FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the New Balance 740 typically fits standard sizing, though it is recommended to reference the brand's specific size guide before purchasing.
Can these be used for gym workouts?
They are designed as lifestyle trainers. While suitable for light activity, they lack the stability required for heavy lifting or intense lateral training.
Are they waterproof?
No, the open mesh upper is designed for breathability and will not repel water effectively in wet conditions.
How do I clean the mesh?
Use a soft brush and a damp cloth with mild soap. Avoid soaking the shoes or putting them in a washing machine, as this may damage the adhesives.
Is this a unisex model?
Yes, the New Balance 740 is designed as a unisex trainer suitable for all genders.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is constructed primarily of breathable open mesh with durable synthetic angular overlays.
Troubleshooting
Mesh upper is showing signs of dirt buildup
Use a soft, dry brush to remove loose dust; for stains, gently dab with a mixture of cold water and mild soap.
Feeling too tight across the midfoot
Adjust the lacing pattern to be looser through the eyelets over the arch to allow for more volume.
Creasing on the midsole
This is a natural result of the foam material compressing; storing shoes with a shoe tree can help maintain the shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
The New Balance 740 comes ready to wear with a standard lacing system, allowing for a customizable lockdown. To ensure longevity, keep the mesh upper free of debris by gently brushing it with a soft-bristled brush. For deeper cleaning, spot clean with mild detergent and water, then allow the shoes to air dry away from direct heat sources, which can warp the cushioning materials. Store in a cool, dry place when not in use to preserve the integrity of the textile and synthetic components.
