New Balance 740 - Grey, UK 11

While inspired by running, the New Balance 740 is primarily designed for daily wear, casual activities, and light urban walking. For intense athletic training or serious running, New Balance offers other specialized performance models.

For the leather sections, use a leather cleaner and conditioner. For the mesh, a soft brush and mild soap with water. Gently clean affected areas and always air dry your shoes away from direct heat to prevent material damage.

New Balance shoes generally run true to size. This specific model is UK 11. If you are typically between sizes, it is often recommended to try the larger size for optimal comfort.

The New Balance 740 features an open knit mesh upper and leather components, which offer some resistance to light moisture. However, they are not waterproof. For heavy rain or significant wet conditions, we recommend choosing waterproof footwear to protect your shoes and feet.

This particular variant features a blend of leather and an open-knit mesh upper. This combination provides a balance of durability, breathability, and the distinct retro aesthetic of the 740 series.

Adjust the lacing system to relieve pressure points. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks; thinner socks might offer more room. Verify that you selected the correct UK size 11 for your foot.

New soles can sometimes produce a squeaking noise due to friction with certain surfaces or components. This often diminishes with wear. Check that laces are snug, as loose laces can also contribute to noise. If persistent, a light application of talcum powder under the insole might help.

Regularly wipe down the leather and mesh upper after use to prevent dirt buildup. For tougher spots, follow the specific cleaning instructions for leather and mesh provided in the 'Care' section. Prompt cleaning is key to preventing stains from setting in.

Ensure you are wearing breathable socks made from moisture-wicking materials. While the open knit mesh upper provides ventilation, heavy socks or prolonged use in hot, humid conditions can still cause warmth. Allow shoes to air out completely between wears.
