Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for serious running?
While inspired by running shoe heritage, the New Balance 740 is designed as a 'daily runner' for general wear and casual use, not for high-performance or competitive running.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper features an open knit mesh, primarily constructed from Nylon, combined with synthetic angular overlays.
How do I clean the white mesh?
Gently wipe the mesh with a soft cloth or brush dampened with a solution of mild soap and cold water. Avoid scrubbing aggressively and let them air dry completely.
Are these shoes true to size?
New Balance generally recommends ordering your standard size. However, individual fit preferences can vary. It's always best to refer to a size guide if unsure.
Do these shoes offer good arch support?
The segmented midsole provides cushioning and support suitable for daily wear. For specific orthotic needs, it's recommended to consult with a professional.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
Due to the open knit mesh upper, these shoes offer limited water resistance. They are best suited for dry conditions to maintain comfort and appearance.
Is this model available in other colors or sizes?
Yes, the New Balance 740 series is available in various colorways and sizes to accommodate different preferences. Please check the product listings for other available options.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel uncomfortable or too tight
Ensure you have the correct size. Try adjusting the lacing pattern to alleviate pressure points. A thinner sock might also help if tightness persists.
My white shoes are getting dirty quickly
Regularly clean the mesh and synthetic parts using a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and cold water. Consider applying a stain protector to help maintain their pristine white appearance.
Shoes develop an odor
Allow your shoes to air out completely after each wear. Remove insoles occasionally for separate airing. You can use shoe deodorizers or baking soda sprinkled inside overnight to absorb odors.
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes be caused by moisture trapped inside the sole or between the insole and the shoe body. Try removing the insoles and letting them air dry completely. If the squeak persists, check for any loose elements within the shoe.

Using your New Balance 740 shoes is straightforward. Simply slide your foot in, adjust your socks for comfort, and tie the laces securely. Ensure the fit feels snug but not overly tight, allowing for natural foot movement.

Care
To ensure your New Balance 740 shoes remain in excellent condition:
- Cleaning: For the white open knit mesh and synthetic overlays, gently wipe down with a soft brush or cloth dampened with mild soap and cold water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive 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 shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees or stuffing them with paper to help maintain their shape.
- Stain Prevention: Given the white color, consider applying a shoe protector spray suitable for synthetic materials to help repel water and stains, following the product's instructions.
