FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?

The New Balance 740 is primarily a lifestyle trainer inspired by archival runners. While comfortable for walking, they are not designed for modern long-distance running.

Does the 740 model fit true to size?

Most users find the 740 to be true to standard New Balance sizing. If you have particularly wide feet, you may consider trying a half-size up.

Can the insoles be replaced?

Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if necessary.

Is the material waterproof?

No, the trainers feature an open knit mesh designed for breathability, meaning they are not waterproof.

How should I clean the black synthetic overlays?

Wipe the overlays with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals that may strip the color or damage the material.

Troubleshooting

Visible dirt on the white mesh sections

Use a soft-bristle brush with a mixture of water and mild soap to gently scrub the mesh, then dab dry with a microfiber cloth.

Laces coming undone frequently

Ensure the laces are threaded properly through all eyelets and consider a double knot if the texture of the laces is slippery.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable construction suitable for heavy daily wear
  • Highly breathable upper material
  • Versatile design that bridges retro and modern trends
  • Lightweight feel for all-day comfort

Cons

  • May require a break-in period for optimal fit
  • Limited to lifestyle usage rather than high-performance athletics
  • Light-colored mesh elements may require frequent cleaning

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your New Balance 740 trainers remain in top condition, start by checking your UK sizing, as the fit is standard for the New Balance unisex line. For care, it is recommended to spot clean the mesh and overlays using a soft brush and mild detergent; avoid machine washing to maintain the longevity of the adhesives and materials. If the trainers become wet, allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the materials. Keep them stored in a cool, dry place to prevent yellowing or material degradation of the mesh components.
