FAQs
Are these New Balance 740 shoes suitable for everyday wear, or just for golf?
While specifically designed as golf shoes for juniors, their comfortable `ABZORB` cushioning and grippy rubber outsole make them well-suited for general active wear and casual outings as well.
How do I ensure I get the correct size for my child?
These shoes are a junior UK size 3. For the most accurate fit, it's always recommended to measure your child's foot length and compare it to the New Balance official size chart, if available.
What does `ABZORB` cushioning do?
`ABZORB` is a New Balance proprietary foam compound that provides optimal cushioning and compression resistance. It works to absorb impact forces and disperse energy, resulting in a more comfortable and responsive feel underfoot.
Can these shoes be used for other sports besides golf?
The grippy rubber outsole is designed with golf in mind, offering traction on grass and varied terrain. While they are comfortable for general active play, for specialized sports with unique demands (like competitive running or court sports), dedicated footwear may offer better performance and support.
Are these New Balance 740 golf shoes waterproof?
The product description highlights a 'breathable mesh' upper. This typically means the shoes offer limited water resistance and are not fully waterproof. For wet conditions, consider additional protective measures or waterproof footwear.
How should I clean the shoes to maintain their look and performance?
To clean, first brush off any loose dirt. Then, use a damp cloth with a mild soap solution to gently wipe down the breathable mesh and synthetic overlays. Clean the rubber outsole with a stiff brush and water. Always air dry away from direct heat.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel uncomfortable or sore after prolonged wear.
Ensure the shoes are laced correctly, providing snug support without being too tight. Check that your child is wearing appropriate sports socks. While `ABZORB` cushioning offers excellent comfort, an incorrect fit or worn-out socks can still cause discomfort.
Shoes feel slippery on certain surfaces.
Inspect the grippy rubber outsole for any embedded dirt, mud, or debris that might be reducing traction. Clean the outsole thoroughly. While designed for firm traction, extremely wet, muddy, or loose surfaces can still pose a challenge.
The mesh upper appears dirty or stained quickly.
The breathable mesh, while comfortable, can show dirt. Regularly clean the mesh and synthetic overlays with a damp cloth and a mild soap solution after each use, or as needed, to prevent dirt from setting in.
Shoes develop an odor.
Ensure shoes are fully air-dried after each use before storing. Consider using shoe deodorizers or placing cedar shoe trees inside when not in use to absorb moisture and odor. Regularly washing socks also helps.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Ensuring your junior's New Balance 740 Golf Shoes are properly set up and cared for will extend their lifespan and maintain performance.
Initial Setup
- Lacing: Ensure the shoes are laced securely but not overly tight. Proper lacing distributes pressure evenly across the foot for comfort and support.
- Fit Check: Have your child try on the shoes with their usual socks. Check that there is about a thumb's width space between their longest toe and the end of the shoe. The padded collar should feel snug but not restrictive around the ankle.
Compatibility
- Age Group: Designed specifically for kids.
- Size: This model is UK 3 (children's sizing). Ensure this matches the child's current foot size.
- Intended Use: Best suited for junior golf activities and general active wear.
Product Care
Proper care will keep your shoes looking good and performing well.
- Remove Loose Dirt: After each use, especially if worn on the golf course, gently brush off any loose dirt, mud, or grass from the outsole and upper using a soft brush.
- Clean the Upper: For the breathable mesh and synthetic overlays, use a damp cloth. A mild soap solution can be used for tougher stains. Gently wipe the affected areas. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Clean the Outsole: For the grippy rubber outsole, a stiff brush and water can be used to remove any embedded dirt or debris, ensuring maximum traction for the next use.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight. Stuffing them lightly with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
- Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures or humidity, which can degrade materials.
> Info needed: Specific recommendations for cleaning synthetic overlays if different from mesh.
