FAQs
Are the New Balance 740 trainers good for running?
While they are inspired by 2000s-era running shoes, they are primarily lifestyle sneakers designed for casual, everyday use rather than distance running.
How do I ensure I get the correct size?
New Balance generally follows standard sizing. It is recommended to check your size against the provided UK sizing chart to match your typical sneaker fit.
Can I wash these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the materials and adhesive. Stick to hand cleaning with a damp cloth.
Is the material waterproof?
The materials are not waterproof. It is advisable to use a protective sneaker spray to help repel light moisture and dirt.
Are these shoes unisex?
While specific sizes are categorized, the 740 series features a versatile design that is suitable for anyone looking for a classic, retro style.
Troubleshooting
Visible scuff marks on the upper
Use a specialized sneaker eraser or a gentle mix of water and mild soap to buff out the surface marks.
Insole becomes uncomfortable over time
Consider replacing the stock insoles with aftermarket orthotics or cushioned replacements if you require more specific arch support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your trainers last, proper care is essential. Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the outsole and midsole. For the upper materials, spot clean with a mild detergent and a damp cloth; avoid machine washing or tumble drying, as these processes can degrade the adhesives and structural integrity of the shoe. Compatibility is broad, as these shoes fit naturally with denim, joggers, or casual trousers, making them a staple in any versatile wardrobe.
