FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for long-distance running?
The New Balance 740 is designed primarily as a lifestyle trainer. While it features modern cushioning, it is best suited for casual, everyday use rather than intensive marathon or long-distance running training.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the insoles are generally removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if required for additional arch support.
How do I ensure I have the right size?
The 740 series fits true to your standard UK size. We recommend measuring your feet in the afternoon when they are at their largest.
Is the material waterproof?
No, the open mesh upper is designed for breathability, meaning it will allow water to pass through in wet conditions.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash your trainers as this can damage the adhesives and cushioning components. Stick to hand cleaning with mild soap.
Troubleshooting
The trainers feel tight during the first few wears.
Adjust the lacing system to distribute pressure more evenly across the midfoot and ensure you are wearing the appropriate thickness of socks.
Mesh upper is showing signs of staining.
Use a specialized sneaker cleaner designed for synthetic fabrics and gently dab the area, avoiding aggressive scrubbing that might fray the mesh fibers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best fit, ensure you are selecting your standard adult UK size; the New Balance 740 series fits true to size for most users. To maintain the life and appearance of your trainers:
- Routine Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt or dust from the mesh and overlays.
- Spot Treatment: For minor stains, use a mild, neutral soap mixed with lukewarm water and a soft cloth; avoid using harsh chemicals or industrial cleaning agents.
- Drying: Always air dry your trainers at room temperature. Never place them in a tumble dryer or directly near a heat source like a radiator, as this can degrade the cushioning materials and distort the shape of the upper.
- Storage: Keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to prevent the colours from fading.
