FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

While based on a running archive, the 740 is now optimized for lifestyle and casual wear rather than technical athletic performance.

How do I determine my size?

These trainers follow standard adult sizing. It is recommended to choose the size that matches your regular New Balance footwear.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash your trainers, as it can damage the glues and materials. Hand cleaning is the safest method.

Are these unisex?

While specific sizes are listed for genders, the 740 design is versatile and suitable for anyone who finds their correct size.

What is the primary material?

The upper is constructed from an open knit mesh, which is synthetic and designed for breathability.

Troubleshooting

Visible dirt trapped in mesh

Use a soft-bristled brush or a dry toothbrush to gently dislodge particles from the knit pattern.

Creasing on the midsole

This is normal with EVA-based midsoles; rotating your shoes daily allows the foam to decompress and return to its original shape.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Lightweight and breathable construction
  • Iconic, versatile 2000s design
  • Comfortable for all-day casual wear
  • Durable structural support from angular overlays

Cons

  • Not intended for high-performance long-distance running
  • Limited water resistance due to open knit mesh
  • Requires regular cleaning to maintain mesh appearance

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because these are lifestyle trainers, no specific technical setup is required; ensure the fit is correct by wearing the socks you intend to use most frequently. To keep your New Balance 740s in top condition, remove surface dirt with a soft brush after wear. If the mesh becomes soiled, use a damp cloth with mild, soapy water. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh detergents, as this can degrade the materials. Always air-dry them away from direct heat sources to preserve the integrity of the foam midsole.
