FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?

The 740 is primarily designed for lifestyle and casual use rather than performance long-distance running.

Do these trainers fit true to size?

New Balance 740 trainers generally follow standard sizing; however, individual foot width can vary, so refer to your standard UK size.

Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash your trainers, as this can damage the adhesives and synthetic materials; stick to hand cleaning.

Are these shoes water-resistant?

The open mesh construction is not waterproof; avoid wearing these during heavy rain to keep your feet dry.

Why are some models leather and others polyester?

New Balance manufactures different size variants with varying materials; always verify the material specification on your specific product selection.

Troubleshooting

Visible dirt on the mesh material

Use a soft brush to gently lift debris from the mesh gaps before wiping with a damp cloth.

Midsole appears slightly stiff out of the box

The segmented design requires minor walking time to adapt to your foot strike; continue wear for 1-2 days to maximize flexibility.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Breathable construction keeps feet comfortable for long periods
  • Combines retro aesthetic with modern support technology
  • Unisex sizing accommodates a wide range of users

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your New Balance 740 trainers remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:

  • Compatibility: Ensure you check the specific material construction (polyester or leather) listed for your chosen size, as care requirements may differ.
  • Cleaning: For polyester mesh versions, use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dirt and a damp cloth with mild soap for spot cleaning. If you have the leather variant, use a dedicated leather cleaner and conditioner to prevent cracking.
  • Storage: Keep your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the integrity of the materials and prevent color fading.
  • Break-in: While these shoes offer immediate comfort, wearing them with the socks you intend to use daily will help ensure an accurate fit during the initial break-in phase.
