FAQs

What age group are these shoes designed for?

These New Balance 740 trainers are specifically designed for infants.

Are these shoes suitable for both boys and girls?

Yes, the New Balance 740 is a unisex design, suitable for all genders.

How do I ensure I get the correct size for my child?

It is recommended to measure your child's foot and compare it to New Balance's sizing chart. For infants, ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between the longest toe and the end of the shoe.

Can these shoes be machine washed?

No, it is not recommended to machine wash these shoes. Hand-washing with a damp cloth and mild soap is advised, followed by air drying.

What is the ABZORB midsole?

The ABZORB midsole is a New Balance cushioning technology designed to absorb impact through a blend of foam cushioning and compression set resistance, providing superior comfort and shock absorption.

Are these shoes durable for active children?

Yes, with a synthetic and mesh upper, the New Balance 740 is designed to be durable and withstand the activities of energetic infants while remaining breathable.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or too loose.

Adjust the lace closure. Ensure the laces are snug but not constricting, allowing for comfortable movement. If the issue persists, verify that the shoe size is correct for your child's foot.

Child complains of discomfort or rubbing.

Check socks for proper fit and material. Ensure the shoe's tongue and laces are properly positioned and not digging into the foot. Allow for a break-in period if new, though infant shoes typically require less. Verify correct sizing.

Shoes get dirty quickly and are hard to clean.

The synthetic/mesh upper is generally easy to clean. Use a damp cloth with mild soap for surface dirt. For tougher stains, a soft brush can be used gently. Always air dry.

Shoes seem to lose cushioning over time.

While the ABZORB midsole is designed for durability, all cushioning materials can compress with extensive use. Ensure shoes are appropriate for activity level. If cushioning loss significantly impacts comfort, consider replacement.

Setup

Getting the New Balance 740 ready for use is straightforward. The shoes feature a lace closure, allowing for an adjustable and secure fit. Simply untie the laces, slide your child's foot into the shoe, and then re-tie the laces to a comfortable snugness, ensuring they are not too tight to restrict circulation nor too loose to cause slipping.

Compatibility

These shoes are designed for infants and are unisex, meaning they are suitable for all genders. The specific size for this variant is UK 5.5 for infants. Always ensure you select the correct size for your child's foot to guarantee comfort and proper development.

Care

To ensure your New Balance 740 shoes remain in excellent condition and provide lasting comfort:

  • Cleaning: For routine cleaning, gently wipe the synthetic and mesh upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the materials. For deeper cleaning, you can hand wash them with a soft brush and air dry away from direct sunlight or heat.
  • Drying: Always allow the shoes to air dry completely. Do not machine wash or put them in a dryer, as high heat can alter the shoe's shape and material integrity.
  • Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight to prevent material degradation and color fading.
  • Inspection: Regularly check the laces for wear and tear, and the sole for any debris that might affect traction. Replace laces if they become frayed.
