FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

While based on a 2000s running silhouette, the 740 is designed as a lifestyle trainer and is not recommended for high-impact or long-distance running.

How do I determine my size?

The New Balance 740 typically fits true to standard size. Refer to the UK sizing guide to ensure the best fit for your foot length.

Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?

No, machine washing can damage the materials and structural integrity of the trainers. Spot cleaning by hand is the recommended method.

Is the 740 a unisex model?

Yes, the New Balance 740 is offered in a variety of sizes designed to fit a wide range of adult foot shapes.

What should I do if my feet get wet?

Remove the insoles, stuff the shoes with newspaper to absorb moisture, and let them air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators.

Troubleshooting

Use a soft brush to gently whisk away dust and a damp cloth to spot clean light stains.

Consider a double knot or replacing with flat performance laces to increase grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because these trainers are a standard lace-up model, ensure you adjust the tension to match your foot's width for optimal support. To maintain the appearance of your 740s, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the mesh and overlays. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap; avoid fully submerging the shoes in water or placing them in a washing machine, as this can degrade the adhesives and material integrity. Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent material fading.
