FAQs
Are the New Balance 740 trainers suitable for running?
These are primarily designed as lifestyle trainers for casual, everyday wear rather than for technical distance running.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the breathable open mesh upper is designed for airflow, not water resistance.
Can I put these trainers in the washing machine?
It is not recommended. Machine washing can damage the materials and compromise the structural integrity of the midsoles.
Is this a unisex model?
Yes, the New Balance 740 is designed as a unisex trainer suitable for various foot shapes and sizes.
How do I find my correct size?
These trainers follow standard adult sizing conventions. We recommend using your typical UK size, but keep in mind that individual fit preference can vary.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt in the mesh fibers
Use a soft brush to gently loosen the debris and vacuum with a low-suction nozzle or wipe away with a damp, soapy cloth.
Trainer feels slightly stiff out of the box
The upper and midsole will break in after a few hours of normal walking, allowing the materials to adapt to your foot shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 740 trainers remain in optimal condition, consider these care tips:
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush or a dry cloth to gently remove surface dirt from the mesh upper. For deeper cleaning, use a mild detergent mixed with water, but avoid saturating the shoes.
- Drying: Always air dry your trainers at room temperature. Never place them in a clothes dryer, as excessive heat can degrade the adhesives and warp the midsole foam.
- Storage: Keep your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading and material breakdown.
- Compatibility: These trainers fit standard adult sizing. If you wear orthotics, ensure you remove the factory-issued insole before inserting your custom orthotic for the best fit.
