FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While inspired by 2000s running shoes, the 740 is primarily designed for lifestyle and casual daily wear.
How do I clean the white portions of the shoe?
Spot clean the white sections using a soft cloth with a mixture of warm water and mild soap.
Are these unisex?
Yes, the New Balance 740 range is designed to be unisex.
Can I put these in the dryer?
No, never place your trainers in the dryer. High heat can damage the adhesives and synthetic materials.
How should I store them?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on the mesh upper
Use a soft brush to gently lift dry debris. For stubborn stains, use a cloth dampened with cool water and mild detergent.
Laces coming undone
Ensure the laces are threaded properly through the eyelets and consider using a double knot if the material remains slippery.
Creasing at the toe box
Use a shoe tree when not in use to help the trainers maintain their shape and minimize fabric fatigue.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 740 trainers last as long as possible, remove excess dirt after use with a soft-bristled brush. Because the upper is made of open-knit mesh, avoid machine washing; instead, spot clean with mild soap and a damp cloth. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the materials. For sizing, these are standard adult UK sizes; ensure a thumb-width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe for an optimal fit.
