Product Information
Full details
The New Balance 740 Trainers are designed for active children who need a reliable, stylish shoe for daily wear. Drawing inspiration from 2000s-era running aesthetics, these sneakers provide a lightweight and supportive fit suitable for both the playground and casual outings. While they offer excellent versatility and modern comfort, the open-mesh construction means they are best suited for dry weather conditions rather than heavy rain.

FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, machine washing can damage the structural integrity of the mesh and the midsole. Clean by hand with a damp cloth.
Are the New Balance 740s suitable for wide feet?
The 740 series features a standard fit. If your child has particularly wide feet, ensure the laces are loosened significantly or consider a half-size adjustment.
Can these be used for sports?
They are designed as lifestyle trainers. While they are comfortable for general play, they are not specialized performance shoes for competitive athletics.
What is the primary material used in the upper?
The upper is constructed primarily from a breathable open mesh material, supported by synthetic angular overlays.
How do I find the right size for my child?
Measure the child's foot in centimeters or inches and refer to the official New Balance children's size guide for UK measurements.
Troubleshooting
Trainer feels slightly loose or tight
Adjust the lace tension specifically at the midfoot to secure the heel, or consider using a different insole if support needs vary.
Accumulated dirt in mesh pores
Use a soft dry brush to gently flick out dried debris; do not push dirt deeper into the fabric.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your New Balance 740 trainers, keep them away from mud and heavy puddles due to the porous nature of the open mesh. For cleaning, remove loose dirt using a soft-bristled brush. Wipe the surfaces with a damp cloth and mild, non-detergent soap if necessary. Avoid machine washing or using high-heat dryers, as this can degrade the adhesives and warp the mesh structure. Air dry in a cool, shaded area away from direct sunlight.
