Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your New Balance 740s, it is important to follow proper maintenance steps. Since these trainers use a combination of leather and mesh, avoid submerging them in water or using harsh chemicals during cleaning. Instead, use a soft-bristled brush to remove loose dirt from the mesh panels and a damp cloth to wipe down the leather sections. Air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the leather to crack or the glue to degrade.
