Can I use these for long-distance running?
While the 740 was originally designed as a high-mileage running shoe in the 2000s, modern advancements in footwear technology make it better suited for daily walking and lifestyle use today.
How should I clean the two-tone mesh?

Are these shoes unisex?

What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper is primarily composed of breathable open mesh, which is a hallmark of the 2000s aesthetic the series is known for.
Troubleshooting
Mesh upper accumulating dirt and debris
Use a soft-bristled brush or an old toothbrush to gently scrub the mesh. Avoid harsh detergents that can bleach the fabric.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 740 trainers maintain their aesthetic and structural integrity, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the mesh and synthetic overlays. For deeper stains, use a mild soap and a damp cloth; avoid total immersion in water.
- Storage: Keep your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material fading or glue degradation.
- Drying: If the shoes become wet, air dry them naturally at room temperature. Avoid heat sources like radiators or hair dryers, which can warp the materials.
- Compatibility: These trainers fit true to standard adult sizing; it is recommended to wear them with moisture-wicking socks to maximize the benefits of the breathable mesh upper.
