FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

While inspired by archival running designs, the 740 is a lifestyle trainer intended for casual daily wear, not high-intensity athletic performance.

Does the 740 fit true to size?

Yes, the New Balance 740 generally fits true to the standard New Balance sizing scale for adults.

How do I know if my pair is leather or polyester?

The material composition is listed on the internal product label inside the tongue of the shoe.

Can I put these trainers in the washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash your trainers, as this can damage the adhesives and materials. Hand cleaning is the safest method.

Is the 740 model unisex?

Yes, the 740 is designed as a unisex model to accommodate a wide range of adult sizes and styles.

Troubleshooting

Visible dirt on the upper material

Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface debris, followed by a damp cloth with mild soap for persistent spots.

Creasing on the toe box

This is a natural occurrence in leather footwear; using shoe trees when not in use can help maintain the shape and minimize deep creases.

Midsole feeling less cushioned

After extensive wear, consider replacing the factory insoles with high-quality aftermarket inserts to restore underfoot comfort.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because the New Balance 740 uses mixed materials across different size runs, care instructions depend on your specific pair. For leather-based models, use a high-quality leather cleaner and a soft brush to remove dirt. For polyester models, spot cleaning with a mild detergent and a damp cloth is recommended. Avoid submerging the trainers in water or using harsh chemical solvents. Ensure you store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the materials. Check your specific product tag to confirm if your size is made of leather or polyester to apply the appropriate maintenance method.
