FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?
The 740 Trainers are designed with a standard fit. For children with wide feet, it is recommended to try them on in person or consult the brand's sizing guide for any width-specific options or advice.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper primarily features an open-mesh material with synthetic overlays for structure and style.
Can these trainers be machine washed?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Hand washing with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method for cleaning to preserve the materials and construction.
What age group are these trainers intended for?
These trainers are part of the kids' collection and are suitable for children.
How do I determine the correct UK size for my child?
Measure your child's foot from heel to the tip of the longest toe while they are standing. Compare this measurement to the New Balance size chart for children's UK sizing.
What is the inspiration behind the 740 model?
The 740 model is inspired by New Balance's running shoe designs from the 2000s, featuring elements like an open-mesh upper, segmented midsole, and streamlined silhouette.
Are these shoes good for sports?
These trainers are best suited for everyday wear, walking, and light playground activities. They are not designed as specialized footwear for high-impact sports.
Troubleshooting
Shoes appear smaller than expected
Refer to the New Balance sizing chart for children's UK sizes and compare with the child's foot measurement. Different models can have slight variations in fit.
Discoloration on the mesh upper
If the discoloration is from dirt, try cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap solution. Avoid abrasive cleaners. If it is a material defect, contact customer service.
Laces become untied frequently
Ensure laces are tied securely using a double knot. Consider replacing laces with a different material or length if they are proving problematic.
Slight odor after wear
Remove insoles and allow shoes to air out completely between wears. Using a shoe deodorizer or baking soda inside the shoes overnight can help absorb odors.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct size before use.
Compatibility: Designed for unisex children's wear, these trainers are suitable for everyday activities and light athletic pursuits. They are not designed for specialized sports requiring specific footwear.
Care: To maintain the appearance and condition of your New Balance 740 Trainers:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or a damp cloth to gently remove dirt and dust from the mesh and overlay materials. Avoid harsh scrubbing.
- Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Wipe with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources, such as radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
- Insoles: If removable, clean insoles separately according to material recommendations. Ensure they are fully dry before reinserting.
