FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for sports?
The New Balance 740 trainers are primarily designed for casual daily wear and general comfort, not for high-performance sports. While durable for active play, they are not specialized athletic footwear.
How do I find the right size for my child?
This particular model is a UK Children's Size 3. It's recommended to measure your child's foot and compare it to New Balance's official size chart to ensure the best fit.
Can these trainers be worn in the rain?
As they are made with suede, these trainers are not ideal for heavy rain or very wet conditions. Suede can be damaged by water. Applying a water-resistant suede protector spray can offer some defense against light moisture.
How often should I clean the suede?
It depends on usage. For daily wear, a quick brush-down after use can prevent dirt build-up. Spot clean stains as they occur. Deep cleaning with a specialized product should be done periodically as needed.
Are there other colors or sizes available in the 740 series?
Yes, the New Balance 740 series typically comes in various colors and sizes. This specific product is white suede in UK Children's Size 3, but other variants might be available from retailers.
What is Abzorb cushioning?
Abzorb is a New Balance proprietary foam material that offers superior shock absorption and cushioning properties, providing comfort and reducing impact during walking or light activities.
Are these trainers suitable for both boys and girls?
Yes, the New Balance 740 trainers are designed with a unisex appeal, making them suitable for both boys and girls.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained.
Use a soft suede brush to remove loose dirt. For deeper stains, gently rub with a suede eraser or use a specialized suede cleaner according to its instructions. Always let the shoe air dry completely.
Shoes feel uncomfortable or tight.
Ensure the correct size has been purchased (this model is UK 3 children's). Check that laces are not tied too tightly. Consider wearing appropriate socks.
Suede looks matted or flattened.
Use a suede brush to gently restore the nap of the material. Brush in consistent, short strokes in one direction.
Trainers squeak when walking.
Check if the insoles are properly seated or if they need to be re-positioned. Sometimes, a light dusting of baby powder or cornstarch under the insole can resolve squeaking.
General wear and tear visible on soles or upper after light use.
While durable, regular care extends shoe life. Ensure appropriate use for casual activities. For specific manufacturing defects, contact New Balance support or the retailer.
