Full details

Ideal for school days, play, and casual outings, these trainers offer an aerodynamic silhouette and breathable support; however, their performance-oriented design is best suited for dry conditions rather than wet or muddy terrain.

FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, machine washing can damage the structural integrity and materials. Please hand-clean them instead.
Are the New Balance 740 trainers true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard UK children's sizing. We recommend checking the size guide to ensure a perfect fit.
What age group are these for?
These trainers are specifically designed for children.
Can these be worn in the rain?
They are made with breathable mesh, which may allow water to soak through. They are best suited for dry, fair weather.
Does the 740 provide good arch support?
The 740 offers a comfortable, cushioned base suitable for daily walking and school play, though it is not a medically corrective shoe.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to insert orthotics if required.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on mesh
Use a dry soft brush to remove loose dirt before gently dabbing with a damp cloth and mild soap.
Odour buildup
Remove the insoles to air out, or use a fabric-safe sneaker deodorizing spray inside the shoe.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers require no special setup; ensure the correct UK size is chosen using the New Balance standard size chart. To maintain the shoes, avoid machine washing. Instead, spot clean the mesh and overlay components with a soft-bristled brush, mild soap, and cold water. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which could degrade the adhesive or distort the midsole foam.
