FAQs
Are the New Balance 740 Trainers true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard adult sizing conventions. It is recommended to choose your typical New Balance size.
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While the 740 is inspired by running shoes, it is designed as a lifestyle trainer for daily casual wear rather than for high-performance athletic training.
Can I put these in the dryer?
No, you should never put your trainers in the dryer as the heat can degrade the cushioning materials and the adhesives holding the shoe together.
Is this a unisex model?
Yes, the New Balance 740 is designed as a unisex trainer suitable for both men and women.
What is the primary material used?
The upper is primarily made from breathable polyester mesh, with some versions incorporating leather detailing.
How do I remove odors from my trainers?
Remove the insoles and wash them separately if possible, or use a sneaker deodorizing spray and ensure the shoes are aired out in a well-ventilated space.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt caught in the mesh upper
Use a soft, dry brush to gently sweep away debris, followed by a damp cloth with mild soap.
Midsole feeling less responsive
If the shoe has been worn daily for a long period, the cushioning material may have reached its structural lifespan; ensure you are giving the shoes 24 hours of rest between uses.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 740 trainers remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Sizing: These are standard adult-sized trainers; ensure you verify your UK foot size before purchase as they are available in a wide range of specific fits.
- Cleaning: For polyester mesh, use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dust. Use a mild detergent mixed with water for spot cleaning; avoid submerging them in a washing machine to maintain the integrity of the foam midsole.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent potential discoloration of the grey/black pigments.
- Rotation: Allow the cushioning to decompress between wears by rotating these with other footwear to extend the lifespan of the `ABZORB` technology.
