FAQs

Are the New Balance 740 Trainers true to size?

Generally, New Balance trainers tend to fit true to size. For this specific model, it is a UK adult size 5.5. However, individual foot shapes vary, so refer to New Balance's official sizing guide if you have concerns or have not worn the brand before.

What kind of activities are these trainers suitable for?

The New Balance 740 Trainers are designed for casual everyday wear, walking, and lifestyle activities. Their breathable design makes them comfortable for all-day use. They are not intended for high-impact sports, running, or specialized athletic training.

How do I clean the polyester mesh upper?

For best results, spot clean with a soft brush or cloth, mild soap, and cold water. Gently scrub and wipe away soap residue. Allow to air dry completely. Do not machine wash or use harsh detergents.

Is this model available in other colors or materials?

Are these trainers suitable for both men and women?

Do the 740 trainers provide good arch support?

Troubleshooting

Trainers feel too tight or uncomfortable.

Ensure you have the correct size. The New Balance 740 is a UK adult size 5.5. Foot swelling can occur throughout the day, so try them on at different times. Allow for a short break-in period, as new shoes can sometimes feel stiff initially.

Mesh upper appears dirty or stained.

Spot clean immediately using a soft cloth or brush with mild soap and cold water. Gently scrub and then wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing.

Unpleasant odor develops in trainers.

Ensure trainers are fully air-dried after each wear. Consider using odor-absorbing inserts or sprinkling baking soda inside overnight to neutralize smells. Always wear socks to help absorb moisture.

Soles feel slippery or lack grip.

Regularly check the outsole for wear and tear. Ensure the soles are clean from dirt or debris that might reduce traction. The 740s are designed for general casual use, not specialized athletic activities on slippery surfaces.

Care Instructions

To maintain the appearance and longevity of your New Balance 740 Trainers with a polyester upper:

Spot Cleaning: For minor dirt and stains, use a soft brush or cloth dampened with mild soap and cold water. Gently scrub the affected area.
Deep Cleaning: For more thorough cleaning, mix a small amount of mild detergent with cold water. Use a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) to clean the mesh upper and overlays.
Rinsing: Wipe clean with a damp cloth to remove any soap residue. Do not submerge the trainers in water.
Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry completely at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources, which can damage materials. Stuffing them with paper towels can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
Avoid Machine Washing: Do not machine wash or machine dry your trainers, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Keep them away from extreme temperatures to prevent material degradation.
