FAQs
Are the New Balance 740 trainers true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard adult sizing, but as with all athletic footwear, fit can vary by individual foot shape.
Can I use these for marathon running?
No, these are classified as lifestyle trainers inspired by heritage designs and lack the advanced technical cushioning required for long-distance training.
How should I clean the two-toned mesh?
Gently scrub with a soft brush or soft cloth and mild soap. Avoid aggressive scrubbing which could fray the mesh fibers.
Are these shoes unisex?
Yes, the model is designed to be worn by anyone, with various sizes available to accommodate different preferences.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash your trainers, as the heat and agitation can damage the materials and adhesives.
Troubleshooting
Noticeable dirt build-up in the mesh
Use a soft brush and dry-wipe the area. If stubborn, use a damp cloth with mild detergent.
Creasing or loss of shape
Always use a shoe horn when putting them on and store with shoe trees to maintain the structural form.
