FAQs

Are the New Balance 740s suitable for running?

While based on a 2000s-era running design, this model is now intended for lifestyle and casual use.

Is the sizing true to fit?

Yes, they generally follow standard adult sizing, but it is always recommended to refer to the size guide if you are between sizes.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes, as the cycle can damage the adhesives and mesh materials.

Are these shoes unisex?

Yes, the 740 model is designed as a unisex trainer suitable for all adults.

How do I maintain the white color?

Regular spot cleaning and using a water-repellent spray specifically designed for mesh/fabric can help prevent deep staining.

Troubleshooting

Visible dirt on the mesh upper

Use a soft brush to gently remove dry debris, then spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap.

Creasing in the midsole

Regular wear naturally causes minor creases; ensure you are using the correct size to minimize excessive bending.

Shoelaces coming untied

Replace standard laces with textured or double-knotted athletic laces if you find they loosen during movement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your New Balance 740s remain in top condition, proper care is essential. Since the upper is primarily composed of mesh and fabric overlays, avoid submerging them in water or using harsh detergents. Instead, spot clean using a soft-bristled brush, mild soap, and lukewarm water. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct sunlight or heat sources to prevent material warping. For storage, keep them in a cool, dry place and use shoe trees or paper stuffing to help maintain their shape over time.
