FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While the 740 is modeled after 2000s running shoes, it is designed primarily as a lifestyle trainer for casual, everyday wear.
How should I clean the mesh upper?
Spot clean the mesh with a soft brush or damp cloth. Avoid submerging the shoes or using harsh chemicals.
Do these shoes fit true to size?
Yes, the New Balance 740 generally fits true to size, but we recommend ordering your standard athletic shoe size.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, the open mesh upper is designed for breathability and will not keep your feet dry in rainy conditions.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are typically removable if you need to insert your own custom orthotics.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on the open mesh fabric
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dry debris. If stubborn stains persist, dab with a cloth soaked in a mixture of water and mild detergent.
Creasing on the overlays
This is a natural occurrence due to the flexibility of the materials. Using a shoe horn when putting on the trainers can help reduce excessive stress on the heel and upper structure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 740 trainers last as long as possible, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. For cleaning, avoid the washing machine; instead, use a soft brush or a damp cloth with mild soap to gently remove surface dirt from the mesh and synthetic overlays. To maintain the shape, use shoe trees or lightly stuff them with paper when they are damp from cleaning or moisture. These trainers fit true to size for most users, but ensure you select your standard UK sizing to allow for the intended volume of the toe box.
