FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

While inspired by 2000s running shoes, the 740 is primarily designed as a lifestyle sneaker for casual, everyday use.

Are the New Balance 740s unisex?

Yes, this model features a unisex design suitable for all adults.

How do I ensure the correct size?

These trainers generally follow standard adult sizing conventions. We recommend checking your foot length against a standard New Balance size chart.

Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?

No, machine washing can damage the mesh and adhesives. Stick to spot cleaning with a soft brush and mild detergent.

What materials are used for the upper?

The upper is constructed from an open-knit mesh combined with structured angular overlays.

Troubleshooting

Visible dirt on the mesh fabric

Use a soft brush to gently remove surface debris, followed by a light wipe with a damp, soapy cloth.

Use cedar shoe trees when not wearing to help maintain the structural shape of the upper.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your New Balance 740 trainers remain in top condition, follow these simple guidelines:

  1. Fit: These trainers follow standard sizing; however, ensure you test them with the socks you intend to wear most frequently.
  2. Care: To clean the mesh upper, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt. For tougher stains, use a mild detergent mixed with water and a soft cloth; avoid fully submerging the shoes in water.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the vibrancy of the colors and prevent the material from becoming brittle over time.
  4. Maintenance: Allow your shoes to air dry naturally away from artificial heat sources like radiators, which can warp the materials.
