FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for sports?
The New Balance 740 trainers are designed for everyday wear and light activities. They are not intended for high-impact sports or specialized athletic training.
How do I determine the correct size?
It is recommended to measure your child's foot from heel to toe and compare it with the New Balance size chart. Ensure there is a little room for growth, but not so much that the shoe becomes loose.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the leather, suede, and adhesive components of the trainers.
What is the best way to clean the grey and blue materials?
Use a soft brush or a damp cloth for general cleaning. For tougher stains, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth. Allow to air dry.
Do these trainers come in other colours?
This specific model is grey and blue. Other variants of the New Balance 740 may be available in different colourways.
Are these trainers good for wide feet?
The fit can vary. The lace-up closure allows for some adjustability. If your child has particularly wide feet, it's advisable to try them on or consult specific width information if available.
What is the warranty period for these shoes?
Warranty information typically varies by retailer. Please check the product packaging or contact the retailer where the shoes were purchased for specific warranty details.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring a less constrictive fit. Check if the size is appropriate for the child's foot.
Dirt or scuff marks on the surface
Use a soft, damp cloth or a specialized shoe cleaner for leather and suede. For stubborn marks, a gentle brush may be effective. Always test cleaning solutions on an inconspicuous area first.
Laces fraying or breaking
Replace laces with standard shoelaces of similar length and thickness. Ensure laces are tied properly to minimize wear.
Sole feels stiff
Ensure the shoes are broken in properly by wearing them for short periods initially. The sole should become more flexible with use.
