FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The 740 V2 is designed primarily as a lifestyle trainer for casual wear, not for high-intensity running or sports performance.
How do I determine the right size?
This model follows standard adult sizing. It is recommended to choose your usual New Balance size, though the mesh upper provides a slightly forgiving fit.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, as it can damage the structural integrity and materials. Hand cleaning is preferred.
Is the white material easy to keep clean?
White footwear naturally shows dirt more easily. Regular cleaning and the use of a water-repellent spray can help preserve the appearance.
What is the primary material used in the upper?
The upper is constructed from a combination of breathable mesh for ventilation and synthetic angular overlays for support.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on white mesh
Apply a mild, sneaker-safe foaming cleaner with a soft-bristle brush, then gently blot with a clean microfiber cloth.
Creasing at the toe box
Use a shoe tree when storing to help the material retain its shape and reduce the appearance of creases.
Laces coming undone
Ensure they are double-knotted or switch to flat athletic laces of the same length for a more secure grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your 740 V2 trainers last, follow these maintenance tips:
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the mesh. Use a damp cloth with mild soap for the overlays; avoid submerging in water.
- Air Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can damage the materials.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place. Using a shoe tree can help maintain the shape of the toe box when not in use.
- Compatibility: These trainers pair well with denim, leggings, or casual chinos. Given their monochromatic aesthetic, they are easy to style with almost any color palette.
