FAQs
Is the New Balance 740 suitable for running?
While based on a vintage running silhouette, the 740 is best utilized as a lifestyle trainer for walking and daily activities.
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard adult sizing, though preferences can vary based on individual foot width.
How do I maintain the white color?
Clean regularly using a soft brush to prevent dirt from setting into the mesh, and spot clean with mild soapy water.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash your trainers, as it can damage the structural materials and glues.
What is the primary material used in the upper?
The upper is constructed primarily from an open knit mesh combined with synthetic angular overlays for structure.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on the mesh upper
Gently clean with a soft brush or a damp cloth using mild soap and allow it to air dry.
Foot discomfort or pressure points
Ensure the laces are adjusted correctly and consider using a thinner or thicker sock to adjust the internal fit.
Midsole feels less cushioned over time
While foam compression is normal, replacing the insole with a high-quality aftermarket option can extend the comfort life of the shoe.
Pros and Cons
Pros

Cons
- Primarily designed for lifestyle use, not long-distance endurance running

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 740 trainers remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Fit: The shoes follow standard sizing for adult footwear. Ensure you have adequate room in the toe box for natural movement.
- Cleaning: Due to the mesh upper, avoid machine washing. Instead, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dried dirt. For stains, apply a mild detergent diluted with water to a cloth and gently wipe the affected areas.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration of the white and grey materials.
- Drying: Always air dry at room temperature. Never place near direct heat sources like radiators, as this may damage the materials or cause the adhesive to lose strength.
