Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too loose or too tight.
Adjust the lace closure. Ensure laces are snug but not uncomfortably tight. For best results, re-lace from the bottom up to ensure even tension.
Shoes get dirty quickly from active play.
Regularly spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. For tough dirt, use a soft brush. Consistent cleaning prevents dirt buildup and maintains appearance.
Feet feel hot or sweaty after prolonged wear.
While the mesh provides breathability, ensure your child is wearing appropriate socks (e.g., moisture-wicking materials). Allow shoes to air out completely after each use.
Laces come untied frequently.
Teach your child how to tie a double knot for added security. Regularly check laces for wear and replace them if they become frayed.

Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your New Balance 740 sneakers.
- Spot Cleaning: For light dirt and scuffs, use a soft cloth or sponge dampened with cool water and a small amount of mild soap (e.g., dish soap).
- Gently rub the affected areas.
- Wipe clean with a separate damp cloth to remove soap residue.
- Drying: Always allow shoes to air dry completely at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage materials.
- Deep Cleaning (Infrequent): For more significant dirt, remove laces and insoles if possible. You can hand wash the upper with a soft brush and mild detergent. Rinse thoroughly and air dry.
- Avoid Machine Washing: Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage the shoe's structure, adhesives, and materials.
- Odor Control: If odors develop, remove insoles and allow the shoes to air out. Shoe deodorizers or baking soda can also be used inside the shoes overnight.
