Product Information

Full details

The New Balance 740 Trainers are a heritage-inspired sneaker designed for adults who value a blend of 2000s running aesthetics and contemporary daily comfort. Perfect for casual wear and streetwear enthusiasts, these trainers offer a lightweight, breathable fit thanks to their open-knit mesh construction; however, users should note that as a lifestyle shoe, they are optimized for comfort rather than high-intensity athletic performance.

FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, they generally follow standard New Balance unisex sizing. If you have wide feet, you may consider a half-size up for extra comfort.

Can I use these for running?

These are classified as lifestyle trainers. While comfortable, they lack the specific motion-control features required for long-distance or high-intensity running.

Are the laces replaceable?

Yes, you can swap the standard laces for any flat or round lace of equivalent length to customize the look.

How do I maintain the color gradient on the mesh?

Avoid using harsh bleach or chemicals; stick to mild soap and water to preserve the integrity of the color treatment.

Are these shoes machine washable?

We recommend hand-cleaning only. Machine washing can compromise the structural adhesives and the shape of the overlays.

Troubleshooting

Visible dirt accumulation in the mesh

Use a specialized sneaker cleaning solution and a soft brush, gently scrubbing in a circular motion.

Creasing at the toe box

Use a shoe tree when not in use to help maintain the silhouette and minimize deep creases.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Lightweight and breathable construction
  • Versatile design suitable for casual and streetwear outfits
  • Iconic 2000s-inspired aesthetics
  • Durable structural overlays for added support

Cons

  • Not intended for high-performance athletic sports

  • Sizing can vary slightly depending on sock thickness

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your New Balance 740s last, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the mesh upper. For deeper stains, use a mild detergent mixed with water and a clean cloth.
  2. Drying: Air dry only. Keep away from direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as these can warp the midsole foam and damage the mesh.
  3. Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
  4. Compatibility: These are unisex trainers. Ensure you verify your UK sizing as per New Balance standard sizing charts before purchase.
