FAQs
Are these sneakers suitable for running?
While the New Balance 740 has early 2000s runner DNA and comfortable ABZORB cushioning, it is primarily designed for casual wear and light daily activities rather than high-performance running.
How do I clean the 'Bisque' colorway without staining it?
The neutral 'Bisque' colorway can be maintained by spot cleaning with a soft brush or cloth, mild soap, and cold water. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive scrubbing. Always air dry.
What is ABZORB cushioning?
ABZORB is a New Balance proprietary foam material that provides superior cushioning and compression resistance. It helps absorb impact through a combination of cushioning and compression setting properties.
Are the New Balance 740s waterproof?
No, the mesh upper of the 740 offers good breathability but limited water resistance. We recommend avoiding heavy rain or wet conditions, or applying a water-resistant spray for light protection.
Is this model a limited edition or part of a regular collection?
The 740 is a fan-favourite classic making a highly anticipated comeback, suggesting it is a re-released heritage model rather than a strictly limited edition, but availability can vary.
Troubleshooting
Sneakers feel too tight or loose
Ensure you have the correct size. New Balance 740s generally run true to size, but individual foot shapes vary. Consider trying a half size up or down, or adjusting lacing for a more customized fit.
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes be caused by friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, dusting the inside of the shoe, and placing the insole back. If the issue persists, a small amount of baby powder under the insole can help.
Stains on the mesh or synthetic overlays
For fresh stains, gently dab with a soft cloth and a mixture of mild soap and cold water. For tougher spots, a sneaker cleaning solution designed for multi-material shoes can be used with a soft brush. Always test in an inconspicuous area first.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care and Maintenance
To preserve the appearance and longevity of your New Balance 740 sneakers:
- Spot Clean Regularly: Use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and cold water to gently clean the mesh and synthetic overlays.
- Avoid Machine Washing: This can damage the materials and structure of the shoe.
- Air Dry: Always air dry your sneakers at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or heat sources, which can cause materials to warp or crack.
- Protect from Moisture: While the mesh is breathable, it offers limited water resistance. Consider a water and stain protector spray for added defense against the elements.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
