FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

While the New Balance 740 draws inspiration from 2000s running shoes, it is primarily designed for casual daily wear and lifestyle activities rather than high-performance athletic training.

How should I clean my New Balance 740s?

Gently clean the polyester mesh upper and overlays with a mild soap solution and a soft cloth or brush. Air dry them at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight.

What sizes are available for the New Balance 740?

The New Balance 740 is available in a range of adult UK sizes, including this specific UK 6 variant, to ensure a proper fit for diverse foot sizes.

Is the New Balance 740 a unisex shoe?

Yes, the New Balance 740 is designed as a unisex shoe, suitable for both men and women.

What main materials are used in the shoe's upper?

The upper primarily features an open knit mesh made of Polyester, offering breathability and a distinctive look.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

The open knit mesh upper provides excellent breathability but offers limited water resistance. For prolonged wet conditions, these shoes may not keep your feet completely dry.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or too loose.

Ensure you have the correct size. Try adjusting the lacing pattern or tightness to better conform to your foot shape. If issues persist, consider a half size up or down.

Squeaking sound when walking.

This can sometimes be caused by moisture between the insole and sole. Try removing the insole and drying both surfaces thoroughly. A small amount of baby powder under the insole can also help reduce friction.

Unpleasant odor development.

Allow your shoes to air out completely after each use. Remove insoles to dry them separately. Using shoe deodorizers, cedar shoe balls, or sprinkling baking soda inside can help absorb moisture and odors.

Difficulty cleaning specific stains on the mesh.

For stubborn stains, create a paste with baking soda and a small amount of mild detergent. Gently apply to the stain with a soft brush, let it sit for 15-20 minutes, then rinse with a damp cloth and air dry.

Care

Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your New Balance 740 shoes:

  1. Cleaning: For general dirt, gently brush off loose debris. For tougher stains, use a mild soap mixed with cool water and a soft brush or cloth on the polyester mesh upper and overlays. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  2. Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or artificial heat sources (like radiators or hairdryers). Stuffing them with paper towels can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
  3. Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place. If storing for extended periods, consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
  4. Odour Prevention: Allow shoes to air out after each use. Removable insoles can be washed separately or replaced if needed. Consider using shoe deodorizers or cedar shoe balls.
