FAQs
What age range are these trainers suitable for?
These trainers are designed for toddlers. Please refer to a New Balance sizing chart, specifically for toddler foot measurements, to ensure you select the correct size for your child's foot length and age group.
Can I machine wash these New Balance 740 trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended. It can damage the materials, cushioning, and overall structure of the trainers. We advise cleaning them manually with a damp cloth and mild soap.
Are these trainers good for wide feet?
New Balance typically offers a comfortable fit. While specific width options are not always available for toddler sizes, the design aims for general comfort. For concerns about wide feet, it's best to consult a sizing guide or try them on to ensure adequate room.
How often should I check my toddler's shoe size?
Toddlers' feet grow rapidly. It's recommended to check their shoe size every 2-3 months to ensure a proper fit and replace the trainers when they are outgrown or show significant signs of wear and tear.
Are these trainers suitable for all types of activities?
The New Balance 740 trainers are designed for active play and everyday wear, making them suitable for running, jumping, and general indoor and outdoor activities. They provide supportive cushioning for light to moderate activity levels.
How do I deal with scuffs or marks on the white parts?
For light scuffs, a simple eraser or a melamine foam sponge (like a 'magic eraser') can often gently lift marks from the white surfaces. For tougher dirt, use a mild shoe cleaner and a soft brush as described in the care section.
Troubleshooting
My toddler complains the shoes are uncomfortable.
First, check the fit. Ensure there's a thumb's width space between the longest toe and the end of the shoe. Also, inspect for any bunched socks, debris inside, or if the shoe is fastened too tightly. Re-adjust as necessary.
The white parts of the trainers get dirty very quickly.
Regularly wipe down the trainers with a damp cloth after outdoor play. For tougher stains, use a mild athletic shoe cleaner with a soft brush, focusing on the affected areas, then wipe clean and air dry.
The trainers seem to be wearing out faster than expected.
Toddlers are very active, and wear and tear are common. Ensure the trainers are primarily used for their intended purpose (active play) and not for highly abrasive activities. Consider rotating with other shoes if worn daily for very high-impact activities to extend their lifespan.
My toddler's feet seem sweaty or warm in the shoes.
Ensure your child is wearing breathable socks made from cotton or moisture-wicking materials. The trainers feature breathable materials, but proper socks help manage foot climate. Allow shoes to air out completely after each use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup
- Sizing Check: Before first use, ensure the trainers fit correctly. There should be about a thumb's width of space between your child's longest toe and the end of the shoe.
- Proper Fastening: Ensure your toddler's foot is properly seated within the trainer. *Info needed: Please refer to the specific closure type (e.g., Velcro straps or laces) for fastening instructions. Securely fasten to prevent slipping but avoid overtightening.*
- Initial Wear: Encourage your child to wear the trainers for short periods initially to get accustomed to them, especially if they are new to walking or a new shoe style.
Compatibility
These New Balance 740 trainers are designed for toddlers, specified as unisex. Their versatile design and supportive features make them suitable for a wide range of everyday activities and for both boys and girls. They are an excellent choice for children who require comfortable and stable footwear for active play.
Care
Maintaining the cleanliness and integrity of your New Balance 740 trainers is simple:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe away dirt and grime using a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. For tougher marks on the white sections, a soft brush can be used with care.
- Drying: Always air dry the trainers away from direct heat sources or sunlight, as excessive heat can damage materials. Do not use a machine dryer.
- Avoid Machine Washing: Machine washing is not recommended as it can compromise the structure and materials of the trainers, particularly the cushioning and adhesives.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
