FAQs
Are New Balance 740 sneakers suitable for serious running or marathons?
The New Balance 740 is designed as a daily runner, offering excellent comfort and cushioning for light jogs, walking, and casual wear. For high-performance running, intense training, or marathons, more specialized running shoes with advanced stability and cushioning technologies would be more appropriate.
How do I clean my New Balance 740 sneakers, especially the white parts?
Gently wipe the mesh and synthetic panels with a soft, damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap (like dish soap). For tougher marks on the rubber sole, a magic eraser can be effective. Avoid machine washing or harsh chemicals, and always air dry them away from direct heat.
Do these shoes run true to size?
New Balance sizing is generally consistent, but fit can vary by individual foot shape. It's recommended to consult the New Balance size chart and, if possible, try them on to ensure the best fit, especially if you are between sizes or have wider feet.
What kind of arch support do these sneakers offer?
The New Balance 740 offers neutral arch support. This means they are suitable for a wide range of foot types. If you require specific or advanced arch support due to pronation or other conditions, you may consider using custom orthotic insoles.
Can I wear these sneakers in wet weather?
The mesh and synthetic upper provides breathability but is not waterproof. While they can handle light splashes, prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions may lead to wet feet. For wet weather, consider waterproof footwear.
What is ABZORB cushioning?
ABZORB is a New Balance-developed foam that provides superior shock absorption. It's a blend of foam cushioning and compression set resistance properties, designed to effectively absorb impact and provide a comfortable, responsive feel during movement.
Troubleshooting
My sneakers feel too tight or loose.
Check your lacing. Adjust the tightness of the laces to match your comfort preference. Ensure you have the correct size; New Balance sizes can sometimes differ slightly from other brands. Try them on with the type of socks you typically wear.
The shoes are squeaking when I walk.
Squeaking can sometimes come from the insole rubbing against the footbed. Try removing the insole, sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch inside the shoe, and then replacing the insole. If the squeak persists, check for any loose components in the sole.
My feet feel hot or sweaty.
The 740 features a breathable mesh upper, but for excessive heat, ensure you're wearing appropriate moisture-wicking socks. You can also try loosening the laces slightly for more airflow, or allow the shoes to air out between uses.
The white material is getting dirty quickly.
White sneakers require regular cleaning. Use a soft brush or damp cloth with a mild soap solution to gently scrub away dirt from the mesh and synthetic panels. A magic eraser can be effective on the rubber sole and toe caps. Regular maintenance after each wear can prevent deep stains.

Care Instructions
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your New Balance 740 sneakers, follow these care tips:
- Spot Cleaning: For dirt and scuffs, gently wipe the mesh and synthetic panels with a soft, damp cloth using a small amount of mild soap (e.g., dish soap diluted with water).
- Avoid Submerging: Do not machine wash or submerge the entire shoe in water, as this can damage the materials and adhesive.
- Air Dry: After cleaning, allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can cause materials to warp or crack.
- Insole Care: Remove insoles periodically to air them out, which helps prevent odors. If necessary, hand wash insoles with mild soap and water.
- Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
