Product Information

Full details

The New Balance 740 trainers are designed for adults seeking a blend of enduring urban style and everyday comfort. Their key benefit lies in the ABZORB midsole, which cushions every step for all-day wear. A potential caveat is the specific colorway and materials may appeal more to those who appreciate a nostalgic, 2000s-inspired aesthetic.

FAQs

Are these suitable for running?

The New Balance 740 trainers are designed primarily for casual wear and offer good cushioning for walking. They are not specialized running shoes and may lack the specific support and features required for intense athletic training.

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is constructed from a combination of synthetic materials, airy mesh, and suede overlays, offering a balance of breathability and support.

How do I clean the suede parts?

Use a dedicated suede brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner, always testing on an inconspicuous area first and allowing the shoes to air dry.

What does ABZORB mean?

ABZORB is New Balance's proprietary technology that provides a blend of cushioning and compression resistance, designed to absorb impact forces and offer comfort.

What is the typical fit of the 740 model?

The 740 generally offers a standard fit. Lace closure allows for adjustability to accommodate different foot widths, but it's always recommended to check sizing guides or try them on if possible.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

While the synthetic and suede materials offer some protection, these trainers are not waterproof. They are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain may damage the materials and affect comfort.

What is the main design inspiration for the 740?

The design is inspired by models from the 2000s era, featuring a bold and nostalgic aesthetic characteristic of that period.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Loosen the laces and adjust for a more comfortable fit. If still tight, ensure you have the correct size; consider if the materials might stretch slightly with wear.

Discoloration on suede areas

Use a suede eraser for light marks. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner following product instructions. Ensure shoes are dry before brushing.

Squeaking noise

This can sometimes occur due to friction between shoe parts or moisture. Try talcum powder under the insole or check if the sole is separating.

Mesh upper feels less breathable

Ensure the mesh is clean and free of debris. Regular cleaning can help maintain airflow. Avoid wearing in extremely humid conditions if breathability is paramount.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent cushioning for all-day comfort thanks to ABZORB technology.
  • Durable construction with a mix of synthetic, mesh, and suede materials.
  • Secure and adjustable fit through the lace-up closure.
  • Stylish design with a nostalgic 2000s-era influence.
  • Lightweight feel, especially on no-sew variants.

Cons

  • The style might be too specific for those preferring modern minimalist designs.
  • Suede overlays may require more careful cleaning and maintenance.
  • Durability of mesh panels can vary with intense usage.
  • Split rubber outsole may offer less aggressive grip compared to specialized trainers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers require no setup beyond lacing them up for a secure fit.

Compatibility: The New Balance 740 is a versatile trainer designed for casual wear. It pairs well with a variety of casual clothing styles, from jeans and shorts to athletic wear.

Care:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: For mesh and synthetic parts, use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and water. For suede overlays, use a dedicated suede brush to remove dirt and stains. Avoid soaking the shoes.
  2. Midsole and Outsole: Clean with a damp cloth. Stubborn dirt on the rubber outsole can be removed with a brush and soapy water.
  3. Drying: Air dry the trainers naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage the materials.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or box, to protect them from dust and moisture.
