FAQs

Are New Balance 740 Trainers suitable for running?

The New Balance 740 Trainers are primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual shoe. While comfortable for everyday walking, they are not engineered with the specialized support and cushioning required for dedicated running activities.

How do I determine my size for the New Balance 740?

New Balance generally offers a consistent fit. We recommend referring to the official New Balance size guide if available, and trying them on to ensure the best fit. If you're between sizes, consider ordering both to compare, or consult customer reviews for fit advice.

What materials are the New Balance 740 Trainers made from?

The 740 Trainers feature a breathable mesh upper combined with angular overlays. While the primary product described uses mesh and synthetic overlays, specific material compositions (e.g., leather, suede, polyester) can vary across different colorways and variants within the 740 series.

Can I machine wash my New Balance 740 Trainers?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure of the trainers. Please follow the hand-cleaning instructions outlined in the care section to maintain their condition.

Are these trainers water-resistant?

The breathable mesh upper, while great for ventilation, is not designed to be water-resistant. These trainers are best suited for dry conditions and light urban use. Exposure to heavy rain or wet environments may lead to water seeping into the shoe.

Do New Balance 740 Trainers offer arch support?

The New Balance 740 provides standard cushioning and moderate arch support suitable for general daily wear. For individuals requiring specific orthotic support, the insoles are often removable, allowing for custom inserts if needed.

Troubleshooting

Trainers feel too tight or loose

Ensure you have the correct size. Try adjusting the lacing technique; looser lacing can alleviate tightness, while tighter lacing can improve security. Consider wearing socks of different thicknesses.

Trainers get dirty quickly

Regularly wipe down the trainers after use. For tougher spots, use a mild shoe cleaner specifically designed for mesh and synthetic materials. Avoid letting dirt set in.

Unpleasant odor developing

Remove insoles and allow trainers to air out thoroughly after each wear. Use shoe deodorizing sprays or inserts. Ensure you wear clean, moisture-wicking socks.

Mesh appears creased or misshapen

Stuff the trainers with newspaper or shoe trees when not in use to help maintain their shape. Avoid excessive bending or crushing during storage.

Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces

The outsole is designed for general urban traction. Exercise caution on very wet, icy, or extremely smooth surfaces. Ensure the soles are clean of debris which can reduce grip.

Care Instructions

Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your trainers:

  • Cleaning the Upper: For the breathable mesh and angular overlays, gently wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap (if necessary). Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes.
  • Sole Cleaning: Use a soft brush or cloth to remove dirt and debris from the outsole and midsole.
  • Drying: Always air dry your trainers at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight, which can damage materials.
  • Odor Control: Remove insoles periodically to air out. Consider using shoe deodorizers if needed.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
