FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?
New Balance typically offers a standard fit. If your child has particularly wide feet, it's recommended to try them on to ensure a comfortable fit, as specific width options are not available for this model.
Can these trainers be machine washed?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and cushioning. Please follow the spot cleaning and hand washing instructions provided in the 'Care Instructions' section.
What is 'Abzorb cushioning'?
Abzorb cushioning is a proprietary New Balance technology designed to absorb impact and disperse energy, providing superior comfort and support underfoot, especially important for active, developing feet.
How often should I check my toddler's shoe size?
Toddlers' feet grow rapidly. It's recommended to check their shoe size every 2-3 months to ensure the trainers still fit comfortably and appropriately.
Do the elastic laces come untied easily?
No, the elastic laces are designed for easy on/off without tying. They are securely integrated, so there are no loose ends to come untied, enhancing safety during play.
Are these trainers good for all seasons?
These trainers are designed for general everyday wear. While suitable for most conditions, they are not specifically waterproof. For very wet or cold weather, alternative footwear designed for those conditions would be more appropriate.
Troubleshooting
Trainers seem too tight or uncomfortable.
Check sizing against your child's foot. Toddler feet grow quickly. Ensure socks are not too thick. If new, allow a short break-in period for the material to soften slightly. If discomfort persists, re-evaluate the size.
Foot odor develops.
Ensure trainers are completely air-dried after each wear. Remove insoles if possible and let them air out. Use absorbent socks. Consider using shoe deodorizers designed for children's footwear.
Elastic laces feel too loose or too tight.
The elastic laces are fixed. If they feel consistently too loose or tight, it may indicate a general sizing issue, either in length or width, and a different size might be needed.
Trainers look dirty quickly.
Toddlers are active! Regular spot cleaning with a damp cloth after outdoor play helps maintain their appearance. For tougher marks, follow the deep cleaning instructions in the care section.
Soles show uneven wear.
Some uneven wear is normal for active toddlers. However, significant uneven wear could indicate an underlying gait issue in your child or an incorrect shoe size. Consult a pediatric podiatrist if concerned.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: First Wear
- Sizing Check: Ensure the trainers fit correctly. There should be a thumb's width space between your toddler's longest toe and the end of the shoe. The width should be snug but not tight.
- Initial Adjustment: The elastic laces mean there's no need to tie. Simply slip your toddler's foot into the trainer, ensuring their heel is seated properly at the back.
- Comfort Check: Watch your child walk and run in the trainers. Look for any signs of discomfort, rubbing, or difficulty moving. If their feet are happy, the fit is likely good.
Compatibility
- Age Group: Specifically designed for toddlers (e.g., size 9 UK for this variant).
- Gender: Unisex design, suitable for all children.
- Activity: Best suited for everyday casual wear, walking, and general play. Not specialized for specific sports.
Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your New Balance 740 Toddler Trainers.
- Spot Cleaning: For minor dirt and scuffs, use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap. Gently rub the affected areas. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Drying: Always air dry trainers at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage materials and adhesives.
- Deep Cleaning (if needed): For more stubborn dirt, a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) can be used with mild soap and water. Pay attention to crevices and the sole.
- Insoles: If insoles are removable, take them out to air dry periodically to prevent odors.
- Storage: Store trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
