Troubleshooting
Mesh upper accumulating dust or debris
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently dislodge particles from the mesh pores.
Creasing at the forefoot
Use a shoe tree when not in use to help the material maintain its original shape.
Difficulty cleaning light-coloured mesh
Use a specialized sneaker cleaner and a microfiber cloth, testing on a small, inconspicuous area first.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 740 trainers remain in top condition, keep them away from excessive mud or harsh outdoor environments. Compatibility is universal for casual wear, pairing well with jeans, tracksuits, or shorts. For care, gently wipe the mesh and overlays with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid submerging them in water or using abrasive brushes that could damage the open knit structure. Always allow them to air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources to prevent material warping.
