FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, we recommend cleaning them by hand with a soft cloth or brush to protect the integrity of the materials.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The 740 series has a standard silhouette. While the mesh offers some flexibility, they are designed to fit standard width measurements.
Can these be used for sports?
They are excellent for general play and physical education, though they are not designed as specialized equipment for specific sports like football or basketball.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is constructed from high-quality polyester and mesh for durability and breathability.
Do these provide arch support?
The segmented midsole provides balanced cushioning suitable for developing feet, though they are not specialized orthopedic shoes.
Troubleshooting
The mesh is getting dirty easily
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently scrub away dry dirt; avoid harsh chemicals.
Laces feel loose throughout the day
Consider using a double-knot or replacing with specialized elastic laces for easier on-and-off use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your New Balance 740 trainers, keep them away from heavy mud or deep puddles due to the mesh construction. If they get dirty, spot-clean the polyester upper using a soft brush and mild soap. Avoid putting these trainers in a washing machine or dryer, as high heat and heavy agitation can damage the structural integrity of the overlays. Always air dry in a cool, shaded area. For the best fit, ensure there is about a thumb's width of space at the front of the shoe to accommodate natural foot movement.
