FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

While the 740 was historically a running shoe, it is now primarily designed as a lifestyle trainer for daily use.

How should I clean the mesh upper?

Gently wipe the mesh with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid soaking the shoe.

Is the leather genuine?

Yes, the shoe features high-quality leather overlays that contribute to its structure and durability.

Do these trainers run true to size?

Yes, the New Balance 740 typically follows standard UK sizing conventions.

Can I replace the insoles?

Yes, the internal insoles are removable if you prefer to use your own custom orthotics.

How do I protect the shoes from water?

It is recommended to apply a water and stain repellent spray suitable for both leather and mesh materials.

Troubleshooting

Visible dirt in mesh

Use a soft brush to gently dislodge debris; follow with a damp cloth if necessary.

Creasing on leather panels

Use wooden shoe trees when not wearing to help maintain the shoe's shape and reduce permanent creases.

Discomfort during long use

Ensure the laces are adjusted correctly to allow for natural foot swelling during the day.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Classic heritage aesthetic

  • Durable leather and mesh construction
  • Supportive segmented midsole

Cons

  • Leather surfaces prone to scuffing
  • Not intended for technical performance running

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your New Balance 740 trainers last, treat the leather surfaces with a leather-safe cleaner and use a soft-bristled brush to remove dust from the open-knit mesh. Avoid machine washing or drying, as these methods can degrade the integrity of the adhesive and leather quality. For storage, keep the shoes in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading and leather cracking. Ensure you have selected the correct UK sizing, as the silhouette is designed for a true-to-fit feel for most foot shapes.
