FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running long distances?
No, while the 740 is inspired by archival runners, it is designed for lifestyle and daily casual wear, not for long-distance athletic running.
Is the New Balance 740 a unisex model?
Yes, this model features a unisex design, suitable for any adult regardless of gender.
What is the primary material used in the upper?
The upper consists of an open knit mesh combined with angular synthetic overlays.
How do I ensure I have the right size?
The 740 follows standard UK sizing. If you have worn New Balance before, we recommend sticking to your typical size.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash your trainers as this can damage the structural integrity of the overlays and the cushioning properties of the midsole.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt trapped in the mesh upper
Use a dry, soft brush to loosen the dirt, then gently wipe with a damp cloth and mild detergent.
Creasing or loss of shape
Insert a shoe tree or stuffed paper when not in use to help the upper maintain its original form.
Midsole appearing dirty
Use an eraser sponge or a soft cloth with a mild cleaning solution to buff away marks on the white midsole portions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 740 trainers remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Sizing: These trainers follow standard adult UK sizing; however, check the fit as the mesh upper provides a more flexible, adaptive feel than leather models.
- Cleaning: Due to the open knit mesh, avoid using harsh chemicals. Use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dirt, and spot-clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Allow the shoes to air dry away from direct heat sources to prevent material damage.
- Compatibility: The neutral grey and white color profile makes these highly compatible with a variety of wardrobe styles, from monochromatic activewear to layered casual outfits.
