FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The New Balance 740 is inspired by classic running shoes and offers good cushioning with its ABZORB midsole, making it comfortable for daily wear and light activities. While it originated from running designs, it's primarily intended as a lifestyle sneaker rather than a performance running shoe for intense training.
What is ABZORB cushioning?
ABZORB is a proprietary New Balance foam material that provides excellent cushioning and absorbs impact effectively through a combination of cushioning and compression resistance.
How do I determine my size?
The New Balance 740 is available in standard UK adult sizing. It's recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with New Balance's official sizing chart. If you are between sizes, consider trying the larger size, especially if you prefer a roomier fit.
Can I wear these shoes in the rain?
The New Balance 740 features an open knit mesh upper, which provides breathability but offers limited water resistance. For rainy conditions, it's advisable to wear more water-resistant footwear to keep your feet dry.
How often should I clean my New Balance 740s?
Cleaning frequency depends on your usage and environment. For daily wear, a light wipe-down weekly or as needed to remove surface dirt is recommended. A more thorough cleaning can be done monthly or when visible stains appear.
What materials are used in the shoe?
The New Balance 740 features an open knit mesh upper for breathability, synthetic overlays for structure and style, an ABZORB midsole for cushioning, and a rubber outsole for durability and traction. The specific material for the overlays can be Leather or Nylon depending on the variant.
Is the 'N' logo reflective?
While the shoe features reflective accents, the moulded TPU 'N' logo itself is typically a solid, sleek finish and not specifically noted as reflective. The reflective elements are usually found in other parts of the angular overlays.
Is this model suitable for wide feet?
Info needed: [New Balance often offers various widths for some models. It's best to check if the 740 model is available in specific width options or if it naturally runs wider than average. Customer reviews or trying them on can provide further insight.]
Troubleshooting
My feet feel uncomfortable or too tight.
Ensure laces are not overtightened. Try adjusting the lacing pattern to relieve pressure points. If the issue persists, consider verifying your size against New Balance's sizing chart, as fit can vary.
The shoes look dirty quickly.
Regularly clean the mesh upper and overlays with a damp cloth and mild soap. For persistent dirt, a soft brush can be used. Avoid letting mud or stains dry on the material, clean them promptly.
The cushioning doesn't feel as responsive over time.
Cushioning materials can compress over extended use. Ensure the shoes are primarily used for their intended purpose (daily wear/light activity) rather than high-impact sports, which can accelerate wear. Consider rotating with other footwear.

Care
Proper care helps extend the life and appearance of your New Balance 740 sneakers:
- Cleaning the Upper: For the mesh upper and synthetic/leather overlays, gently wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Midsole & Outsole: Clean the ABZORB midsole and rubber outsole with a brush or cloth dampened with soapy water to remove dirt and grime.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight, which can damage materials. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
- Reflective Accents: Avoid scrubbing reflective elements aggressively to preserve their integrity.
