers have?

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.
