FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The New Balance 740 is a lifestyle trainer designed for comfort and walking. While they offer good support, they are not intended for high-intensity athletic running.
How do I clean the leather?
Wipe with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals. If the leather is heavily soiled, use a product specifically formulated for leather footwear.
Does the shoe run true to size?
The New Balance 740 is generally consistent with standard adult sizing. It is recommended to choose your typical New Balance size.
Can I replace the insole?
Yes, the internal liners can typically be removed to accommodate custom orthotics if required.
Are these waterproof?
No, while leather is naturally somewhat water-resistant, these are not fully waterproof shoes and should not be submerged.
What is the primary benefit of the ABZORB midsole?
The ABZORB midsole provides superior impact protection by combining foam cushioning with compression resistance to reduce stress on your joints.
Troubleshooting
Creasing of the leather upper
Use shoe trees when not wearing to help the material retain its shape and minimize deep-set creases.
Laces slipping during wear
Ensure you are using a double-knot or a locking lace technique if you find the laces loosening throughout the day.
Minor scuffs on leather
Use a leather conditioner or a colour-matched cream polish to buff out minor surface scuffs and restore the finish.
Pros and Cons

- Versatile and stylish low-profile aesthetic

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 740 trainers maintain their condition, proper care is essential:
Setup
- Loosen the laces completely before inserting your foot to prevent damage to the heel counter.
- Adjust the lace tension to achieve a secure fit that doesn't restrict circulation.
Care Instructions
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush or cloth to remove surface dirt. For leather care, use a dedicated leather cleaner or a damp cloth with mild soap; avoid soaking the leather.
- Drying: Always air dry at room temperature. Keep shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can cause the leather to crack.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place and use a shoe tree if possible to help maintain the silhouette.
