The New Balance 740 is engineered for the dynamic lives of infants and young children. The ABZORB midsole is crucial for playground adventures, absorbing the shock from jumps, runs, and unexpected tumbles, reducing strain on developing feet. The synthetic and mesh upper means little feet stay comfortable and less sweaty, even during energetic play sessions in the backyard or at daycare.
Its durable construction, reinforced by sleek overlays, ensures the shoe stands up to daily wear and tear, whether it's scuffing along pavements or navigating rough terrain. The lace closure provides a customizable and secure fit, preventing the shoe from slipping off during fast movements.

Drying: Air dry at room temperature. Do not use direct heat (e.g., dryer, radiator) as it can damage materials.

Deodorizing: Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside to manage odors, then shake out thoroughly.
