FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The New Balance 740s are designed primarily for lifestyle and casual walking rather than high-performance running.
How should I clean the leather material?
Wipe with a soft, damp cloth and use a dedicated leather cleaner. Avoid using harsh chemicals or machine washing.
Do these shoes run true to size?
The New Balance 740s generally follow standard sizing; however, since they are leather, they may feel snug at first before conforming to your foot.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
While the leather offers some protection, they are not waterproof. Use a leather-safe water repellent spray to increase resistance to light moisture.
What is the function of the ABZORB midsole?
ABZORB is a proprietary foam blend that absorbs shock by cushioning the foot and resisting compression over time.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the leather upper
Leather creasing is normal with wear. Use a shoe tree when not in use to help maintain the structure and minimize deep creases.
Loss of traction
Clean the rubber outsole with soapy water and a stiff brush to remove embedded debris that may be obstructing the tread.
Insole comfort diminished
Consider replacing the original insoles with third-party inserts if you require additional arch support or extra cushioning.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your New Balance 740 Trainers, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in Period: While comfortable out of the box, allow for a few days of light wear to let the leather naturally contour to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, apply a leather-specific cleaner using a damp cloth; avoid submerging the shoes in water.
- Maintenance: Apply a leather conditioner every few months to keep the material supple and prevent cracking.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry area away from direct heat sources, which can cause the leather to dry out and the midsole foam to degrade prematurely.
