FAQs

Are the New Balance 740 trainers suitable for running?

These are primarily designed as lifestyle and casual trainers. While they feature heritage running aesthetics, they are not intended for high-performance athletic training.

Do these shoes run true to size?

Yes, they generally follow standard sizing conventions for unisex adult New Balance footwear.

Is the upper material waterproof?

No, the shoes are made with an open knit mesh, which is highly breathable but is not water-resistant.

Can I replace the insoles?

Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics if required.

What is the best way to clean the Grey and Blue fabric?

Use a damp cloth with mild soap. Test a small, inconspicuous area first to ensure colorfastness before cleaning the entire shoe.

Troubleshooting

Creasing in the toe box area

This is a natural occurrence in mesh-based trainers. Use a shoe tree when storing the sneakers to help them retain their shape.

Difficulty cleaning the mesh material

Avoid harsh scrubbing. Instead, use a specialized sneaker cleaning foam and a soft-bristled brush to lift dirt out of the knit gaps.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Lightweight and breathable design for all-day wear
  • Versatile aesthetic suitable for multiple casual styles
  • Ergonomic midsole design promotes natural foot flex
  • Durable construction with high-quality overlays

Cons

  • Not intended for technical sports or performance running
  • Open knit mesh allows water ingress in wet weather
  • Grey and Blue color palette may show dirt more easily than darker options

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your New Balance 740 trainers maintain their shape and aesthetic, follow these guidelines:

  1. Sizing: These are standard unisex adult trainers. Ensure you verify your UK shoe size for the best fit.
  2. Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dust from the mesh. For deeper stains, use a mild, ph-neutral soap solution with a damp cloth; avoid submerging the shoes in water.
  3. Drying: Always air dry your sneakers at room temperature away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can degrade the adhesive and fabric.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry area. Using a shoe tree can help maintain the structure of the silhouette when not in use.
