FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running or intense workouts?
The New Balance 740 Trainers are designed for casual wear and daily activities, offering plush comfort and support. While suitable for light walking, they are not engineered for high-performance running or intense athletic workouts. For those activities, we recommend New Balance's specialized running shoe lines.
How do I best clean the white polyester mesh?
For best results, spot clean with a soft cloth or brush, using mild soap and cold water. Gently scrub the affected areas. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing, which can damage the material and adhesives. Always air dry away from direct heat.
What is the primary material of these trainers?
The upper part of these New Balance 740 Trainers is constructed from breathable polyester mesh, contributing to their lightweight feel and enhanced airflow.
Do these trainers run true to size (UK 3)?
New Balance 740 trainers generally run true to size. We recommend ordering your standard UK shoe size for the best fit. If you're between sizes, consider trying the next half size up for comfort, though this specific model is UK size 3.
Can I put these trainers in the washing machine?
No, it is strongly advised not to put your New Balance 740 Trainers in a washing machine. The harsh cycles and detergents can damage the materials, compromise the cushioning, and weaken the adhesives, leading to premature wear and tear. Always hand wash or spot clean as directed in the care section.
Troubleshooting
My white trainers are looking dirty quickly.
White trainers naturally show dirt more. Implement a routine of wiping them down after each wear with a damp cloth. For tougher spots, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush for immediate spot cleaning.
My trainers have developed an unpleasant odor.
Remove the insoles to air them out after each use. Consider using shoe deodorizers or placing a sachet of baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb moisture and smells. Ensure trainers are fully dry before storing.
The fit feels a bit tight or uncomfortable initially.
New trainers may require a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter durations initially. Ensure you've selected the correct size (UK 3) and consider wearing thinner socks if the tightness persists, though New Balance 740 are generally true to size.
The mesh material seems to be losing its shape.
Avoid machine washing, as this can distort the mesh and compromise the shoe's structure. Always air dry, and if possible, stuff the trainers with newspaper or shoe trees while drying to help maintain their original shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup
Setting up your New Balance 740 Trainers is as simple as lacing them up. Ensure the laces are tied securely for a comfortable and supportive fit. Take a few steps to feel how they conform to your feet.
Compatibility
These trainers are designed for adults and are compatible with a wide range of casual and athleisure wear. Their unisex design means they can be styled by anyone looking for a comfortable and fashionable everyday shoe. The UK size 3 offers a precise fit for those within that sizing range.
Care and Maintenance
To ensure your New Balance 740 Trainers retain their crisp white appearance and longevity, follow these care instructions:
- Spot Cleaning: For minor dirt and scuffs, use a soft brush or cloth dampened with mild soap and cold water. Gently rub the affected area.
- Deep Cleaning: For more stubborn dirt, prepare a solution of warm water and a small amount of laundry detergent (specifically formulated for delicates if available). Use a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) to scrub the mesh and polyester parts. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach.
- Lace Care: Remove laces and wash them separately by hand with soap and water.
- Drying: Always air dry your trainers. Do not put them in a washing machine or dryer, as this can damage the materials and adhesives. Stuff them with paper towels to help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
- Odor Control: Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the trainers overnight to absorb odors. Remove powder before wearing.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration and material degradation.
