FAQs

Are the New Balance 740N shoes suitable for long-distance running?

While based on 2000s running shoe architecture, this model is designed as a lifestyle trainer. It is recommended for walking and casual daily use rather than competitive running.

How do I ensure I get the right fit?

New Balance sizing is generally consistent. If you have owned New Balance trainers before, we recommend sticking to that same size.

Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash your trainers. The agitation and heat can damage the adhesives and the integrity of the mesh.

What is the primary material used in the upper?

The upper is constructed primarily from an open knit-mesh for enhanced breathability and comfort.

Is this model unisex?

The series includes various fit profiles; always check the specific sizing and gender classification provided on your shoe box or order details.

Troubleshooting

Creasing on the upper material

Ensure you are using the correct size to prevent excessive material folding; use shoe trees when not worn to maintain shape.

Dirt stuck in the knit-mesh

Allow the mud to dry completely before brushing it out with a soft, dry brush to avoid rubbing grime into the fabric weave.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Iconic, throwback 2000s aesthetic
  • Highly breathable knit-mesh construction
  • Versatile design suitable for everyday casual wear
  • Lightweight build prevents fatigue

Cons

  • Limited for high-performance athletic training
  • Knit-mesh may require more cleaning in muddy conditions
  • Retro aesthetic may not suit formal environments

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because these are standard trainers, no complex setup is required; ensure the size corresponds to your standard New Balance fit for optimal support. To maintain the appearance of the two-toned mesh and overlays, perform regular maintenance:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dirt from the knit-mesh material.
  2. Stain Removal: For deeper stains, use a mild soap and a damp cloth; avoid submerging the shoes fully in water.
  3. Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to prevent material warping or adhesive breakdown.
  4. Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture buildup in the fabric.
