FAQs
Are these sneakers suitable for running or sports?
While the New Balance 740 features an ABZORB cushioned midsole for comfort, it is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual wear sneaker. For high-performance running or intense sports, we recommend footwear specifically engineered for those activities.
How do I determine the correct size?
New Balance shoes generally fit true to size. We recommend referring to the official New Balance sizing chart and measuring your foot to ensure the best fit. If you are between sizes, consider trying the next half-size up for comfort.
Can I machine wash these sneakers?
No, machine washing is not recommended. It can damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure of the sneakers. Always follow the spot cleaning and air drying instructions provided in the care section.
Do the reflective accents work in all lighting?
The reflective accents are designed to enhance visibility in low-light conditions when light, such as from headlights or flashlights, is directed at them. They are not self-illuminating but rather reflect existing light sources.
What is ABZORB cushioning?
ABZORB is a proprietary New Balance cushioning technology. It is a blend of foam cushioning and compression set, designed to absorb impact forces and provide superior shock absorption and comfort.
Are these sneakers waterproof?
The New Balance 740 features breathable mesh uppers, which are not waterproof. While the leather components offer some resistance, these sneakers are not designed to be fully waterproof and are best suited for dry conditions.
Troubleshooting
Sneakers feel uncomfortable or too tight.
Ensure the laces are not tied too tightly. Adjust the lacing pattern for a more relaxed fit. If discomfort persists, double-check your size against the New Balance sizing guide, as feet can change size over time.
White leather components appear dirty or scuffed.
For light marks, gently wipe with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn dirt or scuffs, use a dedicated leather cleaner specifically designed for white leather. Follow product instructions carefully.
Soles feel slippery or are losing grip.
Clean the rubber outsole thoroughly to remove any accumulated dirt, mud, or debris that might be reducing traction. Use a brush and mild soap with water. Ensure soles are dry before wearing.
An unpleasant odor is developing inside the sneakers.
Allow your sneakers to air out completely after each use, preferably in a well-ventilated area. Consider using shoe deodorizers, cedar shoe trees, or sprinkling a small amount of baking soda inside (remove before wearing) to absorb moisture and neutralize odors.
Mesh uppers are discolored or stained.
Mix a small amount of mild detergent with water. Using a soft brush or cloth, gently scrub the stained mesh area. Rinse the cloth and wipe away any soap residue. Air dry thoroughly.

Setting up your New Balance 740 Sneakers is straightforward:
- Unpack: Carefully remove the sneakers from their packaging.
- Lace Up: Utilize the secure lace-up closure to achieve a comfortable and snug fit. Adjust lacing tightness to your preference.
- Wear-in Period: Like most new footwear, a short wear-in period may be beneficial to allow the sneakers to mold to your foot shape.

Care & Maintenance
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your 740 Sneakers:
- General Cleaning: Regularly wipe down the synthetic overlays and rubber outsole with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt.
- Mesh Uppers: For the mesh knit areas, use a soft-bristled brush (like an old toothbrush) with a mild soap solution and water. Gently scrub and then wipe clean with a damp cloth.
- Leather Components: For the leather sections, use a specialized leather cleaner or a very lightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water, which can damage the leather.
- Drying: Always air dry your sneakers at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources, as these can cause materials to warp or crack.
- Odor Prevention: To prevent odors, allow your sneakers to air out completely after each wear. Consider using shoe trees or cedar balls to absorb moisture and maintain shape.
- Storage: Store sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
