FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The New Balance 740 is designed primarily as a lifestyle trainer and is best suited for walking and casual daily activities rather than long-distance running.
How do I determine my size?
These trainers follow standard UK sizing for adults. It is recommended to measure your feet in the evening when they are at their largest to ensure a proper fit.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are typically removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if you require specific arch support.
What is the best way to keep the beige color clean?
Apply a water and stain repellent spray suitable for fabric or suede before the first wear to create a protective barrier against dirt.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, they are not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain to protect the materials and the adhesive integrity.
Troubleshooting
Feeling tightness across the top of the foot
Try a different lacing technique, such as skipping the eyelets where the pressure is highest to allow more room for your midfoot.
Slipping at the heel while walking
Ensure the shoes are laced securely through all eyelets, or consider a 'heel lock' lacing method to keep your foot firmly in place.
Upper material showing light dirt/stains
Gently clean the affected areas with a shoe-specific foam cleaner or a mixture of mild detergent and water using a soft microfiber cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 740 trainers last as long as possible, follow these guidelines:
- Fitting: When you first try the shoes, ensure there is a thumb-width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to allow for natural foot swelling during the day.
- Lacing: Adjust the laces to be snug but not restrictive; ensure your heel is locked firmly into the back of the shoe.
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush after use. For stains on the beige/grey upper, use a mild soap and a damp cloth; avoid machine washing or tumble drying, as this can degrade the cushioning materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration of the materials.
