FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard sizing; however, individual foot width can vary, so consider your preferred fit for casual footwear.
Can I use these for running?
While durable, the 740 V2 is designed primarily as a lifestyle trainer and may not provide the advanced cushioning needed for professional long-distance running.
How do I best maintain the brown colour?
Keep them out of direct, prolonged sunlight and avoid harsh chemical cleaners to prevent discolouration.
Are these suitable for wet weather?
The breathable mesh is not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain to keep your feet dry and protect the material.
Can the insoles be replaced?
Yes, the insoles are removable and can be swapped for custom orthotics if preferred.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on the mesh
Use a soft brush to gently whisk away debris; avoid scrubbing too hard to prevent pilling.
Inner lining feeling damp
Remove the insoles to air them out separately and ensure the shoe is in a ventilated area overnight.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 740 V2 trainers remain in top condition, follow these simple guidelines:
- Breaking In: Like many trainers, these benefit from a short break-in period; wear them for shorter durations initially to let the materials adapt to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the mesh. For deeper stains, use a mild soap and water solution, but avoid submerging the shoes fully in water.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes naturally at room temperature. Never place them in a clothes dryer or near direct heat sources like radiators, as this can warp the materials or degrade the adhesive.
- Storage: Keep your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading.
