FAQs
Are New Balance 740 trainers true to size?
Yes, they generally fit true to standard adult sizing. If you prefer a roomier fit for thicker socks, consider a half-size increase.
Can I use these for long-distance running?
While inspired by runners from the 2000s, these are primarily designed as lifestyle shoes and are best suited for walking and daily wear.
How do I keep the white mesh clean?
Preventive care is key. Use a water-repellent spray designed for mesh fabrics before wearing them outdoors.
Is this a unisex shoe?
Yes, the New Balance 740 model is designed as a unisex trainer suitable for all adults.
Does the shoe provide good arch support?
The 740 offers a balanced, cushioned midsole suitable for standard arch types during daily activity.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on white mesh
Use a soft brush to gently lift dry debris; follow up with a specialized trainer cleaning solution for set-in stains.
Laces coming undone
Replace standard laces with textured athletic laces or use a double-knot technique to ensure a secure fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Setup: The 740 features a standard lace-up closure. Ensure the laces are adjusted to your preferred tension upon first wear to allow the upper to sit correctly on the midfoot.
- Compatibility: These trainers feature a neutral design that pairs perfectly with denim, chinos, or athletic joggers. They serve as a unisex staple, fitting well into any modern wardrobe.
- Care: To maintain the white and grey aesthetic, wipe down the mesh and overlays with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid submerging the shoes in water. If deep cleaning is needed, use a mild, shoe-safe detergent and air dry them away from direct heat sources to prevent the materials from warping.
