FAQs
Are the New Balance 740s true to size?
Yes, the New Balance 740s generally fit true to size. We recommend ordering your usual UK adult shoe size for the best fit.
Can I use these sneakers for running or intense workouts?
While the 740s have early 2000s runner DNA and ABZORB cushioning, they are primarily designed for casual, everyday wear and light activities. For high-performance running or intense workouts, we recommend shoes specifically engineered for those activities.
How do I clean the 'Bisque' (Beige) colorway effectively without damaging it?
For general cleaning, gently wipe the shoes with a soft, damp cloth and a small amount of mild, non-abrasive soap. For tougher stains, use a sneaker cleaner specifically formulated for mesh and synthetic materials, applied with a soft brush. Always air dry.
Do these shoes offer good arch support?
The ABZORB midsole provides excellent cushioning and shock absorption, contributing to overall foot comfort. For individuals with specific arch support requirements, personal orthotics can often be used effectively within these shoes.
What materials are the New Balance 740 sneakers made from?
The New Balance 740 features a breathable mesh upper, supportive synthetic overlays, an ABZORB midsole for cushioning, and a durable rubber outsole for traction.
Are these sneakers suitable for all seasons?
The breathable mesh upper makes them ideal for warmer weather. For colder or wet conditions, they may not provide sufficient insulation or waterproofing. Consider weather-appropriate footwear for extreme conditions.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable, especially during initial wear.
Ensure laces are not overtightened; adjust them for a comfortable fit. Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow the materials to gently break in and conform to your foot.
The 'Bisque' colourway is showing dirt or minor stains.
Immediately wipe with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. For persistent marks, use a specialized sneaker cleaning solution designed for mesh and synthetic materials. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Unpleasant odor develops inside the shoes.
After each use, ensure the shoes are aired out in a well-ventilated area. Remove insoles occasionally for separate airing. Consider using odor-absorbing inserts or sprinkling baking soda inside the shoes overnight.

- General Cleaning: For surface dirt, gently wipe the mesh upper and synthetic overlays with a soft, damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap.
- Stain Removal: For tougher stains on the 'Bisque' material, use a sneaker-specific cleaning solution suitable for mesh and synthetics. Apply with a soft brush, then wipe clean.
