FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, it is recommended to spot clean them with a damp cloth. Machine washing can damage the structural integrity and the ABZORB cushioning system.
Are the New Balance 740 trainers suitable for wide feet?
The 740 series generally features a standard fit. If you typically require wide-width shoes, you may find the standard fit snug, though the lacing system allows for some adjustment.
How long should the cushioning last?
While durability depends on usage frequency and walking patterns, the ABZORB midsole is designed to maintain its compression resistance through significant daily use.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if preferred.
Are these trainers waterproof?
The New Balance 740 is not waterproof. They are designed for breathability, so they are best suited for dry or light-weather conditions.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming untied frequently
Ensure you are using a double knot or a secure reef knot. Replace the original laces if they have become frayed.
Outsole losing traction
Clean the bottom of the tread with a stiff-bristled brush to remove trapped debris or pebbles that prevent full contact with the ground.
Discomfort or pinching during wear
Re-adjust the lacing tension throughout the eyelets to allow more volume in the toe box or midfoot area.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 740 trainers last, begin by checking that your laces are tightened comfortably—not too loose to prevent slipping, but not so tight that they restrict circulation. These trainers feature a standard fit, so they are generally compatible with most casual wardrobes.
Care Instructions:
- Wipe down the upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt.
- Allow the shoes to air dry naturally; do not place them directly on radiators or use a heat gun, as high heat can damage the foam midsole and adhesives.
- Remove the insoles occasionally to air them out, which helps maintain freshness.
- Avoid machine washing or tumble drying, as these methods can compromise the material integrity and cushioning properties.
