To ensure your New Balance 740 trainers remain in top condition, proper care is essential based on the material. For leather versions, use a soft cloth and a leather-safe cleaner to remove surface dust. For polyester mesh models, you can lightly dab the fabric with a mixture of mild soap and water to spot-clean, avoiding submerging the shoes. Always air dry your trainers naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the materials or damage the adhesive. When storing, keep them in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture buildup within the midsole.
