FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The New Balance 740 has a standard fit, but the lace-up design allows for some adjustment in tightness to accommodate different foot volumes.
Can these be worn for running sports?
While inspired by running shoes, these are casual lifestyle sneakers. They are best suited for everyday play rather than competitive track or field events.
How do I determine the right size?
We recommend measuring the child's foot in centimeters and comparing it to the official New Balance sizing chart for an accurate UK 13 fit.
Is the mesh material durable?
The mesh is designed for breathability. While it is durable for everyday wear, it is not designed to withstand extreme abrasive surfaces.
Are the insoles removable?
The insoles in the New Balance 740 are generally designed to be standard; check if yours are loose if you need to insert custom orthotics.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming untied frequently
Consider double-knotting the laces or replacing them with elastic no-tie laces for a more secure, low-maintenance fit.
Mesh upper picking up dust
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dry debris from the mesh gaps before wiping with a damp cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 740 sneakers remain in good condition, follow these care steps:
- Cleaning: Wipe the surface with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt. Do not submerge the shoes in water or place them in a washing machine.
- Drying: Air dry the sneakers naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to maintain the color integrity of the grey finish.
- Compatibility: These trainers feature a standard lace-up system, providing a secure fit that can be adjusted based on the child's foot width.
