FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for long-distance running?
No, the New Balance 740 is designed as a lifestyle and fashion trainer rather than a high-performance running shoe.
How do I ensure I get the right size?
These trainers follow standard adult UK sizing; if you typically wear a specific size in New Balance, it is recommended to stick with that size.
Can I remove the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are generally removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if required.
Are these shoes water-resistant?
Due to the breathable open mesh construction, they are not waterproof and are best suited for dry conditions.
How do I maintain the colour of the trainers?
Keep them stored away from prolonged direct sunlight when not in use to prevent the black fabric from fading over time.
Troubleshooting
The fit feels slightly tight across the arch.
Try adjusting the lacing pattern to be less restrictive across the midfoot or wearing thinner socks during the initial break-in period.
The mesh upper has picked up dirt.
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove loose debris, followed by a light wipe with a damp cloth; avoid harsh chemical cleaners.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are standard lace-up trainers, no complex setup is required. To ensure a proper fit, ensure your socks are the thickness you intend to wear during regular use.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Wipe down the mesh and synthetic overlays with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or putting them in a washing machine.
- Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent material degradation.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to maintain the colour integrity of the black and green detailing.
