FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for sports?
While comfortable for general play and light physical activity, these trainers are designed for everyday casual wear rather than specialized sports performance. For specific sports, dedicated athletic footwear is recommended.
How do I clean the suede material?
Use a soft-bristled brush or a suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, gently dab with a damp cloth and mild soap, or use a specialized suede cleaner. Always allow to air dry. Do not machine wash.
What is ABZORB cushioning?
ABZORB is a New Balance proprietary foam material that provides excellent shock absorption. It combines cushioning and compression resistance to help minimize impact during movement, offering superior comfort for active feet.
Are they true to size?
New Balance typically runs true to size for children's footwear. However, it's always best to measure your child's foot and refer to the New Balance size chart to ensure the most accurate fit. Remember to allow a small space for growth and comfort.
Can these trainers be worn in the rain?
Due to the suede material, prolonged exposure to heavy rain or very wet conditions is not recommended, as it can damage the suede. A water-repellent spray can offer some protection against light moisture.
What age group are these trainers for?
These New Balance 740 Trainers are specifically designed for kids, offering features and sizing appropriate for children's feet.
Troubleshooting
Trainers look dirty quickly.
Regularly brush off loose dirt with a soft brush and use a suede-specific cleaner for persistent marks. Consider applying a protective spray.
Suede looks matted or worn.
Use a suede brush to restore the nap and texture. Brush in one direction for a uniform look.
Child complains of discomfort or rubbing.
Check the fit. Ensure there's adequate room in the toe box and the laces aren't too tight or too loose. Make sure they are wearing appropriate socks.
Trainers develop an odour.
Remove insoles to air out. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside overnight (remove before wear). Ensure trainers dry properly after wear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Getting started with your New Balance 740 Trainers is simple. As standard lace-up trainers, ensure you:
- Untie the laces completely.
- Slide your child's foot in, making sure their heel is comfortably seated at the back.
- Lace up the trainers, ensuring they are snug but not too tight. A good fit allows for a thumb's width between the longest toe and the end of the shoe.
- Double-knot the laces for added security during active play.
Compatibility
These trainers are designed for unisex wear and pair well with a wide range of children's clothing:
- Casual Outfits: Jeans, shorts, t-shirts, hoodies.
- School Wear: Many school uniforms allow for stylish trainers.
- Activewear: Perfect for light sports or playground activities.
Care Instructions
To ensure your New Balance 740 Trainers remain in excellent condition, especially with the suede material:
- Regular Cleaning: Gently brush off loose dirt and dust with a soft brush specifically for suede or a dry cloth.
- Spot Cleaning: For minor stains, use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap, dabbing gently. Avoid saturating the suede.
- Suede Protector: Consider applying a suede protector spray before first use and periodically thereafter to repel water and stains.
- Drying: If wet, stuff the trainers with paper towels to absorb moisture and maintain shape. Allow them to air dry at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight.
- Avoid Washing Machine: Do not machine wash, as this can damage the suede and cushioning.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
