FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While inspired by archive running silhouettes, these are primarily designed for lifestyle and everyday casual wear rather than technical running.
How do I determine my size for the 740?
The New Balance 740 follows standard UK sizing conventions. We recommend purchasing your usual size for the most consistent fit.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, the open-knit mesh construction is designed for breathability and does not feature waterproof membranes.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, as the heat and agitation can damage the structural overlays and midsole material.
Are these unisex?
The 740 series is available in various iterations for both men and women, with some shared design language across the series.
What is the primary material used?
The upper utilizes a high-quality open-knit mesh combined with structured synthetic overlays.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt trapped in mesh
Use a soft brush or compressed air to dislodge debris from the open-knit fabric.
Interior odor
Remove the insoles to air them out separately and apply an antimicrobial fabric spray if necessary.
Laces coming undone
Ensure they are double-knotted or look for a secure runner's loop if the standard knot does not hold.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 740 trainers remain in top condition, follow these simple care steps:
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dirt and dust. For deeper stains, use a mild detergent mixed with water and a soft cloth; avoid submerging the shoes fully.
- Drying: Always air dry at room temperature. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can degrade the materials and affect the glue bonds.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to maintain the shape of the mesh and overlays.
- Compatibility: These trainers are standard UK fit; use them with moisture-wicking socks to maximize the benefit of the open-knit mesh construction.
