Product Information
Full details
The New Balance 740 Trainers are designed for individuals seeking a durable, heritage-inspired daily runner that blends 2000s aesthetic with modern construction. Featuring an open knit mesh upper and a segmented midsole, these shoes offer a lightweight, breathable experience for casual wearers and fitness enthusiasts alike, though the retro-focused design may lack the advanced stability features found in contemporary high-performance athletic shoes.

FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
New Balance 740 trainers generally fit consistent with standard sizing, but if you prefer extra room for movement, some users prefer sizing up by a half size.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes, as the cycle can damage the adhesives and mesh fibers. Hand cleaning is the safest method.
Are these suitable for long-distance running?
While based on a heritage runner, these are primarily categorized as lifestyle trainers and are best suited for daily wear rather than high-mileage athletic training.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper is constructed from an open knit mesh combined with synthetic angular overlays for durability and style.
How do I best protect the white colorway?
Using a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for mesh/fabric footwear can help prevent dirt from setting into the white upper.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on the mesh fabric
Use a specialized sneaker cleaner or a gentle solution of mild detergent and water, dabbing lightly with a soft cloth to avoid pushing dirt deeper into the mesh pores.
Laces coming undone frequently
Ensure the laces are threaded through all eyelets evenly and consider a double-knot for a more secure fit during active use.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Lightweight and breathable materials suitable for all-day comfort
- Versatile design that pairs well with various casual styles
- Durable construction based on the original high-mileage runner
- Distinctive retro 2000s styling
Cons
- Primarily designed for casual use rather than technical marathon training
- The light-colored mesh requires regular maintenance to stay clean
- Limited to specific retro-inspired support profiles
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are standard lace-up trainers, no complex setup is required. To ensure a proper fit, wear the type of socks you intend to use daily when trying them on, as this will affect the feel of the mesh upper.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Spot clean the mesh upper using a soft cloth and mild soap. Avoid soaking the shoes in water.
- Drying: Air dry only. Do not place them near direct heat sources or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the structural integrity of the materials.
- Maintenance: Periodically remove dirt from the outsoles with a soft brush to maintain grip.
