FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for serious running?
The New Balance 740 is inspired by 2000s running shoes and designed as a comfortable daily runner for casual wear and light activities. While they offer good cushioning, they are not engineered with the latest performance technologies for competitive or high-intensity running.
How do I determine my correct size?
We recommend referring to the official New Balance sizing chart. It's often best to measure your foot length and compare it to the chart. Keep in mind that fit preference can vary, and trying them on is ideal.
What materials are used in the New Balance 740?
The New Balance 740 features an open knit mesh upper, which provides breathability, combined with angular overlays that contribute to its unique visual identity. The segmented midsole is designed for comfort and support.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
The open knit mesh upper is designed for breathability, not waterproofing. While they can handle light moisture, prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions is not recommended as it can soak the shoes and lead to discomfort or material wear.
How often should I clean my New Balance 740s?
For white shoes, regular light cleaning after each wear is advisable to prevent dirt buildup and maintain their fresh look. For deeper cleaning, do so as needed, depending on how frequently and where you wear them. Always follow the care instructions provided.
Troubleshooting
My New Balance 740s feel too tight or loose.
Ensure you have the correct size. New Balance sizes can vary slightly; refer to a New Balance size chart. Try adjusting the lacing pattern to better suit your foot's width and arch. You may need to break them in over a few wears to achieve optimal comfort.
The white mesh upper is getting dirty quickly.
Regularly wipe down the shoes with a damp cloth after each wear, especially if worn in dusty or urban environments. For more stubborn dirt, use a small amount of mild detergent mixed with water and gently scrub with a soft brush or cloth. Avoid machine washing to preserve material integrity.
The shoes make a squeaking sound when I walk.
This can sometimes happen with new shoes as materials settle. Check if the insole is properly seated within the shoe. If the squeak persists, try adding a small amount of baby powder under the insole to reduce friction. If the squeak comes from the outsole, check for any lodged debris.

Care
To maintain the appearance and longevity of your New Balance 740s, especially the White open knit mesh upper, follow these care tips:
- Cleaning: Gently brush off loose dirt with a soft brush. For stains, use a mild soap mixed with water and a soft cloth, dabbing the affected area. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration and material degradation.
