FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

The New Balance 740 is primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear rather than high-performance running.

How should I clean the wool upper?

Gently spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid soaking the shoes to prevent damage to the material.

Do these come in other sizes?

Yes, this series is available in a variety of UK adult sizes ranging from 3.5 to 9.

What is the inspiration behind the 740 design?

The design pays homage to the original 740 series released in the early 2000s, bringing back a classic archive silhouette.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

It is strongly recommended not to machine wash these shoes, as the heat and agitation can damage the wool and the structural overlays.

Are they breathable for summer weather?

Yes, the mesh upper is designed to allow for significant airflow, making them a great choice for warmer months.

Troubleshooting

Visible dirt on the mesh surface

Use a dry, soft-bristled brush to gently whisk away dust before applying any moisture.

Wool fabric starting to pill

Use a dedicated fabric shaver or a small pair of scissors to carefully trim pilling without pulling on the fibers.

Creasing in the toe box

Insert a shoe tree or stuffed paper when not in use to help the trainers maintain their original structure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your New Balance 740s remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:

  1. Breaking In: These shoes typically fit true to size. Wear them indoors for a few hours initially to ensure the fit works with your specific foot shape.
  2. Cleaning: Due to the wool and mesh composition, avoid submerging them in water. Instead, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dirt. For stubborn spots, use a mild detergent mixed with water and a microfiber cloth, dabbing rather than scrubbing.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the beige color from fading and to preserve the integrity of the wool fibers.
  4. Air Drying: Always air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators, as extreme heat can warp the adhesives and compromise the mesh material.
