The New Balance 740 Infant Trainers are designed for young children, offering supreme comfort and ease of wear for their active day-to-day. These trainers excel in providing a secure, comfortable fit for growing feet, making them ideal for play and everyday adventures. A key benefit is their simple elastic lacing system, ensuring quick on-and-off. While their classic style is a nod to early 2000s New Balance, parents should note that infant sizing requires regular checks due to rapid foot growth. Featuring a breathable mesh upper, angular overlays, and Abzorb cushioning, these trainers prioritize your child's comfort and support.

New Balance 740 Infant Trainers are engineered for the daily demands of active infants and toddlers. The breathable mesh upper is crucial for playground sessions, ensuring that little feet remain cool and reduce perspiration buildup, which can lead to discomfort. The Abzorb cushioning truly shines during those first steps, exploratory walks, or enthusiastic crawls, providing critical shock absorption that protects developing joints.
Parents will particularly appreciate the elastic laces, which transform what can often be a struggle into a simple, quick process. This means less time wrestling with footwear and more time for play, whether heading to daycare, a playdate, or simply exploring the home. The angular overlays not only contribute to the shoe's classic aesthetic but also add reinforcement, standing up to the scuffs and scrapes that are inevitable with active young children.
These trainers are ideal for:
Everyday Wear: Perfect for daily outings, walks in the park, and general play.
Daycare/Preschool: Easy for staff to manage during shoe changes.
Learning to Walk: The supportive yet comfortable design aids in stability and confidence for new walkers.
Unboxing: Carefully remove the trainers from their packaging.
Initial Fit Check: Before first wear, ensure the size is appropriate for your child's foot. The elastic laces allow for a wide opening; gently guide your child's foot in. There should be a small amount of space (about a thumb's width) between their longest toe and the end of the shoe.
First Wear: Allow your child to wear the trainers for short periods initially to get accustomed to them, especially if they are new to wearing shoes.
Age Group: Specifically designed for infants and toddlers.
Gender: These trainers feature a unisex design, suitable for both boys and girls.
Activities: Ideal for everyday wear, light play, daycare, and family outings.
Maintaining your New Balance 740 Infant Trainers will help prolong their life and keep them looking fresh:
Spot Cleaning: For light dirt and smudges, wipe the surface of the trainers with a soft, damp cloth immediately.
Deeper Clean: For tougher dirt, you can use a mild soap solution (like diluted dish soap) with the damp cloth. Gently scrub affected areas.
Rinsing: Wipe away any soap residue with a clean, damp cloth.
Air Drying: Always allow the trainers to air dry completely at room temperature, away from direct heat sources (like radiators or direct sunlight), which can damage materials.
Avoid Submerging: Do not machine wash or fully submerge the trainers in water unless explicitly stated on a care label, as this can affect the cushioning and adhesive.
