Proper care extends the life and appearance of your New Balance 740 trainers:
Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe down the textile and synthetic surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher dirt, use a small amount of mild soap (like dish soap diluted in water) and a soft brush (an old toothbrush works well) to gently scrub affected areas. Wipe clean with a fresh damp cloth.
Cleaning the Outsole: Remove any embedded dirt or small stones from the rubber outsole using a brush or an old cloth. A damp cloth can wipe away surface grime.
Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources (like radiators), which can damage materials. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
Odor Control: Remove insoles periodically to air them out. Shoe deodorizers or baking soda sprinkled inside can help absorb odors. Do not machine wash or machine dry.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight or extreme temperatures for prolonged periods.
