FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The 740 is primarily designed as a lifestyle trainer for daily wear and walking, rather than for high-impact athletic running.
How should I clean the white material?
Use a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals and machine washing, which can damage the adhesive and cushioning.
Do these shoes provide good arch support?
The shoe features standard internal support and a comfortable ABZORB midsole, but those needing custom orthotics can easily remove the stock insole.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics or third-party inserts.
Are these trainers true to size?
Generally, New Balance trainers fit true to standard adult sizing, though it is recommended to wear the socks you intend to use with the shoes when trying them on.
What is the primary benefit of the ABZORB technology?
ABZORB is designed for superior shock absorption, helping to disperse impact energy and protect your joints during daily movement.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight across the top of the foot
Try a different lacing technique, such as skipping the eyelets directly over the pressure point, or loosen the laces slightly before tying.
Stains appearing on the white exterior
Spot clean immediately using a gentle sneaker cleaner or a mild soap solution and a soft cloth.
Loss of traction on wet surfaces
Check the outsole for debris lodged in the tread pattern; clean the tread with a brush to restore grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 740 trainers remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Fitting: Adjust the laces to accommodate your natural foot shape, ensuring the padded tongue sits flat against the bridge of your foot.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush or a damp cloth to wipe down the exterior white synthetic materials. Avoid submerging the shoes in water, as this can degrade the padding and cushioning materials.
- Drying: Always air dry your trainers away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can cause the sole to warp or the upper materials to crack.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent yellowing of the white components.
