FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running long distances?
While inspired by 2000s running gear, the 740 is primarily marketed as a lifestyle sneaker suitable for daily wear rather than high-mileage athletic training.
Does the mesh material keep my feet dry?
The open-knit mesh is designed for breathability, not waterproofing. It will allow water to pass through, so it is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain.
How do I determine my size?
New Balance 740s generally run true to size, but we recommend measuring your feet while standing to ensure the most comfortable fit.
Can I use custom orthotic insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to swap them out for your preferred custom orthotics if needed.
Are these shoes unisex?
Yes, the New Balance 740 is designed as a unisex model, though sizing is provided in specific adult UK measurements.
What is the best way to store the trainers?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause the colors of the mesh and overlays to fade over time.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on the mesh upper
Use a soft-bristled brush or a damp microfiber cloth to gently dab at the surface. Avoid vigorous rubbing to prevent damaging the mesh fibers.
Laces coming undone frequently
Ensure a double-knot or tuck the ends under the cross-laces to secure them, as original archival laces can be quite smooth.
Creasing or loss of shape
Insert shoe trees when not in use to maintain the streamlined silhouette and structural shape of the overlays.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
The New Balance 740 trainers feature a standard lace-up system that allows you to customize the fit for your foot width. To ensure longevity, keep the shoes away from prolonged exposure to extreme moisture or mud. If the shoes become dirty, spot clean the mesh areas with a soft cloth and mild soap; avoid machine washing or drying, as this can degrade the structural integrity of the angular overlays and midsole foam. For best results, rotate your footwear occasionally to allow the cushioning materials to decompress between uses.
