FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The New Balance 740 is designed primarily as a lifestyle trainer. While inspired by running shoes, it is not optimized for high-intensity athletic performance.
Is this a unisex model?
Yes, the New Balance 740 is a unisex trainer, designed to fit a wide range of adult foot shapes.
How do I ensure the correct size?
These shoes follow standard UK adult sizing. Refer to your current well-fitting New Balance sneakers as a reference or measure your foot length in centimeters to match the manufacturer's size chart.
Can I put the 740s in the washing machine?
It is not recommended. Machine washing can compromise the structural integrity and the glue used in the midsole. Spot cleaning is the safest method.
What materials are used in the upper?
The trainers feature a classic open knit mesh combined with synthetic angular overlays for a durable and breathable finish.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on the upper material
Use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain the original shape and reduce deep creasing.
Stains on the white mesh
Use a specialized sneaker cleaning foam or a gentle cloth with mild detergent, dabbing gently rather than scrubbing aggressively.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Sizing: These shoes fit standard adult sizing. It is recommended to check the specific UK size guide before purchase to ensure the best fit.
- Compatibility: The neutral Grey and White colourway makes these trainers highly compatible with denim, joggers, or casual shorts.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the mesh and overlays. For deeper cleaning, spot clean with a mixture of mild soap and water. Avoid putting them in the washing machine or tumble dryer, as heat can damage the adhesives and synthetic materials.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent colour fading.
