FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While inspired by 2000s running shoes, the 740 is primarily designed for lifestyle and daily casual wear.
How do I clean the mesh parts?
Gently clean the mesh with a soft brush, water, and a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Are these true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard adult sizing conventions. We recommend ordering your usual size.
Can I put these in the dryer?
No, never place your sneakers in the dryer, as the heat can damage the adhesives and structural materials.

Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on the mesh upper
Use a soft brush and a mild soapy solution to gently scrub the mesh, then blot dry with a clean towel.
Creasing on the leather overlays
Use a shoe tree when the sneakers are not in use to help the leather maintain its shape.
Odors from frequent wear
Remove the insoles to air out and use a fabric-safe sneaker deodorizing spray.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers fit standard sizing; however, since they feature a mix of leather and mesh, it is important to handle them with care. To keep your New Balance 740s in top condition, avoid machine washing. Instead, use a soft-bristled brush or a dry cloth to gently remove loose surface dirt. If the shoes get wet, air dry them naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent material damage or warping. For best results, use a leather-safe cleaner on the overlays and a gentle detergent solution for the mesh panels.
