Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 740s remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Air Drying: Always air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators, as extreme heat can warp the adhesives and compromise the mesh material.
