FAQs
Are these trainers true to size?
New Balance typically offers a consistent fit; however, users with wider feet may prefer to verify their size against the standard UK sizing guide provided.
Can I use these for running?
While these trainers have supportive cushioning, they are designed for casual and everyday use rather than high-impact running or specialized athletic performance.
How do I maintain the color contrast?
Keep the black overlays and grey mesh clean using a damp cloth; avoid harsh chemicals that may cause color bleeding.
Is the material waterproof?
No, the open knit mesh is designed for breathability and is not waterproof.
Are these suitable for orthotic insoles?
The factory insoles are removable, which generally allows for the insertion of custom orthotics if needed.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on the light grey mesh
Use a soft brush and a mild detergent solution to gently scrub the affected area, then air dry.
Creasing at the forefoot
This is common with high-frequency use; using shoe trees after wearing can help maintain the shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your New Balance 740 trainers, keep them away from deep mud and heavy rainfall to prevent the mesh from becoming permanently stained. To clean, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized sneaker cleaner, but avoid soaking the shoes or machine washing them, as this can degrade the adhesives and foam. If they get wet, stuff them with newspaper and allow them to air dry in a cool place, avoiding direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the materials.
