Product Information
Full details
The New Balance 740 trainers are designed for individuals seeking a versatile footwear option that bridges the gap between retro 2000s aesthetics and modern comfort. Featuring an open-knit mesh construction with synthetic overlays and ABZORB midsole technology, these shoes provide reliable impact absorption suitable for light running and daily casual wear. While they offer excellent support and a classic look, users should note that the mesh-heavy design may require more frequent cleaning when worn in dusty or muddy outdoor conditions.

FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard sizing; however, since they feature a padded tongue and heel, they offer a snug, secure fit.
Can I use these for long-distance marathon training?
These are designed for light running and casual use. For serious marathon training, a dedicated performance running shoe may be more suitable.
Are the materials waterproof?
No, the open-knit mesh is designed for breathability and will allow water to pass through if exposed to heavy rain.
How do I maintain the beige fabric colour?
Use a fabric-safe stain repellent spray before first wear to create a protective barrier against spills and dirt.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the insoles are removable, making them compatible with most third-party arch support inserts.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming undone during activity
Use a double knot or replace with slightly textured athletic laces to increase friction.
Insole slipping or moving inside the shoe
Remove the insole, ensure the interior floor of the shoe is free of debris, and re-insert ensuring it lies completely flat.
Visible dirt trapped in mesh
Use a can of compressed air or a soft dry toothbrush to dislodge debris before attempting to wipe with a cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longest lifespan for your trainers, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in Period: Wear the shoes for short intervals indoors to allow the padded heel and tongue to contour to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the mesh. For deeper stains, use a mild soap solution and a damp cloth; avoid submerging them in water or using a washing machine, as this can damage the structural overlays.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading of the synthetic materials.
- Insoles: The provided insoles can be removed if you require custom orthotics for specific arch support.
