FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While inspired by 2000s running shoes, the 740 is designed as a lifestyle trainer for daily wear and should not be used for competitive or high-mileage running.
Are these shoes unisex?
Yes, the New Balance 740 range is designed to accommodate various foot shapes and is suitable for all genders based on the selected size.
How do I ensure the correct size?
The New Balance 740 typically runs true to size. We recommend ordering the size you usually wear in other athletic footwear.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
We do not recommend machine washing, as this can degrade the materials and adhesives. Spot cleaning is the safest method.
What is the primary material used in the upper?
The upper is constructed primarily from open knit mesh, which provides durability and breathability.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on the white mesh
Gently scrub with a soft-bristled brush dipped in a solution of mild detergent and water, then pat dry with a clean cloth.
Tightness across the midfoot
Adjust the lace tension by starting from the bottom eyelets and loosening them evenly toward the top to relieve pressure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best fit, ensure you are selecting your standard size as the 740 follows traditional New Balance sizing protocols. To maintain the condition of your trainers, spot clean the upper mesh with a soft brush and mild soap. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh chemicals, which can damage the structural integrity of the overlays. Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent discoloration of the mesh material. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators.
