FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, it is recommended to spot clean them by hand to preserve the integrity of the mesh and adhesives.
Are the New Balance 740 trainers true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing for children, but it is always best to leave a thumb's width of space at the toe.
Can these be worn for sports?
They are ideal for casual athletic use and playground play, though they are not specialized performance equipment for competitive sports.
Do these shoes provide good arch support?
The segmented midsole is designed to support natural movement, offering a balance of comfort and flexibility for growing feet.
Are these suitable for wet weather?
The open knit mesh is breathable rather than waterproof, so they are better suited for dry conditions.
Troubleshooting
Mesh upper is showing trapped dirt
Use a soft dry brush to flick away debris before using a damp cloth for deeper cleaning.
Laces coming undone frequently
Ensure a double knot is used; if the laces are worn, replace them with standard athletic-length laces.
Midsole looks scuffed from play
Use a specialized rubber eraser or mild abrasive sponge to gently buff out scuffs on the midsole.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your 740 trainers, remove the laces and inserts before cleaning. Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dried mud or dirt from the mesh upper and midsole. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can compromise the adhesive structure of the overlays. Spot clean with a mild soap and cold water mixture. Ensure the shoes air-dry in a cool, ventilated area away from direct sunlight to prevent the material from yellowing or warping.
