FAQs

Are the New Balance 740 trainers good for running?

While inspired by 2000s running archives, these are primarily categorized as lifestyle trainers for walking and casual daily use, rather than dedicated performance running shoes.

Are these shoes machine washable?

It is generally recommended to hand clean the trainers to maintain the integrity of the materials and adhesives; machine washing may cause damage.

How should I choose the right size?

The New Balance 740 fits true to size. If you prefer to wear thicker socks, consider opting for a half-size up.

Is the material waterproof?

No, the open-knit mesh upper is designed for breathability and will allow water to pass through, so they are not recommended for heavy rain.

Are these unisex?

Yes, the New Balance 740 is designed as a unisex model, though availability of specific sizes may vary by region.

Troubleshooting

Mesh upper is showing stains or dirt buildup

Gently scrub with a soft-bristled brush and a small amount of laundry detergent mixed with water. Allow to air dry naturally.

Laces becoming untied frequently

Ensure the laces are threaded through all eyelets properly to maintain tension; double-knot if necessary.

Midsole feels stiff after long periods of storage

The EVA foam can become firmer in cold temperatures. Simply wearing the shoes will warm the material and restore its flexibility.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Lightweight and breathable materials suitable for all-day wear
  • Versatile design that works well with athleisure and casual outfits
  • Modernized comfort features based on classic running shoe geometry
  • Durable construction suitable for high-frequency daily use

Cons

  • Polyester upper may show dirt more easily than darker synthetic materials
  • Not intended for technical athletic sports or high-intensity training
  • Limited water resistance due to the open-knit mesh design

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your New Balance 740 trainers remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:

  1. Initial Fit: Ensure you break the shoes in with light walking to allow the mesh upper to contour to your foot shape.
  2. Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the mesh. For deeper cleaning, spot clean with a mixture of mild soap and lukewarm water using a soft cloth.
  3. Storage: Keep away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the materials from warping or adhesives from weakening.
  4. Compatibility: These trainers feature a neutral design that complements denim, joggers, or casual shorts, making them highly compatible with most casual wardrobes.
