FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The 740 is primarily designed as a lifestyle trainer for daily wear and walking, not for long-distance running or high-intensity sports.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the structural integrity of the shoe. Use a damp cloth for spot cleaning instead.
Is the material waterproof?
The open mesh upper is breathable and intended for airflow; it is not waterproof or water-resistant.
Are these shoes unisex?
Yes, the New Balance 740 is designed as a unisex model.
What is the primary material used?
The primary materials are polyester mesh for the upper, with some models featuring leather overlays for durability.
Troubleshooting
Mesh upper collecting dust or debris
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently dislodge particles from the mesh weave.
Laces coming undone during activity
Double-knot the laces or ensure they are properly tightened to secure the midfoot lockdown.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are standard lace-up trainers, no specialized setup is required beyond adjusting the laces for your preferred tension. They are compatible with standard athletic or casual socks. To maintain the appearance of the polyester mesh and angular overlays, it is recommended to brush off surface dirt after use. If the shoes become soiled, spot clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can degrade the adhesive and cushioning materials, and ensure they are air-dried away from direct heat sources.
