FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The New Balance 740 has a standard fit. While the lace-up closure allows for some adjustment, they are designed on a standard width last.
Can these be machine washed?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, as the agitation and heat can degrade the cushioning and damage the structural integrity of the upper.
Are these running shoes or lifestyle shoes?
While they are inspired by 2000s-era running shoes, they are primarily categorized as lifestyle trainers designed for casual, everyday use.
Do the insoles come out?
Yes, the insoles are removable, making it easy to air them out or insert custom orthotic insoles.
What is the primary material used in the upper?
The upper consists of a durable blend of synthetic and textile materials designed for a balance of breathability and structure.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming untied frequently
Double knot the laces or replace them with slightly textured laces that provide more grip.
Upper material showing scuffs
Use a specialized sneaker eraser or a soft cloth dampened with a gentle leather or synthetic cleaner.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your New Balance 740 trainers, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove loose dirt from the synthetic and fabric upper. For deeper stains, use a mild soap and water solution with a cloth; avoid submerging the shoes fully in water.
- Drying: Always air dry at room temperature. Keep the trainers away from direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as high heat can warp the cushioning foam and damage adhesives.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to prevent mildew and color fading.
- Insoles: The removable insole can be taken out periodically to air out or be replaced with orthotics if necessary.
