FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The New Balance 740 trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and daily comfort, not for high-performance running. For running, we recommend a New Balance model specifically designed with advanced running technologies.
How do I ensure the correct size when purchasing online?
New Balance sizing can sometimes vary. We recommend referring to the official New Balance size chart. If possible, measure your foot length and width, and compare it to the chart. Trying them on in person at a retailer is always the best way to confirm fit.
Can I machine wash my New Balance 740 trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended. It can damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure of the trainers, leading to reduced lifespan and compromised comfort. Always hand clean and air dry.
What is the best way to prevent my white trainers from getting dirty?
Regular, gentle cleaning is the best prevention. Wipe off dirt and scuffs immediately after wear. Consider using a protective spray designed for sneakers before first use to repel water and stains.
Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?
The New Balance 740 trainers are designed with a standard fit. If you typically require wide-fit footwear, it's advisable to try them on to ensure adequate comfort and space, or consider New Balance models specifically offered in wide sizes.
How long do these trainers typically last?
The lifespan of your New Balance 740 trainers depends heavily on usage and care. With proper maintenance and occasional wear, they can last for several years. For daily, extensive use, you might expect them to last 1-2 years before showing significant wear.
Troubleshooting
My white trainers are getting dirty very quickly.
White trainers are prone to visible dirt. Implement a routine of immediate spot cleaning after each wear. For deeper dirt, use a soft brush with a mild soap solution and air dry.
The trainers feel too tight or loose.
Adjust your lacing technique. For tightness, try skipping eyelets or loosening lower laces. For looseness, ensure laces are snug across the instep. Consider different sock thicknesses or trying them on at the end of the day when feet are slightly larger.
There's an unpleasant odor coming from the shoes.
Remove insoles and air them out. Use shoe deodorizers, cedar shoe trees, or sprinkle a small amount of baking soda inside (remove before wearing). Ensure shoes are completely dry after wear before storing.
The mesh material looks discolored or yellowed.
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause yellowing. For existing discoloration, a gentle clean with a white shoe cleaner specifically designed for mesh might help, but prevention is key.

Care & Maintenance
Maintaining the crisp white appearance of your New Balance 740 trainers is key to their longevity and aesthetic appeal. Regular care is recommended:
- Immediate Spot Cleaning: For small scuffs or dirt, gently wipe the affected area with a clean, damp cloth immediately.
- Deep Cleaning (White Mesh):
- Mix a small amount of mild soap (e.g., dish soap) with water.
- Using a soft-bristled brush (like an old toothbrush) or a clean cloth, gently scrub the mesh in small circular motions.
- Wipe away excess soap with a clean, damp cloth.
- Avoid saturating the mesh.
- Sole Cleaning: Use a brush and soapy water to clean the rubber soles, which can accumulate dirt quickly.
- Drying: Always air dry your trainers at room temperature. Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage adhesives, materials, and alter the shoe's structure. Avoid direct sunlight, which can yellow white materials.
- Odor Control: Remove insoles periodically to air them out. Consider using shoe deodorizers or baking soda sachets when not in use.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to prevent material degradation and yellowing.
- Protection: Consider applying a shoe protector spray suitable for mesh and synthetic materials to help repel water and stains.
