FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

While inspired by 2000s running shoes, the 740 is primarily designed as a lifestyle trainer for casual wear.

How do I determine my size?

New Balance typically follows standard UK sizing; refer to the manufacturer's size chart to ensure the best fit.

Can these be washed in a machine?

No, machine washing can damage the adhesive and structural integrity of the mesh and overlays.

Are they waterproof?

The open-knit mesh is breathable, not waterproof; it is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain.

Are these shoes unisex?

The 740 series includes various models suited for different genders, though many designs share a similar unisex aesthetic.

Troubleshooting

Visible dirt on mesh

Use a soft-bristled brush to gently dislodge debris before wiping with a damp cloth.

Creasing or loss of shape

Stuff the shoes with shoe trees or paper when not in use to preserve the silhouette.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your New Balance 740 trainers stay in peak condition, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade the colors. For cleaning, avoid the washing machine; instead, gently wipe the mesh and overlays with a soft, damp cloth and a mild soap solution. Allow them to air dry naturally away from heat sources to maintain the shape of the foam midsole. If the insoles become damp, remove them to speed up the drying process.
