FAQs
Are the New Balance 740 shoes true to size?
New Balance typically runs true to size. We recommend ordering your usual UK shoe size, which for this product is `UK 5`. If you are between sizes, consider trying the next half size up.
Can I use these shoes for serious running or marathons?
The New Balance 740 is designed as a 'daily runner' for general comfort and durability, inspired by 2000s running. While suitable for light jogging and everyday activities, it is not specifically engineered for high-performance training, competitive running, or marathons which often require more specialized support and cushioning.
How should I clean the `open knit mesh upper`?
To clean the open knit mesh, gently brush off loose dirt. Then, use a soft cloth or brush dampened with a solution of mild soap and cool water. Gently scrub the mesh, avoiding excessive saturation. Rinse the cloth and wipe away any soap residue. Allow to air dry completely.
Are these shoes suitable for all seasons?
The `open knit mesh upper` makes them ideal for warmer weather due to breathability. In colder or wet conditions, while still wearable, they offer less insulation and water resistance compared to shoes designed for those specific environments.
What kind of arch support do these shoes offer?
The New Balance 740 features a `segmented midsole` designed for daily comfort and general support. For individuals with specific arch support needs or foot conditions, it's recommended to consult a specialist or consider using custom orthotics.
What is the `MPN` for this model?
The Manufacturer Part Number (MPN) for this specific series is `U740BK2`.
Is the `White` color difficult to maintain?
While white footwear can show dirt more easily, regular gentle cleaning as described in the 'Care' section will help maintain its pristine appearance. Promptly addressing spills or scuffs is key.
Troubleshooting
My New Balance 740 shoes feel a bit stiff at first.
This is common with new footwear. Wear them for short periods initially to allow the materials to break in and conform to your foot shape. The segmented midsole will become more flexible with use.
The white color gets dirty easily.
White shoes do show dirt more prominently. For minor marks, use a sneaker cleaning wipe or a soft brush with mild soap and water. For tougher stains, specialized shoe cleaners designed for mesh and synthetic materials can be effective.
My feet feel warm after extended wear.
While the `open knit mesh upper` provides good breathability, extended wear in hot conditions can still lead to warmth. Ensure you're wearing appropriate socks (e.g., moisture-wicking materials) and allow shoes to air out between wears.
The laces come untied frequently.
Ensure you are using a secure lacing method, such as a double knot. You may also consider replacing the laces with a slightly different material if the issue persists.

Care
- Cleaning: For general cleaning, gently wipe the `open knit mesh upper` and `segmented midsole` with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- 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.

- Odor: To prevent odors, allow shoes to air out after each wear. Consider using shoe deodorizers or cedar shoe trees.
