FAQs
What is the primary use for the New Balance 740?
The 740 is designed as a comfortable daily runner, ideal for walking, light jogging, and casual wear, blending performance with a distinctive 2000s-inspired style.
How should I clean the mesh upper?
Gently wipe the mesh upper with a soft cloth or brush moistened with cold water and a small amount of mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals and do not machine wash. Air dry thoroughly away from direct heat.
Is the New Balance 740 true to size?
New Balance 740s generally run true to size. We recommend checking the New Balance size guide for precise measurements to ensure the best fit, especially if you are unsure of your UK size.
What does ABZORB cushioning mean for me?
ABZORB cushioning in the midsole provides superior shock absorption, helping to reduce impact on your joints and deliver long-lasting comfort during daily activities and runs, making your steps feel softer.
Are these shoes suitable for all genders?
Yes, the New Balance 740 is a unisex design, making it suitable for both men and women looking for comfort and style in their footwear.
Do the reflective accents provide significant visibility?
The reflective accents are designed to enhance visibility in low-light conditions, adding a safety element for early morning or evening wear. They are a helpful feature but not a substitute for proper safety gear like reflective clothing.
Can I use these for intense sports or trail running?
While durable for daily use, the New Balance 740 is primarily a daily runner and casual shoe. For intense sports or rugged trail running, specific performance footwear with specialized support and traction would be more appropriate.
Troubleshooting
My New Balance 740s feel uncomfortable or rub in certain areas.
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. New Balance 740s generally run true to size, but individual foot shapes vary. Try adjusting the lacing pattern for a more custom fit – loosening over the forefoot or tightening around the arch might help. Consider wearing different socks for added cushioning or to reduce friction.
The white color of my shoes gets dirty very quickly.
The white colorway is prone to showing dirt. Regularly clean the mesh and synthetic overlays with a soft brush, mild soap, and cold water after each use. For future protection, consider applying a shoe protector spray suitable for mesh and synthetic materials before wearing them.
My shoes feel less cushioned over time, losing their initial comfort.
The ABZORB midsole is designed for durable cushioning, but consistent heavy use can eventually compact the foam. Ensure you are using the shoes for their intended purpose as a daily runner and casual footwear. Rotating with other footwear can extend the life of the cushioning. If discomfort persists, inspect for wear patterns or consider if an insole could provide additional support.

Care Instructions
Proper care will help maintain the appearance and longevity of your New Balance 740 shoes, especially the white colorway and polyester mesh material.
- Spot Cleaning: For general dirt and grime on the mesh upper and synthetic overlays, use a soft brush or cloth with cold water and a small amount of mild, non-detergent soap (like dish soap).
- Stubborn Stains: For tougher marks, a mixture of baking soda and water can be gently applied and scrubbed with a soft brush, then rinsed with a damp cloth.
- Avoid Submerging: Do not machine wash or submerge your shoes in water, as this can damage the materials and adhesive.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources (like radiators), which can cause material warping or cracking. You can stuff them with paper towels to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape.
- Protection: Consider applying a protective shoe spray designed for mesh and synthetic materials to help repel water and stains, especially on the white color.
