FAQs
What age group are these trainers suitable for?
These New Balance 740 trainers are specifically designed for active toddlers in the 'kids' age group, with this model being a UK size 6.
How do I clean these trainers?
Gently wipe them with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Allow them to air dry completely. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
Are these trainers waterproof?
While durable, the man-made and mesh upper is not designed to be fully waterproof. They offer some protection against light moisture but are not suitable for prolonged exposure to wet conditions.
What materials are used in the upper?
The upper construction combines durable man-made materials with breathable mesh for a balance of resilience and comfort.
Are these shoes unisex?
Yes, the New Balance 740 trainers feature a unisex design, making them appropriate for both boys and girls.
How do I ensure I choose the right size for my child?
We strongly recommend measuring your child's foot and referring to the official New Balance sizing chart. This specific variant is a UK size 6, so ensure this matches your child's needs for a comfortable fit.
Troubleshooting
Trainers feel too tight or loose
Verify the size against a New Balance size chart, ensuring your child's foot measurements align with the UK size 6. Also, check the thickness of the socks worn.
Shoes appear dirty or scuffed
Wipe down the trainers with a damp cloth and mild soap. For scuffs on the man-made material, a gentle eraser can sometimes help. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Child experiences discomfort during wear
Check inside the shoe for any foreign objects, loose stitching, or creases that might be causing irritation. Ensure socks are smooth and adequately cover the foot. Re-evaluate the fit.
Unusual wear pattern on the sole
Some wear is normal with active use. However, if wear is excessively uneven or rapid on one side, it might indicate a need to observe your child's gait or consider if the shoe type is best suited for their foot mechanics.

Care & Maintenance
Proper care will extend the life of your New Balance 740 trainers:
- Cleaning: For general dirt and grime, wipe the trainers gently with a damp cloth. For tougher spots, use a small amount of mild soap and water on the cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or brushes that could damage the materials.
- Drying: Always allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as these can warp materials or damage adhesives.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
