FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While based on 2000s running technology, the 740 is designed primarily for lifestyle and casual walking comfort.
Is the material waterproof?
No, the open mesh upper is designed for breathability and is not intended for wet or rainy weather.
How do I determine my size?
The New Balance 740 is offered in standard UK adult sizing. If you have previously owned New Balance trainers, we recommend selecting the same size.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the internal footbed can be removed if you require specialized orthotic insoles.
What is the primary material used?
The shoe features a mix of dual-tone open mesh with structural angular overlays, available in specific versions featuring either polyester or leather accents.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt accumulation in the mesh upper
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently lift dirt from the crevices; do not use harsh chemicals.
Sensation of the fit being too snug
Try adjusting the lacing pattern to be looser across the midfoot or ensure you are wearing the appropriate thickness of socks for your activity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 740 trainers remain in top condition, follow these simple guidelines:
- Break-in Period: While comfortable out of the box, wear them for shorter durations for the first few days to allow the foam to adapt to your foot.
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt from the mesh. For deeper cleaning, spot clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Do not machine wash or dry, as this can damage the structural integrity of the overlays and adhesives.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading of the grey and black tones.
- Compatibility: These are unisex trainers; ensure you verify the UK sizing before selection, as fit can vary slightly between material types like leather versus polyester versions.
