FAQs
Are the New Balance 740 true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard sizing; however, since these are unisex models, ensure you check your specific UK size measurement.
Can I use these for marathon running?
No, the 740 is designed as a lifestyle trainer for casual use and walking, not for long-distance performance running.
How do I keep the mesh clean?
Spot clean with a mixture of water and mild detergent using a soft cloth, avoiding harsh chemicals or bleach.
Is the material waterproof?
No, the open knit mesh is designed for breathability and will not repel water effectively.
What is the primary material used?
The construction features a mix of mesh for the upper and durable overlays for support.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on the mesh upper
Use a dry soft brush to gently flick off dried mud or dust before using a damp cloth.
Shoes feel slightly tight
Ensure you are using thin performance socks and verify that the laces are not tightened unevenly across the bridge of the foot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 740 trainers remain in top condition, avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat and heavy agitation can damage the mesh and adhesives. Instead, clean the exterior using a soft-bristled brush to remove surface debris and a damp cloth with mild soap for localized spots. For the best fit, ensure you are wearing the appropriate athletic socks that align with your size 8 UK sizing. Store the trainers in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight to prevent premature fading of the grey color materials.
