FAQs
Are the New Balance 740N trainers waterproof?
No, they feature an open-knit mesh upper for breathability, which means they are not waterproof.
Are these suitable for professional running?
While inspired by 2000s running shoes, the 740N is categorized as a lifestyle trainer and is not designed for competitive or professional athletic performance.
How do I determine my size?
These trainers use standard UK adult sizing. It is best to measure your foot and compare it to the standard New Balance size guide.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to wash these in a machine, as the heat and agitation can damage the materials and glue. Hand cleaning is preferred.
Are they unisex?
The New Balance 740 series often features unisex designs, though specific listings may indicate primary sizing for men or women.
What is the primary material used?
The shoes feature a combination of synthetic open-knit mesh and structured angular overlays for support.
Troubleshooting
Outer mesh appears dusty or stained
Gently scrub with a dry, soft brush. If dirt persists, use a damp cloth with a tiny amount of mild detergent.
Midsole feels stiff after long storage
Gently flex the sole by hand or wear them around the house for an hour; the materials are designed to become more responsive with movement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your 740N trainers remain in top condition, we recommend following these guidelines:
- Fit: Ensure you are wearing your correct UK size. New Balance sizes typically follow standard athletic sizing, so consider the volume of your socks.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the mesh. For deeper stains, use a mild soap and a damp cloth; avoid soaking the shoe entirely to protect the adhesives and structural integrity of the overlays.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade the colors of the mesh over time.
- Maintenance: Allow the shoes to air out after heavy use to prevent moisture buildup within the internal lining.
