FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The New Balance 740 sneakers are designed primarily for everyday, casual wear and comfort, not high-performance running. While they offer good cushioning, for dedicated running, we recommend shoes specifically engineered for that purpose.
How do I clean the white mesh?
For the open knit mesh, gently wipe with a soft, damp cloth mixed with a small amount of mild soap. Avoid harsh scrubbing or abrasive cleaners that could damage the material. Air dry completely.
Are these sneakers true to size?
New Balance 740 typically run true to size. We recommend referring to the UK size 4, which is the specific size for this variant. If you're unsure, it's always best to measure your foot or consult a New Balance sizing chart.
Can I put these shoes in a washing machine?
No, it is not recommended to put these sneakers in a washing machine. Machine washing can damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe. Always clean by hand as per the care instructions.
What is ABZORB cushioning?
ABZORB is a New Balance proprietary foam material that offers excellent cushioning and compression resistance, helping to absorb impact forces and provide a softer feel underfoot for enhanced comfort.
Are these shoes heavy?
The New Balance 740 series is designed with a balance of durability and comfort in mind. While not feather-light performance shoes, they are generally considered a comfortable weight for everyday wear thanks to their synthetic and textile construction.
Troubleshooting
Sneakers feel too tight or loose
Adjust the lacing. Ensure you are tying them evenly across the foot. If still an issue, double-check your foot measurement against New Balance sizing guides as fit can vary.
Squeaking noise when walking
Often, this is due to moisture inside the shoe or between the insole and the sole. Try removing the insole to air dry, or sprinkle a small amount of baby powder under the insole to reduce friction.
Foot odor develops
Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. Allow shoes to air out after each wear. Consider using shoe deodorizers or sprinkling baking soda inside the shoes when not in use. Regularly clean the insoles.
White upper appears dirty quickly
Regularly wipe down the synthetic and mesh upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. For more stubborn marks, use a dedicated sneaker cleaner and a soft brush. Address stains promptly.

Care
To ensure your New Balance 740 sneakers remain in excellent condition:
- Cleaning the Upper: For the open knit mesh and synthetic overlays, gently wipe down with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Cleaning the Midsole/Outsole: Use a brush (like an old toothbrush) and mild soapy water to scrub dirt from the ABZORB midsole and rubber outsole. Rinse with a damp cloth.
- Drying: Always air dry your sneakers away from direct heat or sunlight to prevent material damage. Do not put them in a washing machine or dryer.
- Storage: Store them in a cool, dry place when not in use to maintain their shape and prevent odor buildup.
- Spot Treatment: For tough stains, consider using a sneaker-specific cleaner according to its instructions.
Following these care steps will help prolong the life and appearance of your New Balance 740 sneakers.
