FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The New Balance 740 is primarily a lifestyle trainer designed for comfort and casual wear, rather than a technical running shoe.
How do I clean the mesh material?
Gently wipe the mesh with a soft cloth or brush using a mild soap solution and allow them to air dry naturally.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, the mesh upper is breathable and does not feature waterproof technology. They should be avoided in heavy rain.
Do they provide good arch support?
The ABZORB midsole offers a supportive platform, though it is standard cushioning. If you have specific orthotic needs, you may swap the insole for your own.
What is the sizing standard?
These follow standard UK sizing for adults. If you find you need a different fit, check availability in the specific size you require.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, as it can damage the structural integrity and the adhesive materials.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on mesh upper
Gently scrub with a soft brush and a mixture of water and mild detergent; air dry away from heat sources.
Feel slightly stiff out of the box
Wear them for short periods indoors to allow the midsole cushioning and materials to break in naturally.
Slippage on smooth surfaces
Ensure the outsole is free of debris or grit, as trapped small stones in the tread can reduce traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 740s last, it is essential to follow proper care routines.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dirt from the mesh panels. For synthetic overlays, wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can damage the midsole foam and adhesives.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading and material degradation.
- Fit: These trainers are sized for standard adult feet. If you are between sizes, consider trying them on with the specific socks you intend to wear to ensure the correct fit.
- Maintenance: Air out your trainers after extended use to maintain hygiene and prevent odors.
