FAQs

Is the New Balance 740 V2 suitable for long-distance running?

While the 740 V2 is inspired by 2000s running shoe architecture, it is classified as a lifestyle trainer. It is better suited for walking and everyday use rather than high-mileage athletic training.

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, the New Balance 740 V2 generally follows standard sizing conventions for adult footwear.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

No, machine washing can damage the leather and structural components. Always hand clean with a soft brush and damp cloth.

Is the material waterproof?

The upper is composed of mesh and leather, which are not inherently waterproof. We recommend using a sneaker-safe water repellent spray if you intend to wear them in light rain.

Are these shoes unisex?

Yes, the 740 V2 is designed as a unisex model to accommodate a wide variety of adult foot shapes.

Troubleshooting

Creasing on leather overlays

Use shoe trees when not wearing to maintain the shape and minimize deep creases.

Mesh becoming dirty/discoloured

Gently clean the mesh areas with a mixture of water and gentle detergent using a soft toothbrush, then air dry away from heat sources.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your 740 V2 trainers remain in top condition, follow these simple guidelines:

  1. Break-in Period: Like most leather-based sneakers, wear them indoors for short periods initially to allow the material to adapt to your foot shape.
  2. Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dirt from the mesh. For the leather overlays, apply a damp cloth with mild soap; do not submerge the shoes in water or place them in a washing machine.
  3. Storage: Keep your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather cracking or colour fading.
  4. Compatibility: These trainers are unisex, making them highly versatile for different wardrobe styles; consider pairing them with casual denim or performance joggers for a balanced look.
