Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because the 740 utilizes a performance-based polyester mesh, maintaining their condition requires specific attention. To clean, use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface debris after outdoor use. For deeper cleaning, apply a small amount of mild detergent to a dampened cloth and gently blot the mesh areas; avoid soaking the shoe entirely, as this can degrade the internal cushioning. To maintain shape, store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, and ensure you tie the laces firmly to benefit from the intended arch support and structure of the 740 frame.
