FAQs
Are the New Balance 740 Trainers suitable for running?
The New Balance 740 Trainers are primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear, drawing inspiration from their heritage. While comfortable for walking and everyday activities, they are not engineered with the specific support and cushioning technology required for high-performance running.
How do I choose the correct size?
It is recommended to refer to New Balance's official sizing guide, which can usually be found on their website. If possible, try them on at the end of the day when your feet are at their largest. The 740 series typically runs true to New Balance's standard sizing.
Can I machine wash my New Balance 740 Trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended. It can damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure of the trainers. Please follow the spot cleaning and air drying instructions provided in the 'Care and Maintenance' section.
What kind of socks should I wear with these trainers?
For optimal comfort and to take advantage of the breathable mesh upper, it's best to wear moisture-wicking athletic or casual socks. This helps prevent sweat build-up and maintains foot hygiene.
Are these trainers waterproof?
The New Balance 740 Trainers feature a breathable mesh upper, which is not designed to be waterproof. They will offer minimal protection in wet conditions. For rainy weather, waterproof footwear would be a more suitable choice.
Troubleshooting
Trainers feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.
The New Balance 740s may require a brief 'break-in' period. Wear them for short durations (e.g., 1-2 hours) over a few days to allow the materials to soften and conform to your foot's unique shape. This is common with new footwear.
Foot odor develops after extended wear.
Ensure you wear breathable socks made from moisture-wicking materials. After wearing, remove insoles (if removable) to allow them to air out. You can also use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the trainers overnight to absorb odors.
Mesh upper appears dirty or stained.
Gently clean the mesh using a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) or a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap. Work in small circular motions, then wipe with a clean damp cloth. Allow to air dry completely.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
First-Time Use & Setup

Care and Maintenance
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the aesthetic appeal of your 740 Trainers:
- Spot Cleaning: For minor dirt and scuffs, use a soft brush or a damp cloth with mild soap. Gently scrub the affected areas. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Mesh Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush (like an old toothbrush) and a small amount of mild detergent mixed with water to gently clean the mesh upper.
- Sole Cleaning: A firm brush can be used to remove dirt and debris from the outsole.
- Drying: Always air dry your trainers at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or using artificial heat sources (like radiators or tumble dryers) as this can damage materials.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
- Avoid Submerging: Do not machine wash or submerge the entire shoe in water, as this can degrade materials and adhesives.
Following these care tips will help keep your New Balance 740 Trainers looking their best for longer.
