FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The New Balance 740 is designed as a lifestyle trainer. While it draws inspiration from running archives, it is intended for daily wear rather than high-impact athletic running.
Is the material waterproof?
No, the leather construction is not waterproof. It is recommended to use a leather-specific water repellent spray if you expect to encounter wet conditions.
How do I choose the right size?
The 740 follows standard UK adult sizing. We recommend choosing the size you typically wear in other casual New Balance leather trainers.
Are these trainers unisex?
Yes, the New Balance 740 series is designed as a unisex product suitable for all adults.
How should I clean my 740s?
Wipe with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh detergents that could damage the leather finish.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the leather toe box
This is a natural occurrence with leather footwear; using a shoe tree when not in use helps maintain shape.
Difficulty keeping the white colour bright
Use a specialized leather-safe white sneaker cleaner and avoid machine washing to protect the structural integrity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
As these trainers utilize leather, they do not require a complex break-in period but may feel slightly stiff upon the first few wears. To maintain the appearance, wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt and debris. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner recommended by the manufacturer. Ensure you store your shoes in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from drying out or discolouring. Always verify your specific UK adult size, as fit preferences can vary between the original 740 series and the V2 updates.
