FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for serious running?
The New Balance 740 is designed as a daily runner, emphasizing comfort and style for everyday wear and light activities. While they can handle light jogging, they are not typically engineered for high-performance or competitive running where specialized support and cushioning might be required.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The primary material of the upper is an open knit mesh, which contributes to its breathability and lightweight feel.
How do I choose the correct size?
This particular model is a UK size 7.5. New Balance shoes generally run true to size, but we recommend trying them on or consulting a size guide. Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe.
Can I machine wash these shoes?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and construction of the shoe. Please follow the hand-cleaning instructions outlined in the 'Product Care & Maintenance' section.
Is the New Balance 740 available in other colors or sizes?
Yes, the New Balance 740 series is available in various colorways and sizes beyond this specific White/Brown/Grey UK 7.5 model. Please check the product page for other available variants.
Do these shoes offer good arch support?
The 740 features a segmented midsole designed for general cushioning and comfort. For individuals requiring specific or enhanced arch support, we recommend exploring aftermarket insoles or consulting with a foot health professional.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have the correct size (UK 7.5 for this model). Try adjusting the lacing to relieve pressure points. If discomfort persists, consider wearing thinner socks or checking for any manufacturing irregularities.
Squeaking sound when walking
Often caused by insoles rubbing against the shoe's interior. Try removing and reinserting the insoles. A light dusting of baby powder under the insole can also help reduce friction. If the squeak comes from the sole, check for small debris lodged in the tread.
Odor develops in shoes
Allow shoes to air out completely after each use. Remove insoles to air dry separately. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors.
Mesh upper appears dirty or stained
Gently clean with a solution of mild soap and cool water using a soft cloth or brush. Avoid harsh chemicals. For tougher stains, specific shoe cleaning kits for mesh materials may be beneficial. Always air dry.
Lack of expected arch support
The 740 features a segmented midsole for general cushioning. If you require specific arch support due to foot type, consider replacing the standard insoles with aftermarket orthopedic insoles designed for your needs. Consult a foot specialist if pain persists.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting Started
- Lacing: Ensure laces are threaded evenly and tied securely but not too tightly. Adjust the tension for optimal comfort and support across your instep.
- Fit Check: The 740 should feel snug in the heel and midfoot, with enough room in the toe box for your toes to wiggle slightly. There should be about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe.
Compatibility
- Activity: Ideal for daily walking, casual wear, light jogging, and general urban exploration.
- Wardrobe: Best paired with casual and athleisure attire. Think track pants, denim, shorts, or chinos.
- Environment: Suitable for dry to moderately damp conditions. The mesh upper is breathable but not waterproof.
Product Care & Maintenance
Regular care will prolong the life and appearance of your New Balance 740 shoes.
- Cleaning: Gently brush off loose dirt with a soft brush (e.g., an old toothbrush). For stains, use a mild soap mixed with cool water and a soft cloth. Apply the solution to the affected area, gently scrub, and then wipe clean with a damp cloth.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat (like a radiator or hairdryer) as this can damage materials.
- Storage: Store shoes 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.
- Odor Control: Remove insoles periodically and air them out. For persistent odors, consider using shoe deodorizers.
