FAQs

Is the New Balance 740 V2 suitable for running?

While the 740 is based on a vintage running archive, it is designed primarily as a lifestyle trainer for casual use rather than professional athletic running.

What materials are used in the construction?

The upper combines breathable open knit mesh with durable leather overlays for a balance of comfort and structure.

How should I clean the leather parts?

Use a specialized leather cleaner or a damp cloth with mild soap, followed by a dry cloth, avoiding harsh chemicals.

Are the insoles removable?

Yes, the insoles are removable, making the shoes compatible with custom orthotics if needed.

Do these shoes run true to size?

Most users find the 740 V2 fits true to standard New Balance sizing, but consider your preferred roominess when selecting your UK size.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

While durable, the open knit mesh is breathable and not waterproof; it is best to avoid heavy rain to protect the materials.

Troubleshooting

Creasing on the leather overlays

This is a natural occurrence with genuine leather; use a shoe tree when not wearing to help maintain the original shape.

Difficulty cleaning the mesh fabric

Avoid washing machines; instead, use a dedicated sneaker cleaning foam and a soft brush to gently lift dirt from the knit fibers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your New Balance 740 V2 trainers remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:

  • Break-in Period: While comfortable out of the box, give the leather and mesh a few short wears to adapt to your foot shape.
  • Cleaning: Wipe away surface dirt with a soft, dry cloth. For the mesh sections, use a soft-bristled brush with a mild soap solution, avoiding excessive water saturation.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather drying or material discoloration.
  • Insole Maintenance: If you use custom orthotics, the factory insoles are removable to ensure proper fit and compatibility.
