FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running or sports?
The New Balance 740 Trainers are designed as a lifestyle and casual shoe, offering comfort and style for everyday wear. While suitable for light activities, they are not specifically engineered for high-performance running or intense sports.
How do I choose the correct size?
It is recommended to measure your foot and refer to New Balance's official sizing chart for the most accurate fit. This specific variant is a UK 5.5. If you are between sizes, consider your preferred fit for casual shoes.
What materials are used in the New Balance 740?
The New Balance 740 features a breathable mesh upper and angular overlays for its distinctive aesthetic. Specific material compositions for the sole and other components are designed for casual comfort and durability.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended. It can damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure of the trainers. Please follow the hand-washing and air-drying instructions provided in the care section.
What is the primary benefit of the breathable mesh upper?
The breathable mesh upper significantly enhances comfort by allowing air to circulate around your feet. This helps prevent overheating and reduces moisture buildup, making them comfortable for extended periods of wear.
Are there other color options available for the 740 series?
Yes, the New Balance 740 series may be available in other color families and variants. Please check product listings for all available options beyond this Brown, UK 5.5 model.
Is this model suitable for all genders?
This specific variant is listed for 'Female' adults. However, the classic and versatile design of the New Balance 740 series often appeals to a broad audience. Check other variants for unisex or male-specific options.
Troubleshooting
My trainers feel too tight/loose.
Ensure you've selected the correct UK size (this variant is UK 5.5). New trainers may require a short break-in period to conform to your foot. If discomfort persists, consider trying a different size or width.
The mesh upper looks dirty.
Gently clean the mesh with a soft brush and a solution of mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals or scrubbing vigorously, as this can damage the material. Air dry completely.
My trainers have an unpleasant odor.
Remove the insoles and air out the trainers in a well-ventilated area. You can also use shoe deodorizers or place baking soda in socks inside the trainers overnight to absorb odors.
The trainers make squeaking noises.
This can sometimes be caused by moisture trapped between the insole and the shoe's footbed. Try removing the insoles, drying both the insoles and the shoe's interior thoroughly, and then reinserting them.
Angular overlays appear scuffed.
For light scuffs on the overlays, a soft, damp cloth can often clean them up. For deeper marks, a specialized shoe cleaner designed for synthetic materials might be necessary, but test in an inconspicuous area first.

Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the aesthetic of your New Balance 740 Trainers. While no specific material is provided beyond 'mesh upper' and 'angular overlays', general trainer care practices apply:
- Spot Cleaning: For light dirt, use a soft brush or damp cloth with mild soap. Gently scrub the affected areas, especially the mesh upper and overlays.
- Deep Cleaning: For more stubborn dirt, remove laces and insoles. Hand wash with a brush and mild detergent in lukewarm water. Avoid machine washing, as it can damage materials and adhesives.
- Drying: Always air dry your trainers at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources (like radiators or tumble dryers), as these can cause materials to warp or crack. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
- Odour Control: Regularly air out your trainers. You can also use shoe deodorizers or baking soda sachets to keep them fresh.
- Storage: Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
