Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on the mesh upper
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove loose debris, then wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap.
Laces coming undone frequently

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 740 trainers remain in top condition, follow these simple care steps. For nylon or polyester models, you can typically wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth and mild detergent. If you have a leather-variant model, use a dedicated leather cleaner to maintain the integrity of the material. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying, as high heat can compromise the adhesive in the midsole and the shape of the upper mesh. Always store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent premature fading of the grey colorway.
