FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The 740 is categorized as a lifestyle trainer. While they feature cushioning tech, they are best suited for walking and casual use rather than long-distance running.
How should I clean the white and grey version?
Use a specialized sneaker cleaner or a mild soap solution with a soft cloth. Never submerge the shoes in water.
Does the sizing run true to size?
Yes, New Balance 740s generally follow standard sizing, but because of the mesh upper, they may feel slightly more accommodating than full-leather performance shoes.
Can I replace the insoles with custom orthotics?
Yes, the factory-fitted insoles are removable, making it easy to swap them for your preferred orthotic inserts.
Is the material waterproof?
No, the breathable mesh upper is designed for ventilation and is not water-resistant or waterproof.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on mesh upper
Use a dry soft brush to gently flick off dried mud; for stains, apply a small amount of mild soapy water to a damp cloth and dab.
Laces feel loose during walking
Ensure the speed lacing system is pulled evenly through each eyelet before securing; consider a double knot if the material is slick.
Midsole feeling less responsive
This is often a sign of natural foam compression; ensure the shoes have at least 24 hours to recover between wears to allow the material to decompress.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 740 trainers remain in top condition, follow these simple guidelines:
- Fitting: When trying on for the first time, ensure a thumb-width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to allow for natural swelling during the day.
- Lacing: Adjust the speed lacing system carefully to avoid over-tightening, which can restrict circulation.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dirt from the mesh. For deeper cleaning, wipe with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying, as this can degrade the foam density in the midsole.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material yellowing or adhesive breakdown.
