FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

No, the 740 V2 is designed primarily as a lifestyle trainer for casual wear and daily comfort, not as a performance running shoe.

What does the animal print mean for cleaning?

The pattern is a visual design element. You should avoid abrasive cleaning tools that could scratch or fade the print.

Does this model come in other colours?

Yes, the 740 series is available in various colourways, including grey and white combinations.

Is the material waterproof?

No, the breathable mesh upper is porous and will not protect your feet from water or rain.

How should I store them to keep the beige clean?

Store them in a dust bag or a dedicated shoe box to prevent dust and sunlight exposure when not in use.

Troubleshooting

Visible dirt on the mesh upper

Use a dry, soft brush to gently lift dirt from the weave before applying a very small amount of mild soap and water with a damp cloth if necessary.

Creasing at the toe box

Use cedar shoe trees when not in use to help the shoe retain its shape and smooth out minor aesthetic creases.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your New Balance 740 V2 trainers remain in top condition, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove loose dirt from the mesh panels. For the leather or synthetic overlays, wipe with a slightly damp, lint-free cloth. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh chemical cleaners.
  2. Storage: Keep your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade the beige colourway.
  3. Deodorizing: Use moisture-absorbing inserts or leave the shoes in a well-ventilated area after long walks to prevent odor buildup.
  4. Compatibility: These trainers pair well with denim, casual trousers, or athleisure wear, making them a versatile addition to any wardrobe.
