FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
The New Balance 740 series generally fits true to standard adult sizing, though preferences for sock thickness may vary your fit.
Can I use these for running?
While inspired by 2000s running shoes, the 740 is designed as a lifestyle and casual trainer. We recommend dedicated performance models for long-distance running.
How should I clean the exterior?
Wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid soaking the shoes and air dry them naturally away from direct sunlight or heat sources.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The silhouette is designed as a unisex fit and generally accommodates a range of foot widths, but individual comfort may vary.
What is the primary material used?
The trainers feature high-quality polyester and other textile components designed for durability and breathability.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming undone frequently
Consider using a double knot or replacing with flat laces that offer more friction for a secure hold.
Accumulated dirt in the tread
Use a stiff-bristled brush to clear debris out of the outsole grooves to maintain traction.
Minor scuffs on the upper
Use a suede eraser or a soft, clean cloth to gently buff out surface scuffs on the affected panels.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are slip-on or lace-up lifestyle trainers, no technical setup is required. To ensure a long lifespan, it is recommended to keep them away from harsh mud or heavy moisture environments. For maintenance, remove loose dirt with a soft brush after wear. If the polyester or leather materials become soiled, use a damp cloth with mild soap to spot-clean the affected areas. Avoid putting these trainers in a washing machine or dryer, as the heat and agitation can compromise the integrity of the cushioning and the adhesive bonds of the sole.
