FAQs
Are these sneakers suitable for running?
While the New Balance 740 draws inspiration from runner DNA and features ABZORB cushioning, it is primarily designed for casual wear and lifestyle purposes, not high-performance running or intense athletic training.
How do I determine my size?
The New Balance 740 is offered in UK sizing. It is generally recommended to select your standard UK shoe size. If you are between sizes, consider trying a half size up for comfort.
Can I wash these sneakers in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and construction of the sneakers. Please follow the care instructions provided, which involve spot cleaning with a mild cleaner and air drying.
What is ABZORB cushioning?
ABZORB is a New Balance-developed foam that provides superior cushioning and compression resistance. It helps absorb impact through a combination of cushioning and compression setting properties, offering a comfortable feel.
Are these shoes water-resistant?
The mesh upper is not inherently water-resistant. While they can handle light splashes, they are not designed to be waterproof. For added protection against water and stains, you can use a suitable shoe protector spray.
Do these sneakers offer good arch support?
The New Balance 740 features a comfortable ABZORB midsole designed for general cushioning. Arch support is generally considered moderate for casual wear. If you require specific arch support, you may consider using custom insoles.
What kind of socks should I wear with these?
For optimal comfort and breathability, we recommend wearing athletic or casual socks made from moisture-wicking materials.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
Ensure you have the correct UK size 7. Try adjusting the lacing to customize the fit. For persistent discomfort, consider trying a half size up or down if available.
Squeaking sound when walking.
Check if the insoles are properly seated. Sometimes removing and reinserting them can resolve the issue. If the squeak is from the sole, it might be due to trapped moisture; allow them to fully dry.
Stains on the mesh upper.
Immediately blot the stain with a clean, damp cloth. For more stubborn stains, use a mild sneaker cleaner solution with a soft brush and clean water, then air dry.
Sole appears worn out quickly.
The rubber outsole is designed for durability in casual wear. Excessive wear may indicate heavy use on abrasive surfaces or an unusually active gait. Ensure the shoes are used for their intended casual purpose.

Care
- Cleaning: For general dirt and dust, gently wipe the mesh and synthetic overlays with a soft brush or damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild soap mixed with water and scrub gently. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage materials.
- Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation and color fading.
- Protection: Consider using a shoe protector spray designed for mesh and synthetic materials to help repel water and stains, extending the life and appearance of your sneakers.
