Full details
The New Balance 740 Trainers are designed for adults seeking a versatile, archive-inspired shoe that blends retro 2000s aesthetics with modern comfort. These trainers provide a reliable, stylish option for daily wear, featuring an open-knit mesh upper and a segmented midsole for support; however, users should note that as a lifestyle-focused revival of a classic running shoe, they are best suited for casual walking rather than high-intensity athletic performance.

FAQs
Are the New Balance 740 trainers waterproof?
No, the open-knit mesh design is built for breathability and is not waterproof. They are best suited for dry conditions.
Can I use these for marathon running?
While the 740 is inspired by running shoes, it is currently positioned as a lifestyle trainer. For long-distance running, New Balance recommends their dedicated performance running series.
How do I find my correct size?
The New Balance 740 generally fits true to size. If you are between sizes or prefer extra room, consider moving up by a half size.
What materials are used in the construction?
The shoes feature an open-knit mesh upper with synthetic or leather overlays depending on the specific model variant.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics if preferred.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt or dust on the mesh
Use a dry, soft brush to gently remove surface debris before it settles into the weave.
Creasing in the midsole
Midsole compression is normal over time; ensure you rotate your shoes to allow the foam to decompress fully between wears.
Odors after frequent use
Remove the insoles to air out separately and use a shoe-specific deodorizing spray once the shoes are completely dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these shoes are pre-assembled, no setup is required. To ensure compatibility, verify your UK shoe size against the New Balance sizing chart, as the 740 uses a standard fit. To maintain the condition of your trainers: avoid machine washing, which can damage the mesh and overlays. Instead, clean the upper using a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap, and always allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to prevent the materials from warping or discoloring.
