FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The New Balance 740 V2 is designed as a lifestyle trainer. While they offer comfort for walking, they are not intended for long-distance athletic running.
What is the best way to clean the suede-like overlays?
Use a specialized suede brush to lift dirt. Avoid getting water directly on suede components as it may cause staining or texture changes.
Do these trainers run true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard sizing. If you prefer a looser fit or wear thick socks, you may consider a half-size up.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the adhesive and material structure. Always clean by hand using a soft brush or cloth.
Is the 740 V2 a unisex model?
The design aesthetic is versatile and often styled as a unisex trainer; however, ensure you check the specific size conversion for your region.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on the mesh upper
Gently dab with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid scrubbing hard to prevent fraying the mesh fibers.
Trainers feel tight out of the box
Loosen the laces significantly to allow the mesh upper to expand and mold to your foot shape over the first few wears.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best fit, ensure you are wearing the appropriate socks you intend to use daily, as these trainers are true to size.
Care Instructions:
- Remove loose dirt using a soft-bristled brush.
- For mesh sections, use a damp cloth with mild soap; avoid soaking the shoe.
- Air dry in a cool, shaded area away from direct heat sources to prevent material damage or warping.
- Consider using a water-repellent spray specifically designed for mesh/synthetic fabrics to protect against light stains.
