FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The New Balance 740 is designed for lifestyle and casual wear. While the cushioning is comfortable, it is not optimized for high-intensity running.
How do I determine my size?
The New Balance 740 uses standard UK adult sizing. It is recommended to use your existing comfortable footwear as a benchmark.
Can the insoles be removed?
Yes, the internal liners are generally removable if you require specific custom orthotics.
Is the leather upper waterproof?
While leather is naturally water-resistant, it is not fully waterproof. It is best to avoid heavy rain to maintain the material quality.
How should I clean the outsole?
The rubber outsole can be cleaned with warm water and a soft-bristle brush to remove dirt and mud buildup.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight during first wear
Adjust the lace-up closure to loosen the tension across the bridge of the foot, or allow for a brief break-in period for the leather to soften.
Visible scuffs on leather
Use a specialized leather conditioner or a clean, slightly damp cloth to gently buff out surface-level scuffs.
Slippage on smooth surfaces
Check the rubber outsole for debris stuck in the tread pattern; remove any stones or compacted dirt to restore full traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your trainers last, follow these maintenance tips:
- Fit: Ensure you select your standard UK sizing for the best fit, as the lacing system allows for customized tightness.
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt from the leather. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid soaking the leather to prevent drying or cracking.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the color and material integrity.
- Rotation: If possible, rotate your footwear to allow the internal cushioning to decompress between wears.
