FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

While the 740 was originally a running shoe, this version is primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear.

How do I choose between the leather and polyester versions?

Leather versions generally offer more durability and weather resistance, while the polyester/mesh versions provide superior breathability.

Is the sizing consistent with other New Balance models?

The 740 typically follows standard New Balance sizing, but it is always best to refer to the UK sizing guide for your specific fit.

Can I put these shoes in the dryer?

No. Never put your trainers in the dryer, as the high heat can warp the midsole and damage the adhesive bonds.

Are the insoles removable?

Yes, most New Balance lifestyle trainers come with removable insoles, allowing you to swap them for custom orthotics if needed.

Troubleshooting

Creasing in the upper material

Use a shoe tree when not in use to help maintain the silhouette and minimize deep creases.

Difficulty keeping the white mesh clean

Use a specialized sneaker protector spray before the first wear to create a barrier against dust and liquids.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Lightweight feel due to breathable mesh materials
  • Comfortable for extended everyday wear

Cons

  • Material differences between leather and polyester versions may affect climate suitability

  • Archival design may lack some modern high-cushioning technologies

Setup, Compatibility & Care

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

  • Breaking In: These shoes generally fit true to size. Wear them with your preferred thickness of athletic socks for the first few days to allow the upper materials to adapt to your foot shape.
  • Cleaning: For the mesh and polyester variants, use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap. Avoid soaking the shoes or using a washing machine, as this can damage the structural integrity of the overlays and adhesives.
  • Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading and potential material degradation.
  • Compatibility: The neutral colorways (Blue/White) make these shoes highly compatible with most casual wardrobes, requiring minimal effort to style.
