FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?

While based on a running archive, the 740 is primarily designed for lifestyle and casual use rather than long-distance training.

Does the 740 feature a wide fit?

The 740 has a streamlined silhouette which may feel snug; if you prefer more room, you may want to size up by half a size.

How do I maintain the leather parts?

Use a dedicated leather conditioner periodically to keep the material supple and prevent cracking.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

No, machine washing can damage the adhesive and the structural integrity of the leather overlays. Hand cleaning is recommended.

Is the sole non-marking?

Yes, the rubber compound used in the outsole is generally safe for indoor gym floors.

Troubleshooting

Creasing in the leather overlays

Use cedar shoe trees when not in use to maintain the shape and minimize deep creases.

Mesh becoming discolored

Spot clean only using a mixture of warm water and a tiny amount of mild dish soap, then pat dry immediately.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your New Balance 740s last, it is essential to follow proper care protocols. Because these trainers utilize a mix of leather and mesh, avoid soaking them in water or using harsh detergents. Instead, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the mesh and a damp cloth with a mild leather cleaner for the overlays. For compatibility, these unisex trainers run true to standard New Balance sizing. If you have particularly wide feet, consider wearing slightly thinner socks to accommodate the streamlined fit of the 740 silhouette. Always allow your shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to preserve the integrity of the materials.
