Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Getting your New Balance 740 shoes ready for wear is straightforward:
- Position the Foot: Ensure the child's foot is properly aligned inside the shoe, with the heel comfortably seated.
- Lace Securely: Tighten the laces evenly to achieve a snug, comfortable fit. Avoid overtightening, which can restrict circulation.
- Check for Comfort: Have the child walk a few steps to ensure the fit is correct and there are no pressure points.
Compatibility
These shoes are designed for children who wear a UK size 1. They feature a unisex design, making them suitable for both boys and girls. They are best suited for general daily wear, school, and active play.
Care
Proper care extends the life and appearance of your shoes:
- Cleaning: Wipe down visible dirt with a soft, damp cloth immediately after use. For tougher stains, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then wipe clean. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Drying: Always allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Never place them directly on a radiator, in direct sunlight, or use a hairdryer, as extreme heat can damage materials.
- Storage: Store your New Balance 740 shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
- Odour Control: To help manage odors, consider using shoe deodorizers or placing a small amount of baking soda in the shoes overnight (inside a sock or cloth bag) to absorb moisture and smells.
