FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

While inspired by 2000s running tech, the 740 is designed primarily as a lifestyle trainer for daily comfort rather than high-impact athletic training.

Is the material waterproof?

No, the open knit mesh and leather construction are not water-resistant. We recommend avoiding heavy rain to protect the materials.

How should I clean the leather overlays?

Gently wipe the leather parts with a clean, damp cloth and a mild leather cleaner if necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals.

Are these unisex?

Yes, the New Balance 740 is designed as a unisex model to accommodate various foot shapes.

How do I find the right size?

The 740 follows standard UK sizing. If you are between sizes, we recommend trying the larger size for a more comfortable fit.

Troubleshooting

Visible dirt stuck in the mesh

Allow the mud to dry completely and gently use a soft brush to knock it loose from the open weave.

Inner lining feeling damp

Remove the insoles to let them air dry separately and ensure the shoe is placed in a well-ventilated area.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your trainers last, proper care is essential:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dirt from the mesh. Use a damp cloth with mild soap for the leather or synthetic overlays. Avoid submerging the shoes in water.
  2. Drying: Air dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the materials.
  3. Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent the color mesh from fading.
  4. Compatibility: These are standard fit, unisex trainers. Always refer to your UK sizing and consider wearing moisture-wicking socks to optimize the breathability of the knit mesh.
