FAQs
Are New Balance 740 sneakers suitable for running or athletic sports?
The New Balance 740 sneakers are designed primarily for casual, everyday wear and lifestyle purposes. While they offer comfort and grip, they are not engineered with the specific features or support required for high-performance running or intense athletic sports.
How do I clean the white mesh and synthetic overlays?
For best results, use a soft brush or cloth with a small amount of mild soap and lukewarm water. Gently scrub the affected areas, then wipe clean with a damp cloth. Allow them to air dry completely, away from direct heat or sunlight.
Do these shoes run true to size?
New Balance shoes generally run true to size. However, fit can vary slightly between models and individuals. We recommend referring to a New Balance size guide if you are unsure or considering trying them on if possible.
Are the 740 sneakers waterproof?
No, the New Balance 740 sneakers, with their textile and mesh upper, are not designed to be waterproof. They offer minimal protection against moisture, so it's best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or very wet conditions.
What is ABZORB cushioning?
ABZORB is a New Balance-developed foam that provides superior cushioning and compression resistance. It helps absorb impact through a combination of cushioning and compression setting properties, offering a soft and comfortable feel underfoot.
Can I put my New Balance 740s in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to put your New Balance 740 sneakers in a washing machine. The harsh agitation and detergents can damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoes. Hand cleaning as described in the care section is always preferred.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
Adjust the lacing pattern. You can loosen laces for more room or tighten them for a snugger fit. Ensure laces are evenly distributed across the eyelets.
Squeaking sound when walking.
Often caused by the insole rubbing against the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, cleaning the area, and placing a thin layer of talcum powder underneath the insole before reinserting it. If the squeaking persists, it might be the sole material on certain surfaces.
White mesh/synthetic material becoming discolored or stained.
Immediately spot clean with a soft brush, mild soap, and water. For persistent stains, consider specialty shoe cleaners designed for textile and synthetic materials. Avoid letting dirt sit for too long.
Unpleasant odor from the shoes.
Remove insoles and air them out. Sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes and let it sit overnight to absorb odors. Ensure shoes are thoroughly dry after wear, as moisture contributes to odor.

Care
Proper care will help maintain the appearance and longevity of your New Balance 740 sneakers:
- Spot Cleaning: For minor dirt or stains on the textile and synthetic upper, use a soft brush or cloth with a small amount of mild soap and lukewarm water. Gently scrub the affected area, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use bleach, abrasive cleaners, or harsh solvents, as these can damage the materials and color.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources (like radiators or hair dryers), which can warp materials or cause yellowing.
- Insoles: Remove insoles periodically and air them out to prevent odors.
- Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. You can use shoe trees or stuff them with paper to help maintain their shape.
- Laces: Laces can be removed and hand-washed separately if they become dirty.
