Proper care will help extend the life of your New Balance 740 Trainers:
Cleaning: For general cleaning, wipe the synthetic surfaces with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners. For tougher dirt, use a soft brush.
Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage materials.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
Odour Control: If odours develop, remove insoles (if removable) and air them out. You can also use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb smells.
