FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The New Balance 740 is designed as a lifestyle trainer. While it draws from running heritage, it is intended for daily casual use rather than technical running performance.
How do I choose the right size?
The New Balance 740 typically fits true to size. If you usually wear a size 7, we recommend selecting a size 7.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash your trainers as this can damage the materials and compromise the adhesives used in the sole construction.
What materials are used in the upper?
The upper is primarily constructed from high-quality open mesh, designed to offer a balance between durability and breathability.
Are these shoes unisex?
While listed with specific gender attributes, the 740 series features a versatile design that is often popular across all genders depending on the preferred fit and size.
How often should I clean my trainers?
To prevent dirt from becoming embedded in the mesh, it is good practice to give them a quick wipe or brush after frequent use.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt accumulation on the mesh
Use a dry, soft-bristled brush to gently lift dirt particles out of the mesh weave before applying any liquid cleaning agent.
Feeling of decreased cushioning
Check if the factory insole has shifted or worn down; replacing with an aftermarket insole can refresh the support levels.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 740 trainers remain in top condition, follow these simple guidelines:
- Sizing: These shoes fit true to standard adult sizing. It is recommended to select your usual size for the best fit.
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt from the mesh upper. For deeper stains, use a mild detergent mixed with water and a soft cloth; avoid submerging the shoes in water.
- Drying: Always air dry the trainers at room temperature. Avoid placing them directly near heaters or in direct sunlight, as this can warp the materials or cause colour fading.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry area when not in use to preserve the integrity of the foam cushioning.
