How do I determine my size?
The New Balance 740 follows standard adult sizing. It is recommended to choose the same size you typically wear in other New Balance lifestyle trainers.
Can I put these in the washing machine?

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 740 trainers maintain their look and feel, follow these guidelines:
- Fit: Ensure you select your standard adult size; the 740 is designed for a versatile unisex fit.
- Care: Clean the open-knit mesh gently with a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt. For deeper stains, use a mild detergent mixed with water and a cloth. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using a washing machine, as this can degrade the adhesives and materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration of the blue and black materials.
- Compatibility: These trainers pair best with denim, cargo pants, or athleisure wear, making them highly compatible with everyday casual fashion.
