FAQs
Are the New Balance 740 trainers true to size?
Yes, the 740 series generally follows standard New Balance sizing. We recommend ordering your usual size.
Can I use these for marathon running?
While based on a 2000s runner, these are now classified as lifestyle trainers. They are not recommended for long-distance performance running.
Are these shoes machine washable?
It is not recommended to wash these in a machine, as it can damage the materials and glue. Stick to hand cleaning with a soft cloth.
Are these unisex?

What is the primary material used in the upper?
The upper is constructed from an open-knit mesh, which is chosen for its breathability and lightweight properties.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on the mesh surface
Use a soft brush to gently lift debris, then dab with a slightly damp cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your New Balance 740 trainers in top condition, follow these simple care guidelines:
- Routine Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the mesh and midsole.
- Stain Removal: For spot cleaning, use a damp cloth with a mild, soap-free detergent. Do not submerge the shoes fully in water.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to prevent the breakdown of cushioning materials and to maintain the integrity of the mesh upper.
