FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

The New Balance 740 generally fits true to standard UK sizing for a unisex fit.

Can I use these for marathon running?

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.

How do I clean the mesh material?

Spot clean with a soft brush and mild soapy water, then air dry away from direct heat sources.

Are these suitable for wide feet?

The silhouette is fairly standard; however, the mesh construction offers more flexibility than synthetic leather alternatives.

What does the 740 series signify?

The 740 is an archival model that has been brought back from New Balance's 2000s running collection.

Troubleshooting

Visible dirt trapped in the mesh upper

Use a soft dry brush to gently lift dirt particles out of the weave before using a damp cloth.

Creasing across the toe box

This is normal for fabric and mesh trainers. Use a shoe tree when not in use to help maintain the original shape.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile, classic design that pairs well with various casual outfits
  • Breathable construction suitable for all-day comfort
  • Streamlined profile that is not overly bulky
  • Nostalgic 2000s aesthetic appeals to collectors and modern fashion enthusiasts

Cons

  • Not intended for high-mileage performance running
  • Requires proper care to maintain the look of the mesh panels
  • Limited to lifestyle usage rather than specialized athletic support

Setup, Compatibility & Care

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.
