How do I ensure the correct size?

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 740 trainers remain in top condition, follow these simple guidelines:
- Fit: These trainers follow standard sizing; however, ensure you test them with the socks you intend to wear most frequently.
- 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.
- 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.
- Maintenance: Allow your shoes to air dry naturally away from artificial heat sources like radiators, which can warp the materials.
