FAQs

Are New Balance 740 sneakers suitable for serious marathon training?

No, the New Balance 740s are primarily designed for daily wear and light running, offering comfort and style. For serious marathon training or high-performance running, we recommend shoes specifically engineered for those activities with advanced stability and cushioning features.

How do I clean the open-knit mesh upper of my 740s?

Gently spot clean the mesh upper using a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) and a mixture of mild soap (e.g., dish soap) and cool water. Rinse with a clean, damp cloth and allow them to air dry completely. Do not machine wash.

Do New Balance 740 sneakers run true to size?

New Balance shoes generally fit true to size for most individuals. However, foot shapes can vary, so we recommend referring to New Balance's official sizing chart or trying them on if possible to ensure the best fit.

What is ABZORB midsole technology?

ABZORB is a proprietary New Balance cushioning technology. It's a blend of foam cushioning and compression set, designed to absorb impact through a combination of cushioning and compression resistance, providing superior shock absorption.

Can I put my New Balance 740s in the washing machine?

No, machine washing is not recommended for New Balance 740 sneakers. The harsh agitation and detergents can damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe. Always opt for hand or spot cleaning.

Are these shoes good for walking all day?

Yes, with their comfortable ABZORB midsole and breathable open-knit mesh upper, the New Balance 740s are an excellent choice for all-day wear, providing comfort and support for long periods of walking or standing.

Troubleshooting

My shoes are starting to smell unpleasant.

Ensure you air out your shoes after each use. Remove the insoles periodically to allow them to dry completely. Consider using shoe deodorizers or sprinkling baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors.

The white upper is getting dirty quickly and is hard to clean.

For small spots, clean immediately with a soft brush, mild soap, and cool water. For tougher stains, a specialized sneaker cleaner designed for mesh and synthetic materials may be more effective. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbing.

The cushioning feels less effective over time.

Cushioning naturally compresses with extended use. If the comfort significantly decreases, consider replacing the insoles with new ones, which can often restore a good portion of the original cushioning feel.

My feet feel too warm or sweaty.

Although the shoes feature an open-knit mesh for breathability, ensure you are wearing appropriate socks made of moisture-wicking materials. Avoid thick cotton socks in warmer conditions.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional Comfort: The ABZORB midsole makes them highly comfortable for extended wear and light running.
  • Superior Breathability: Open-knit mesh keeps feet well-ventilated, reducing discomfort.
  • Unique Style: Successfully merges retro and modern design cues, standing out from typical athletic footwear.
  • Versatile Use: Suitable for both casual daily wear and light exercise.
  • Durable Construction: Built with quality materials including a robust rubber outsole for longevity.

Cons

  • Not for High-Performance Running: While great for daily miles, they are not designed for intense, specialized athletic training.
  • Maintenance for White Color: The white color scheme may require more frequent cleaning to maintain its pristine appearance.
  • Style Preference: The retro-inspired design may not appeal to all preferences, particularly those seeking a purely minimalist or ultra-modern aesthetic.

Care and Maintenance

Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your New Balance 740s, especially given their Polyester and mesh construction.

  1. Spot Cleaning: For dirt or stains on the mesh and synthetic overlays, use a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) and a mixture of mild soap (e.g., dish soap) and cool water. Gently scrub the affected area.
  2. Rinsing: Wipe away any soap residue with a clean, damp cloth.
  3. Drying: Always air dry your shoes. Stuff them with paper towels or newspaper to help absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Avoid direct sunlight or heat sources, as this can damage materials.
  4. Odor Control: Remove insoles periodically and air them out. You can also use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes when not in use.
  5. Avoid Machine Washing: Machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the shoe's structure, cushioning, and adhesives.
  6. Regular Wiping: For general maintenance, wipe down the rubber outsole and midsoles regularly with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt.
