FAQs
Are the New Balance 740s true to size?
Yes, they generally fit true to size, but individual foot shape may vary. We recommend trying your standard New Balance size.
Can I use these for intense marathon running?
While inspired by archive runners, the 740 is optimized for daily lifestyle and casual wear rather than high-performance long-distance racing.
How do I best protect the pink colorway?
Use a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for mesh and synthetic materials to protect against spills.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The streamlined silhouette offers a standard width; individuals with significantly wide feet may want to consider sizing up by a half-size.
Can the insoles be replaced?
Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to swap them for custom orthotics if required.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt inside the mesh fibers
Use a soft, dry toothbrush to gently agitate and sweep away loose debris from the mesh pores.
Creasing on the midsole
This is a normal part of foam compression; using a shoe tree when not in use can help maintain the shape of the upper.
Laces coming undone
Ensure the laces are threaded properly through all eyelets and tied with a double knot if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 740 trainers remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Fit: The 740 is designed for a standard fit. If you are between sizes, consider trying both to see which accommodates your foot width best.
- Cleaning: Given the open mesh material, it is best to use a soft-bristled brush to remove dried dirt. For tougher spots, use a mild detergent mixed with water and wipe gently. Avoid submerging the shoes fully in water.
- Drying: Always air dry your trainers at room temperature. Never place them in a tumble dryer, as heat can degrade the adhesives and warp the midsole foam.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading of the two-tone mesh.
