FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for serious marathon running?

The New Balance 740 is designed primarily as a lifestyle trainer for daily use rather than a technical performance marathon shoe.

Does the mesh upper provide enough support?

The mesh is reinforced with angular overlays that provide necessary structure and support for walking and daily activities.

Are these trainers waterproof?

No, the open knit mesh is designed for breathability, meaning water can easily pass through the fabric.

Is the sizing consistent with other New Balance models?

Yes, they generally follow standard sizing, but it is always recommended to refer to your specific UK size or try them on with your preferred socks.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash your trainers, as this can break down the adhesives and compromise the structure of the shoe.

Troubleshooting

Visible dirt on the open-mesh upper

Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dry dirt from the mesh weave before wiping with a damp cloth.

Creasing or loss of shape

Insert a shoe tree when not in use to help the trainers maintain their original silhouette.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your New Balance 740 Trainers remain in top condition, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth. Use a mild soap for stubborn spots, but avoid harsh detergents that may damage the mesh.
  2. Drying: Air dry only. Do not place the shoes near heaters or leave them in direct sunlight, as high heat can warp the midsole and fade the mesh colors.
  3. Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place to prevent mold or moisture buildup in the knit mesh.
  4. Protection: Consider applying a protective spray specifically rated for knit and fabric materials to repel dirt and light moisture.
