Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 740 trainers remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove loose dirt from the mesh upper. For deeper cleaning, wipe with a damp cloth and a mild soap solution. Do not submerge the shoes in water or place them in a washing machine.
- Drying: Always air dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can deform the materials.
- Compatibility: These unisex trainers are sized according to standard UK adult measurements. Ensure you cross-reference your specific UK size for the best fit, as sizing may vary slightly from other footwear brands.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent material fading and structural wear.
