Is the New Balance 740 good for wide feet?

Yes. It comes in both medium and wide widths, and owners with broader-footed kids single out the wide option as a good fit.

What sizes does it come in?

The range runs from toddler sizes up to UK 3.5–10.5, covering boys' and girls' kids' sizing.

Is it a real running shoe?

It is styled after 2000s running shoes and has a cushioned segmented midsole, but it is a casual sneaker best suited to everyday wear rather than training.

Does it run true to size?

Most buyers find it true to size, though some report it running slightly small, so sizing up half a size is a reasonable hedge.

Is it breathable for summer?

Yes. The mesh upper is breathable and the shoe is listed for spring, summer and winter wear.
