FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

The New Balance 740 is designed primarily as a lifestyle trainer; while inspired by running shoes, it is not recommended for high-intensity athletic training.

Is the sizing standard?

Yes, these are designed to match standard UK adult footwear sizing.

How should I clean the mesh upper?

Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid soaking the shoes, as excessive moisture can affect the midsole glue and fabric integrity.

Are these unisex?

Yes, the New Balance 740 is designed as a unisex model suitable for all adult foot shapes.

Can I remove the insoles?

The insoles are generally removable if you wish to use custom orthotics, though we recommend checking that your specific pair has loose inserts.

What is the primary material used?

The shoe features an open-knit mesh upper for breathability and supportive structural overlays for durability.

Troubleshooting

Visible dirt in the open-knit mesh

Use a soft-bristled brush to gently dislodge debris from the mesh gaps before wiping with a damp cloth.

Laces coming loose

Double-knot the laces or swap for flat performance laces if you prefer a more secure fit during active days.

Creasing on the upper

Use a shoe tree when not wearing to help the material maintain its original shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These trainers come ready to wear out of the box with standard lacing. To maintain the integrity of the open-knit mesh and structural overlays, it is recommended to keep them clean by gently wiping away surface dirt with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh detergents, as this can degrade the materials and cushioning. Store in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture buildup in the mesh. For optimal fit, ensure you select your standard UK adult sizing as these are designed with a traditional trainer fit profile.
