FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running marathons?
The New Balance 740 trainers are designed for general training and casual wear. While they offer good cushioning, they are not specifically engineered for the high-impact demands of marathon running. For marathon running, specialized running shoes are recommended.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the product description for the specific size (e.g., UK 8). It is recommended to measure your foot and compare it to the New Balance sizing chart if available, or try them on if possible.
Can I wear these trainers in wet conditions?
The rubber outsole provides good traction, but the textile upper is not waterproof. While they can handle light moisture, they are not intended for prolonged use in heavy rain or wet environments.
What is the primary benefit of the ABZORB midsole?
The ABZORB midsole provides superior shock absorption, helping to reduce the impact on your feet and joints during activity, contributing to overall comfort.
How should I store these trainers when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure they are clean and dry before storing to prevent odor or material damage. Using a shoe tree can help maintain their shape.
What is the difference between the Grey/Silver and Grey/White colorways?
The Grey/Silver variant features silver accents in addition to grey, while the Grey/White variant incorporates white detailing. Both share the same design and technology.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring they are not overtightened. If the issue persists, consider if the size is appropriate or if break-in time is needed.
Slipping sensation inside the shoe
Ensure the laces are securely fastened to lock the foot in place. Check if the socks worn are suitable for athletic footwear.
Reduced cushioning over time
While the ABZORB midsole is durable, cushioning can naturally decrease with extensive use. Clean the shoes regularly and ensure they are not subjected to excessive wear.
Poor traction on certain surfaces
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from mud or debris. The tread pattern is designed for general use; specialized activities may require specific footwear.
