Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your New Balance 740 trainers last as long as possible, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe away surface dirt with a soft, damp cloth. For mesh areas, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dust.
  2. Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as these can warp the materials.
  3. Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading.
  4. Compatibility: These trainers feature a standard lacing system. If your child struggles with laces, consider using elastic no-tie laces for easier on-and-off access.
