FAQs
Are the New Balance 740 trainers true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard adult sizing, though it is recommended to reference the size guide if you are between sizes.
Can I wash these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended. Machine washing can damage the adhesive and the structural integrity of the materials.
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While inspired by running silhouettes, they are designed as lifestyle trainers and are best suited for walking and daily activities.
Do these shoes provide arch support?
The ABZORB midsole provides moderate support and cushioning suitable for most daily casual activities.
How do I choose between leather and polyester models?
Leather options typically offer more structure and weather resistance, while polyester mesh options offer better breathability for warmer weather.
Troubleshooting
Visible scuffs on leather
Use a specialized leather cleaner and a soft brush to gently buff out marks.
Odors developing in the interior
Remove the insole, allow it to air out separately, and use a sneaker deodorizing spray.
Creasing in the toe box
Use a shoe tree when not wearing to maintain the shape of the upper.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 740 trainers remain in top condition, proper care is essential based on the material. For leather versions, use a soft cloth and a leather-safe cleaner to remove surface dust. For polyester mesh models, you can lightly dab the fabric with a mixture of mild soap and water to spot-clean, avoiding submerging the shoes. Always air dry your trainers naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the materials or damage the adhesive. When storing, keep them in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture buildup within the midsole.
