Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 740s last as long as possible, it is essential to follow basic care guidelines. Because of the open knit mesh material, avoid using harsh brushes that could snag the fabric. For daily dirt, a soft-bristled brush or dry cloth is sufficient to remove surface debris. If the shoes become very dirty, spot clean them with mild soap and cold water, then allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources to prevent material warping. Ensure you select the correct UK size to maintain proper foot support, as the fit should be snug but never restrictive across the arch.
