FAQs

What is New Balance ABZORB technology?

ABZORB is a proprietary foam material developed by New Balance that provides exceptional shock absorption and cushioning. It effectively distributes impact forces, reducing stress on your feet and joints for enhanced comfort.

Are these sneakers suitable for running?

The New Balance U740MU2 is inspired by classic running shoes and offers great comfort for daily wear and light activities suchases walking. However, it is primarily designed as a lifestyle sneaker rather than a performance running shoe for intense workouts or long-distance running.

How should I clean my U740MU2 sneakers?

For best results, use a soft cloth or brush with mild soap and water to gently clean the mesh and synthetic parts. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing. Allow them to air dry completely at room temperature.

What materials are used in the U740MU2?

The U740MU2 features an open knit mesh upper for breathability, synthetic overlays for structure and durability, and an ABZORB foam midsole for cushioning. The outsole is typically made of durable rubber for traction.

Do these shoes run true to size?

New Balance shoes generally run true to size. However, fit can be subjective due to individual foot shapes. We recommend checking the New Balance size guide if available or trying them on to ensure the best fit for your feet.

What is the inspiration behind the design of the U740MU2?

The design of the U740MU2 draws inspiration from classic 2000s-era running shoes, combining elements like an open knit mesh and segmented midsole with modern flourishes such as angular overlays and reflective accents to create a unique visual identity.

Can these shoes be worn in wet weather?

While the synthetic overlays offer some protection, the open knit mesh upper is not fully waterproof. We recommend avoiding heavy rain or using a water-resistant spray specifically designed for synthetic materials for light moisture protection.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or loose during wear

Adjust lacing tension to achieve a more comfortable fit. Experiment with different lacing techniques. If discomfort persists, verify you have the correct size; fit can vary slightly between models and brands.

Shoes are getting dirty quickly or show stains

Regularly clean the shoes using a damp cloth and mild soap. For enhanced protection against dirt and stains, apply a suitable shoe protector spray designed for mesh and synthetic materials before initial wear and periodically thereafter.

A squeaking sound occurs when walking

This is often caused by insoles rubbing against the shoe's interior. Try removing and reinserting the insoles. If the issue continues, sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch underneath the insoles can reduce friction.

Feet feel hot or sweaty while wearing the shoes

Ensure you are wearing appropriate moisture-wicking socks. While the open knit mesh upper is designed for breathability, proper sock choice significantly enhances comfort and manages moisture.

Setup:

The New Balance U740MU2 sneakers are ready to wear right out of the box. Simply lace them up to your preferred comfort and fit. Ensure the laces are snug but not too tight to allow for natural foot movement.

Compatibility:

These sneakers are designed for adults and are available in a range of UK sizes, offering a unisex fit. Always refer to your usual shoe size or consult a size guide to ensure optimal comfort and fit for your feet.

Care:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: For the mesh and synthetic overlays, gently wipe with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild, non-abrasive soap. Avoid saturating the material.
  2. Midsole and Outsole: Use a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) or a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris from the midsole and outsole.
  3. Drying: Always allow your sneakers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators, heaters, or direct sunlight, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
  4. Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve their condition and prevent material degradation.
  5. Protection: Consider applying a protective spray specifically designed for mesh and synthetic footwear before initial wear. This can help repel water and stains, making cleaning easier and extending the life of your shoes.
