FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for serious running?
The New Balance 740s are designed with a focus on daily comfort and light jogging or casual running. While they offer excellent cushioning for everyday use, dedicated long-distance or high-performance running shoes might be more appropriate for serious training.
What does ABZORB cushioning do?
ABZORB is a proprietary New Balance foam material that provides superior shock absorption. It helps to cushion the impact of your foot striking the ground, offering a softer and more comfortable experience with each step.
How do I clean the white mesh and synthetic materials?
For best results, use a soft brush or a clean, damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap. Gently scrub dirty areas and wipe clean. Air dry completely away from direct heat. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing.
Are the New Balance 740s true to size?
Info needed: Sizing can sometimes vary between models or individuals. It's generally recommended to refer to New Balance's official sizing chart or try them on to ensure the best fit.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
While the synthetic materials offer some resistance, the mesh panels are breathable and not waterproof. These shoes are not designed for heavy rain or wet conditions, which could lead to wet feet. Consider a water-resistant spray for light moisture protection.
What is the primary material composition of the upper?
The upper of the New Balance 740 is constructed from a combination of textile (mesh) and synthetic panels, designed for breathability and support.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel uncomfortable or rub.
Ensure you have the correct size. Try adjusting the lacing pattern for a better fit, or experimenting with different socks (thicker/thinner) to optimize comfort.
White upper gets dirty quickly.
Regularly spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Consider applying a shoe protector spray designed for textile and synthetic materials before initial wear to repel water and stains.
Squeaking sound when walking.
Sometimes a squeak can come from the insole rubbing against the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, cleaning the area, and lightly applying baby powder or cornstarch underneath before reinserting. If it's the outsole, check for debris.
Lack of arch support for my foot type.
While the 740s offer good general cushioning, if you require specific arch support, consider replacing the factory insoles with aftermarket orthopedic inserts tailored to your foot's needs.

Care & Maintenance
Given the textile and synthetic upper and the white color, regular care is essential to keep your 740s looking their best:
- Spot Cleaning: For minor dirt and scuffs, use a soft brush or damp cloth with mild soap and water. Gently scrub the affected areas.
- Deep Cleaning: For more thorough cleaning, mix a small amount of laundry detergent with warm water. Use a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) to clean the mesh and synthetic parts. Rinse with a clean, damp cloth.
- Laces: Remove laces and wash them separately by hand with soap and water, or machine wash in a mesh bag.
- Drying: Always air dry your sneakers away from direct heat or sunlight to prevent damage to materials and adhesives. Do not put them in a dryer.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
Do not machine wash or submerge the entire shoe in water, as this can damage the cushioning and materials.
