FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for sports?
The New Balance 740 Lace trainers are designed for general wear, school, and light recreational activities. For specialized sports requiring specific performance features like advanced ankle support or grip, a dedicated athletic shoe may be more appropriate.
What is the best way to clean the white and grey colors?
Wipe with a damp cloth for daily dirt. For more significant cleaning, use a mild soap and water solution with a soft brush. Always air dry away from direct heat.
How do I ensure the best fit for my child?
Measure your child's foot length and width, comparing it to the New Balance sizing chart. Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between the longest toe and the end of the shoe when they are standing.
Can these trainers be worn in wet conditions?
These trainers are not waterproof. While they can handle light splashes, they are not designed for prolonged exposure to wet conditions. It's best to keep them dry and clean them thoroughly if they do get wet.
What material are these trainers made of?
The product description indicates a timeless silhouette with soft cushioning, suggesting a combination of synthetic materials and textiles for durability and comfort. Specific material composition may vary.
How do the laces work for kids?
The trainers feature a traditional lace-up system, allowing for an adjustable and secure fit. Parents may need to assist younger children with tying their laces until they learn.
Troubleshooting
Laces keep coming undone
Ensure laces are tied using a double knot. Check that the laces are not excessively worn or slippery; consider replacing them if needed.
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring there is enough room for the foot. Check if the correct size has been selected, as children's feet grow quickly.
Difficulty cleaning white areas
Use a soft-bristled brush with a mixture of mild soap and water. For stubborn marks, a magic eraser can be used gently on the midsole, but test on an inconspicuous area first.
Insole feels uncomfortable
Ensure the insole is correctly positioned. If discomfort persists, consider purchasing compatible aftermarket insoles designed for added support or cushioning.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers require no special setup beyond lacing them to fit the wearer's foot. Ensure the laces are tied securely but not too tightly to avoid restricting circulation.
Compatibility: Suitable for general everyday wear, school, and light recreational activities. They are designed for children's feet and are compatible with standard sock wear.
Care: To maintain the appearance and lifespan of your New Balance 740 Lace trainers:
- Cleaning: Wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, use a mild soap and water solution with a soft brush. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
- Laces: Remove laces for separate cleaning if heavily soiled. Hand wash or machine wash in a gentle cycle, then air dry.
