FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

While inspired by running silhouettes, they are best suited for daily casual wear rather than high-mileage athletic performance.

Is the material waterproof?

No, the open-knit mesh upper is designed for breathability and is not water-resistant.

How do I clean the mesh upper?

Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Do not machine wash.

Are these unisex?

Yes, the New Balance 740 is designed as a unisex model.

What is the primary material used?

The upper is constructed primarily from breathable polyester mesh.

Troubleshooting

Visible dirt on the mesh fabric

Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dust before wiping with a damp cloth.

Slight discomfort after long wear

Ensure the laces are tied with a secure but comfortable tension to allow natural foot expansion.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Classic 2000s-era running aesthetic
  • Lightweight and breathable mesh construction
  • Versatile design suitable for various styles
  • Reliable comfort for daily, all-day wear

Cons

  • Mesh upper is not water-resistant

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your New Balance 740 trainers last as long as possible, it is recommended to keep them away from excessive mud and water, as the polyester mesh can be difficult to clean once debris is deeply embedded.

  1. Cleaning: Gently wipe the surface with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or putting them in a washing machine.
  2. Drying: Air dry only in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources to prevent material warping.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
