FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running marathons?
The New Balance 740 Trainers are inspired by running designs and offer good cushioning for daily wear and light activity. However, they are not specifically designed for the demands of marathon running, which typically requires more specialized support and cushioning.
How do I clean the mesh and synthetic parts?
Use a soft brush or cloth with a mild soap and water solution. Gently scrub the dirty areas and wipe clean with a damp cloth. Allow to air dry completely.
What is ABZORB technology?
ABZORB is New Balance's proprietary cushioning technology that absorbs shock and helps to return energy, providing a comfortable and responsive feel underfoot.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and the ABZORB midsole. Hand washing and air drying is the preferred method for cleaning.
What is the primary material used for the upper?
The upper is a combination of synthetic materials and breathable mesh, enhanced with suede overlays for added durability and style.
Are these trainers available in other colors?
The specific product information provided focuses on the Grey variant. Availability of other colors may vary by retailer and season.
What size should I choose if I'm between sizes?
As a general guideline, if you are between sizes, it's often recommended to try the larger size for trainers, especially if you plan to wear thicker socks. However, fit can be personal, so trying them on is ideal if possible.
Troubleshooting
Slightly tight fit on arrival
Loosen the laces and wear the shoes for short periods to allow them to break in. If still too tight, consider if socks are too thick.
Squeaking noise during walking
This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try loosening and re-tightening the laces, or check if the insole is properly seated. If the noise persists, it may be internal and could resolve with further wear.
Dirt on suede areas
Use a dry suede brush to gently lift off surface dirt. For more stubborn marks, use a dedicated suede eraser or cleaner, following product instructions carefully.
