Product Information
Full details
The New Balance 740 Trainers are designed for adults seeking a perfect blend of heritage 2000s-era running aesthetics and contemporary comfort. Ideal for everyday casual wear or elevating a streetwear rotation, these shoes utilize advanced cushioning technology to provide impact protection and all-day support; however, their performance-focused mesh construction is intended primarily for walking and lifestyle use rather than high-intensity athletic training.

FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
The New Balance 740 typically fits true to standard adult sizing, though personal preference for toe-box room may vary.
Can I use these for running?
While inspired by 2000s running shoes, the 740 is designed for lifestyle and casual wear rather than long-distance athletic running.
How do I clean the grey and black mesh?
Use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid soaking the shoes or using harsh chemicals, which could damage the fabric.
Is the material waterproof?
No, the open-knit mesh is designed for breathability and will allow water to pass through if exposed to rain or puddles.
What is the primary cushioning technology?
The shoe utilizes ABZORB technology, which is a blend of comfort and compression resistance.
Is the insole removable?
Yes, the internal insole is generally designed to be removable if you require custom orthotics.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on the mesh upper
Use a soft-bristled brush or a dry microfiber cloth to gently remove debris from the gaps in the mesh.
Creasing in the midsole area
This is normal during standard use; avoid keeping the shoes in extreme temperatures to minimize premature material fatigue.
Laces feel too tight or loose
The 740 features a standard lacing system; adjust the tension through the eyelets starting from the toe box working upward to customize your fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers are ready to wear immediately out of the box with standard lacing. To maintain their appearance, keep the mesh upper clean by gently brushing off loose dirt after use. If the shoes become heavily soiled, spot clean with a mild detergent and a soft cloth; avoid putting them in a washing machine, as this can degrade the structural integrity and the cushioning properties of the materials. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material fading. If the shoes get wet, air-dry them at room temperature rather than using a direct heat source, which may warp the materials.
