FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?

Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, if you require specific orthotic insoles, the factory inserts can typically be removed and replaced.
Are these true to size?

Troubleshooting
Shoes are becoming difficult to clean
Use a specialized sneaker cleaning solution and a soft-bristled brush to spot-treat fabric stains gently.
Foot slipping out of the shoe during activity
Re-adjust the laces to ensure a snug fit across the midfoot and ensure the heel is properly seated in the back of the shoe.
Interior material feels damp after use
Remove the insoles after heavy activity to allow them to air out, or stuff the shoes with dry paper towels to absorb excess moisture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 740 Trainers last, focus on proper sizing and regular upkeep. When first fitting the shoes, ensure there is about a thumbnail's width of space between the longest toe and the front of the shoe to allow for natural growth and movement. For cleaning, avoid submerging them in water or using harsh chemicals. Instead, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dried mud and a damp cloth with mild soap for surface stains. Always air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, as high temperatures can degrade the cushioning materials and adhesives.
