Product Information

Full details

The New Balance 740 Trainers are designed for active kids who need a reliable, retro-inspired shoe that bridges the gap between classic style and modern performance. With a signature ABZORB midsole, these trainers provide excellent impact protection for all-day wear, making them ideal for school, playground activities, or weekend adventures. While they offer exceptional comfort and durability, potential buyers should note that the lace-up design requires a bit more effort to secure compared to velcro or bungee alternatives, and sizing should be checked against specific child foot measurements to ensure a perfect fit.

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for everyday school wear?

Yes, the durability and comfort features of the 740 series make them a great choice for daily school activities.

What technology is in the midsole?

These shoes feature ABZORB midsole technology, which is designed to absorb impact and provide superior cushioning.

How do I ensure I choose the right size?

Measure your child's feet in the afternoon when they are largest and compare the length to the specific New Balance size chart.

Are these machine washable?

No, it is recommended to clean them by hand with a damp cloth and mild soap to preserve the structural integrity and materials.

Do these come with different lacing options?

While this model uses standard laces, other variants in the 740 series may feature bungee or alternative closure systems.

Are these trainers good for wide feet?

The lace-up design allows for some adjustability, though fit varies by individual foot shape.

Troubleshooting

Laces coming untied frequently

Double-knot the laces or swap them for higher-friction laces if the child struggles to keep them secure.

Visible dirt on the upper

Use a soft-bristled brush to gently scrub the fabric once it has dried; avoid hard scrubbing which may damage the surface overlays.

Shoe feels too tight

Loosen the lacing pattern starting from the toe box working your way up to distribute tension more evenly.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your New Balance 740 trainers, begin by loosening the laces fully before putting them on to prevent wear and tear on the heel counter. For cleaning, remove loose dirt with a soft brush, and spot-clean stains using a mild detergent and a damp cloth; avoid submerging the shoes in water or using a washing machine, which can damage the midsole foam. For sizing, always refer to the specific UK child foot measurements as fit may vary between different styles. Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation.
