FAQs
Is the New Balance 740 V2 good for running?
While inspired by 2000s running shoes, the V2 is primarily designed as a lifestyle trainer for daily use rather than high-intensity athletic performance.
How do I clean the leather and mesh?
Wipe the leather with a soft cloth and mild leather cleaner; use a dry brush for the mesh sections.
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard New Balance sizing, but it is recommended to reference your usual size in the 740 series.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the leather components and weaken the shoe's structure. Hand cleaning is strongly advised.
What is the primary material used in the upper?
The upper consists of an open knit mesh combined with leather overlays for a balance of breathability and durability.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on the leather overlays
Use cedar shoe trees when not wearing to help the material maintain its shape.
Dirt stuck in the mesh material
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently dislodge debris; do not use stiff brushes that may fray the mesh.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are trainers, no technical setup is required. To ensure a perfect fit, consider your standard New Balance sizing, as the 740 V2 follows consistent brand sizing. For care, keep the leather and mesh looking new by wiping them down with a damp cloth after exposure to mud or dirt. Avoid machine washing or drying, as the heat and agitation can compromise the adhesive bonds of the leather overlays. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the leather from cracking.
