FAQs

Are the New Balance 740 trainers machine washable?

No, it is recommended to spot clean them with a damp cloth and mild soap to protect the integrity of the materials.

Is this shoe suitable for wide feet?

The 740 features a standard width, but the open knit mesh provides some natural flexibility to accommodate different foot shapes.

What material is the upper made of?

The upper consists of an open knit mesh with synthetic angular overlays for durability.

Can these be used for competitive running?

While they feature running-inspired technology, they are designed primarily as lifestyle trainers for casual use.

Does the 740 come in different sizes?

Yes, this series is available in a wide range of sizes, including various half-sizes, to ensure a proper fit for growing children.

Troubleshooting

Laces coming undone during activity

Use a double-knot technique or ensure the laces are threaded through all eyelets for a tighter fit.

Mesh appearing dusty or discolored

Use a specialized sneaker cleaning foam and a soft brush to gently lift dirt from the knit fibers.

Midsole feeling stiff

The shoe may need a short break-in period; wear them for short durations before extended use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your New Balance 740 Trainers, follow these guidelines:

  1. Fit Check: Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between the longest toe and the front of the shoe.
  2. Lacing: Tighten laces securely but avoid over-tightening to maintain proper circulation.
  3. Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry mud or surface dirt from the mesh upper.
  4. Washing: Avoid submerging the trainers in a washing machine; spot clean with mild detergent and a damp cloth instead.
  5. Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the materials.
