FAQs
Are New Balance 740 Trainers suitable for running?
The New Balance 740 is primarily designed for casual wear and light daily activities. While comfortable, it is not engineered with specialized running technologies, so for dedicated running, we recommend New Balance's performance running shoe lines.
How do I determine my correct size?
These trainers are listed in UK adult sizes. We recommend referring to the official New Balance sizing chart, often found on the product page or New Balance website, and measuring your foot length for the most accurate fit.
Can I machine wash my New Balance 740 Trainers?
No, machine washing is generally not recommended. It can damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure of the trainers. We advise hand cleaning with mild soap and water, then air drying.
What kind of socks should I wear with these trainers?
For optimal comfort and to prevent odor, wear breathable athletic or casual socks. Cotton or moisture-wicking synthetic blends are good choices, depending on your activity level.
What materials are used in the New Balance 740 Trainers?
The New Balance 740 features a breathable mesh upper combined with angular overlays, typically made from synthetic materials, to provide both comfort and structural support.
Will the brown color fade over time?
Like many footwear items, exposure to direct sunlight and general wear may cause slight color variations over time. Proper care and storage, as outlined in the care section, can help maintain their appearance.
Troubleshooting
Trainers feel too tight or loose
Ensure you have the correct size. Adjust lacing for a snug but comfortable fit. For a wider fit, consider loosening the lower laces. For a tighter fit, pull laces firmer across the arch.
Unpleasant odor develops
Allow trainers to air out after each wear. Use odor-absorbing inserts or sprinkle foot powder inside. Avoid wearing the same pair every day to allow them to fully dry.
Mesh upper appears dirty or stained
Gently clean the mesh with a soft brush or cloth dampened with a solution of mild soap and water. Avoid scrubbing aggressively. Wipe clean with a separate damp cloth and air dry.
Squeaking sound when walking
Check if the insole is properly seated; sometimes a loose insole can cause squeaking. If the squeak persists, try applying a small amount of baby powder under the insole.

Care
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your 740 Trainers:
- Regular Cleaning: Use a soft brush or cloth to remove loose dirt and dust from the mesh and overlays after each wear.
- Spot Cleaning: For tougher stains, gently clean with a damp cloth using a small amount of mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive materials.
- Drying: Always air dry your trainers away from direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
- Avoid Machine Washing: Machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape when not in use.
