FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Use a soft brush or a damp cloth to clean them to extend their lifespan.
Are these suitable for sports?
While the 740 series is excellent for general activity and school, they are designed as casual trainers rather than technical performance athletic shoes.
What does the black and silver colourway look like?
The base is primarily black, providing a neutral, clean look, with silver accents that provide a modern, metallic touch for added visual interest.
How do I ensure the correct size?
Measure your child's feet at the end of the day when they are at their largest, and refer to standard UK sizing charts to ensure there is about half an inch of room for growth.
Can the insoles be removed?
Yes, the insoles are typically removable if you need to air them out or replace them with custom orthotics.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight across the top of the foot
Try a different lacing technique, such as the window lacing method, to relieve pressure on the midfoot.
Outer sole loses grip on slippery surfaces
Check if the tread is clogged with debris or mud; clean the outsoles thoroughly with a brush and water.
Laces constantly come undone
Ensure you are using a double knot or look for laces with better texture if they have been replaced.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 740 trainers remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Fitting: When putting the shoes on, ensure the laces are loosened so the foot slides in comfortably without forcing the heel counter, which can cause damage.
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt from the outsole. For the upper, gently wipe with a cloth dampened with cool water and mild soap. Avoid soaking the shoes or using a washing machine, as high heat and heavy agitation can compromise the integrity of the materials.
- Drying: Always air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the materials or cause glue separation.
- Storage: Keep them in a cool, dry place to prevent mildew and maintain the shape of the foam interior.
