FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?
The New Balance 740 Toddler Trainers feature bungee elastic laces for a snug, slip-on fit. These laces are not adjustable, so while they offer a secure hold, they may not provide as customized a fit for very wide feet as trainers with traditional, adjustable laces.
How do I clean the New Balance 740 trainers?
To clean, gently wipe the mesh and synthetic overlays with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Clean the rubber outsole with a brush. Always air dry the trainers completely at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not machine wash.
What age range are these trainers designed for?
These trainers are specifically designed for toddlers. Please refer to the UK size indicated (e.g., Size 2.5) to ensure the correct fit for your child's developmental stage.
Do I need to tie the laces on these trainers?
No, the New Balance 740 Toddler Trainers feature bungee elastic laces. This design provides a secure and comfortable fit without the need for tying, making them very easy to put on and take off.
Is the ABZORB cushioning truly effective for active kids?
Yes, the ABZORB midsole is engineered to deliver significant cushioning and compression, which effectively absorbs impact. This helps to protect your child's feet and provide comfort during all their energetic activities, including running, jumping, and playing.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, while the trainers feature durable synthetic overlays, the breathable mesh upper is not designed to be waterproof. They are best suited for dry conditions to keep your child's feet comfortable.
Troubleshooting
Trainers feel too loose or too tight on my child's foot.
First, ensure you have the correct size. The bungee elastic laces are designed to provide a snug fit, but they are not adjustable. If the fit is consistently off, it might indicate an incorrect size for your child's foot shape. Consider having your child's feet measured again.
My child's feet seem to get sweaty.
While the trainers feature breathable mesh, active play can still lead to perspiration. Ensure your child is wearing appropriate, breathable socks made from cotton or moisture-wicking materials. Also, allow the trainers to air out completely after each use.
The trainers seem to have reduced traction.
Check the grippy rubber outsole for any embedded dirt, mud, or small stones. Clean the sole thoroughly with a brush and water to restore its traction. Ensure the surface your child is playing on is suitable and not excessively slippery.
The synthetic overlays appear scuffed or dirty.
Gently wipe the affected areas with a soft, damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. For persistent marks, a soft brush can be used, but always test on an inconspicuous area first. Regular cleaning helps maintain the appearance and durability.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup & First Use
Getting your New Balance 740 Toddler Trainers ready for action is straightforward:
- Unpack: Remove the trainers from their packaging.
- Inspect: Check the trainers for any damage or manufacturing defects.
- Fit: Have your child sit down. Open the shoe slightly by pulling the tongue forward if needed. Guide your child's foot into the trainer, ensuring their heel is fully seated at the back. The bungee elastic laces will provide an automatic snug fit.
- Check Fit: Ensure there's adequate room (about a thumb's width) between your child's longest toe and the end of the shoe. The fit around the foot should be snug but not uncomfortably tight.
Compatibility
- Age Group: These trainers are specifically designed for toddlers.
- Gender: With a unisex design, they are suitable for both boys and girls.
- Activity: Ideal for everyday wear, casual play, outdoor adventures, and light sporting activities due to their comfort and durability features.
Care & Maintenance
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your New Balance 740 trainers:
- Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the synthetic overlays and mesh material with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher dirt, use a small amount of mild soap diluted in water. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive scrubbers, which can damage the materials.
- Cleaning the Outsole: Use a brush or damp cloth to remove dirt, mud, or debris from the grippy rubber outsole to maintain optimal traction.
- Drying: Always air dry the trainers at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or artificial heat sources (like radiators or tumble dryers). Excessive heat can cause materials to shrink or warp.
- Storage: Store the trainers in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid storing them in damp environments to prevent mold or mildew.
- Avoid Machine Washing: Do not machine wash or submerge the trainers in water, as this can compromise the adhesives and materials.
