FAQs
Are the New Balance 740 trainers true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard adult sizing conventions. If you typically wear a UK 7 in other New Balance models, the 740 should provide a consistent fit.
Can I use these for running?
While based on a runner's design, this model is intended primarily for lifestyle and casual wear. For dedicated long-distance running, consider a performance-specific model.
How do I maintain the white parts of the shoe?
Use a specialized sneaker cleaning foam or a gentle soap solution to maintain the brightness of the white areas without damaging the fabric.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The silhouette is standard, but the mesh upper does offer some natural give; however, they are not explicitly marketed as a wide-fit model.
What is the primary material used in the upper?
The upper consists of an open knit mesh combined with synthetic angular overlays for durability and style.
Troubleshooting
Mesh upper is showing signs of staining
Spot clean gently with a mixture of mild detergent and water using a microfiber cloth, then air dry away from heat sources.
Midsole feels stiff after long storage
Wear the shoes for short periods indoors to allow the cushioning materials to naturally re-flex and adapt to your foot strike.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 740 trainers remain in top condition, follow these simple care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove loose dirt from the mesh and overlays. For deeper stains, use a mild soap and a damp cloth; avoid submerging the shoes in water or using a washing machine.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation or fading of the grey and white components.
- Compatibility: These trainers fit standard sizing. If you wear orthotics, ensure you remove the factory-provided insole to accommodate your custom inserts comfortably.
