FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The New Balance 740 is designed as a lifestyle trainer based on archival designs. While comfortable for walking, they are not intended for long-distance or high-intensity athletic running.
How do I determine the correct size?
The 740 series uses standard UK adult sizing. It is recommended to measure your foot or compare with previous New Balance footwear for the best fit.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the adhesive and structural integrity of the mesh and overlays. Stick to hand cleaning.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, the open knit mesh construction is designed for breathability, meaning they are not waterproof and may absorb water in heavy rain.
What does the '740' series represent?
The 740 is a revival of a classic model from the New Balance archives, re-released to bring iconic 2000s design back to modern footwear collections.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt stuck in mesh upper
Use a dry, soft-bristled brush to gently dislodge debris before lightly dabbing with a damp cloth.
Creasing on overlays
Use shoe trees when not in use to help the shoe maintain its structural integrity and shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 740 trainers remain in top condition, proper maintenance is essential.
Care Instructions:
- Avoid machine washing; instead, spot clean with a soft brush, warm water, and mild detergent.
- Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to prevent material warping.
- Use a soft-bristled brush to regularly remove dust from the open knit mesh upper.
Compatibility:
These trainers are designed for standard adult foot shapes. Ensure you verify your UK sizing as these are available in a variety of half-sizes to accommodate a precise fit. Given the mesh upper, they are most compatible with spring and summer climates where airflow is beneficial.
