FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard sizing, but it is recommended to check the specific UK size conversion if you are between sizes.
Can I use these for marathon running?
The 740 is a lifestyle-focused trainer inspired by running heritage and is not designed for the demands of long-distance competitive running.
How do I clean the white portions of the sole?
A magic eraser or a simple mixture of baking soda and water applied with an old toothbrush can help restore the brightness of the white midsole.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The streamlined design provides a standard fit, but the mesh material has some natural flexibility which may accommodate varied foot shapes comfortably.
Can I remove the insole?
Yes, the insoles are typically removable if you prefer to use your own custom orthotics.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight after prolonged wear
Feet often swell slightly during the day. Ensure laces are not tied too tightly in the morning, or consider thinner socks.
Mesh upper is attracting dirt
Use a specialized sneaker cleaning foam and a soft-bristled brush to gently lift dirt from the knit fabric.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 740 trainers remain in excellent condition, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt from the mesh and sole. For deeper stains, use a mild soap and water solution with a soft cloth. Do not machine wash.
- Drying: Air dry only at room temperature. Keep away from direct heat sources like radiators, as these can warp the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent material fading.
- Compatibility: These are standard unisex trainers; consider wearing athletic socks for the best fit and moisture-wicking performance.
