FAQs

Are these shoes unisex?

Yes, the New Balance 740 series is designed for all genders.

Can I use these for marathon running?

While inspired by classic runners, the 740 is primarily a lifestyle trainer. For long-distance competitive running, specialized performance models are recommended.

How should I clean the white portions of the shoe?

Use a specialized sneaker cleaner or a mild soap-and-water solution on a soft cloth, scrubbing gently to avoid damaging the surrounding mesh.

Do these trainers fit true to size?

New Balance sizing is generally consistent, but because fit preferences vary, we recommend trying them on or consulting the size guide before purchase.

Are these suitable for winter wear?

The open knit mesh provides great airflow but does not provide insulation or weatherproofing, making them better suited for dry, moderate conditions.

Troubleshooting

Mesh upper accumulating dust or debris

Use a dry, soft brush to gently clear the knit pattern without pushing particles deeper into the fabric.

Laces coming undone frequently

Ensure a double-knot is used or consider replacing the laces with a different texture if the original material is too smooth.

Foot fatigue after long periods of standing

Check that the shoe size is correct and ensure the laces are snug; consider an aftermarket orthotic insole if additional arch support is needed.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Iconic retro aesthetic suitable for daily wear
  • Breathable mesh upper keeps feet comfortable
  • Versatile design matches a wide range of outfits
  • Lightweight construction reduces foot fatigue

Cons

  • Open mesh may allow water penetration in wet weather
  • Retro design might lack the advanced technical support of modern elite racing shoes
  • Specific sizing varies; trial is recommended for the best fit

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your trainers last as long as possible, remove surface dirt after use with a soft-bristled brush. Because the upper features an open knit mesh, avoid machine washing or soaking the shoes in water, as this can degrade the structural integrity and adhesives. Instead, spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. When not in use, store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material fading and breakdown.
