FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

The New Balance 740 is designed as a lifestyle trainer based on archival running shoes. While comfortable for walking, they are not optimized for long-distance or high-intensity athletic running.

How do I choose the right size?

These are listed in UK adult sizing. It is recommended to measure your foot length and compare it to the New Balance sizing chart for the most accurate fit.

Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?

It is not recommended. Machine washing can damage the materials and the structural integrity of the midsole. Hand cleaning is the safest method.

What is the primary material used?

The primary upper material is a high-quality polyester open knit mesh, which offers durability and breathability.

Are these sneakers unisex?

Yes, the New Balance 740 is categorized as a unisex model, fitting a wide range of foot shapes.

Troubleshooting

Visible dirt trapped in the mesh upper

Use a dry soft-bristled brush to gently agitate the mesh, then wipe with a slightly damp cloth.

Foot feels slightly loose during walks

Try a different lacing technique, such as the heel-lock method, to secure the ankle within the shoe.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile design suitable for casual and streetwear styles
  • Breathable mesh upper ideal for warmer days

  • Not intended for high-intensity professional running

  • Limited to specific colorway combinations

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your New Balance 740s maintain their shape and aesthetic appeal, follow these care instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dust from the mesh. For deeper cleaning, wipe the polyester upper with a damp cloth and a mild detergent solution.
  2. Drying: Always air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can degrade the midsole adhesives and material colors.
  3. Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help the trainers maintain their original silhouette when not being worn.
  4. Compatibility: These are unisex trainers; ensure you verify the specific UK size measurement before purchase to guarantee an optimal fit.
