FAQs
Are the New Balance 740 Trainers true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard New Balance sizing. If you are between sizes, consider trying the larger size for extra comfort.
Can I use these for running?
While the 740 is inspired by performance running shoes, it is designed as a lifestyle trainer for casual use, not for high-intensity or long-distance running.
How do I maintain the white color?
Regularly brush off dust and spot clean immediately with a damp cloth if spills occur to prevent stains from setting into the mesh.
Are these shoes unisex?
Yes, the 740 model is designed as a unisex trainer, suitable for all genders.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper is constructed primarily from an open-knit mesh material with synthetic angular overlays for added support.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt build-up in the mesh
Use a soft brush to dislodge particles and wipe with a damp cloth; do not submerge the shoes.
Creasing near the toe box
Insert a shoe tree when not in use to help the material retain its shape and reduce the appearance of creases.
Odors from daily wear
Remove the insoles to air them out separately and use a shoe deodorizer spray safe for synthetic fabrics.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 740 Trainers last, regular care is essential. Since the upper consists of open-knit mesh and specific overlays, avoid machine washing, which can damage the glue bonds and distort the shape.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dust and dirt. For stains on the mesh, use a mild soap mixed with water and gently dab the area with a microfiber cloth.
- Drying: Always air dry the shoes away from direct sunlight or extreme heat sources, as these can cause the materials to warp or discolor.
- Storage: Keep them in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain the integrity of the silhouette over time.
- Compatibility: These unisex trainers are highly versatile and pair well with both technical streetwear and classic denim.
