FAQs
Are the New Balance 740s true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard adult sizing, though it is always recommended to refer to the specific UK size guide provided.
Can I use these for long-distance running?
The 740 is a lifestyle heritage model inspired by running shoes; it is best suited for casual daily wear rather than high-performance long-distance running.
How do I clean the white or light-colored sections?
Use a specialized sneaker cleaner or a mild soap and water solution on a soft cloth, focusing only on the affected areas.
Is the material waterproof?
No, the open-knit mesh and leather construction are not waterproof and may allow water to penetrate during heavy rain.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper is constructed from a combination of leather overlays and breathable open-knit mesh.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on leather overlays
Use shoe trees when not in use to help the leather retain its shape.
Dirt stuck in mesh upper
Use a dry, soft brush to gently lift dirt out of the weave; avoid scrubbing too hard to prevent fabric fraying.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because the 740 is a lifestyle trainer, no complex setup is required. For the best longevity, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dust and dirt from the mesh panels regularly. If the leather overlays become scuffed or dirty, wipe them with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid submerging the trainers in water or using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can compromise the adhesives and the integrity of the mesh. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration.
