The New Balance 740 generally fits true to standard UK sizing for a unisex fit.
While the 740 is based on a runner, it is currently intended as a lifestyle trainer and lacks modern high-performance cushioning for long-distance training.
Spot clean with a soft brush and mild soapy water, then air dry away from direct heat sources.
The silhouette is fairly standard; however, the mesh construction offers more flexibility than synthetic leather alternatives.
The 740 is an archival model that has been brought back from New Balance's 2000s running collection.
Use a soft dry brush to gently lift dirt particles out of the weave before using a damp cloth.
This is normal for fabric and mesh trainers. Use a shoe tree when not in use to help maintain the original shape.
To ensure your New Balance 740 trainers remain in top condition, avoid machine washing or drying, as these processes can degrade the adhesives and structural overlays. Instead, clean the shoes using a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the mesh, and use a damp cloth with mild soap for localized stains. For odor control, remove the insoles after long periods of wear to allow them to air out. As these are unisex trainers, ensure you verify your size using the UK standard sizing chart before purchase to confirm the best fit for your foot width.
