FAQs

How do I clean my New Balance 740 Dark Olivine sneakers?

Gently clean the mesh and synthetic overlays with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh chemicals. Allow them to air dry completely at room temperature.

What does ABZORB midsole technology do?

ABZORB is New Balance's proprietary foam cushioning technology that provides superior shock absorption and compression resistance. It's designed to protect your feet and provide lasting comfort by absorbing impact forces.

Are these shoes suitable for running or sports?

The New Balance 740, while inspired by early 2000s runners, is primarily designed for casual wear, comfort, and everyday style. While they offer good cushioning, they are not engineered for high-performance athletic activities or competitive running.

What materials are the upper made from?

The upper features a breathable mesh base combined with durable synthetic overlays, creating a blend of ventilation, support, and a distinctive retro aesthetic.

How durable is the outsole?

The 740 features a robust rubber outsole that provides reliable traction and durability for everyday use. It's designed to withstand regular wear on various common surfaces.

Are New Balance 740s true to size?

New Balance sizing is generally consistent, but fit can vary by individual foot shape. It's recommended to consult the New Balance official sizing guide or try them on if possible to ensure the best fit. These are listed in UK adult foot sizes.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking sound while walking

Often, squeaking comes from the insole rubbing against the sole or moisture. Try removing the insoles, cleaning underneath, and sprinkling a small amount of baby powder before replacing them. If the squeak persists, it might be the outsole rubbing on specific surfaces.

Unpleasant odor from shoes

Ensure shoes are aired out after each use. You can remove insoles to help them dry. Consider using shoe deodorizers, baking soda in a sock left overnight, or cedar shoe inserts. Always wear moisture-wicking socks to help prevent odor buildup.

Fit feels too loose or tight

Double-check your size against a New Balance sizing chart. Adjust your lacing technique to provide more snugness or looseness. Experiment with different types of socks (thicker for a tighter fit, thinner for more room) to find your ideal comfort.

Visible dirt or scuffs on the synthetic overlays

For light dirt, wipe with a damp cloth. For scuffs, a specialized sneaker cleaner designed for synthetic materials can be used, applied with a soft brush or cloth according to the product instructions. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.

Your New Balance 740 sneakers are designed for ease of use right out of the box. Simply lace them up to your preferred comfort level. These shoes are sized in UK adult foot measurements (e.g., UK 10) and are compatible with standard athletic socks. Being a unisex style, they are designed to fit a wide range of adult feet. For optimal longevity and appearance, proper care is essential:

Care Instructions

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the mesh and synthetic overlays with a soft, damp cloth using mild soap and cool water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes, as these can damage the materials. For stubborn dirt, a soft-bristled brush (like an old toothbrush) can be used carefully.
  2. Drying: Always allow your sneakers to air dry at room temperature. Do not put them in a dryer or expose them to direct heat, as this can cause materials to warp or crack.
  3. Odor Control: To prevent odors, remove insoles occasionally to air out, and consider using shoe deodorizers or cedar shoe trees. Ensure you wear appropriate socks to absorb moisture.
  4. Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Stuffing them with crumpled paper can help maintain their shape.

Following these steps will help keep your Dark Olivine 740s looking fresh and performing well.
