FAQs
Are the New Balance 740 trainers suitable for professional running?
While inspired by running shoe heritage and featuring ABZORB cushioning, the New Balance 740 trainers are primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear. For high-performance athletic activities, it's recommended to use shoes specifically engineered for that sport.
How do I ensure the best fit?
It is recommended to consult the New Balance size chart available online or in-store. Trying the shoes on, ideally at the end of the day when feet are slightly larger, can help determine the most accurate fit.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended. It can damage the materials, adhesives, and structure of the shoe. Hand-cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method.
What is the primary benefit of the ABZORB midsole?
The ABZORB midsole technology is designed to provide excellent shock absorption, reducing impact forces on your feet and joints, thereby enhancing comfort during wear.
Do these trainers offer good ventilation?
Yes, the open-knit mesh upper is designed to provide good airflow, making the trainers breathable and comfortable, especially in warmer conditions.
Are there reflective elements on the shoes?
Yes, the New Balance 740 trainers include reflective accents to improve visibility in low-light conditions.
What is the outsole made of?
The outsole is made of rubber, providing durability and reliable traction on various surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
Adjust the lacing to find a comfortable fit. If the fit remains an issue, consider checking a size guide or trying a different size, as sizing can vary.
Reduced cushioning or support.
Over time, cushioning can naturally degrade. Ensure the shoes are appropriate for your activity level; for strenuous exercise, consider a shoe specifically designed for that purpose. Clean the shoes to remove debris that might affect performance.
Squeaking noise when walking.
This can sometimes occur due to moisture trapped between layers or a loose part. Ensure the shoes are completely dry. If the noise persists, check for any obvious loose components or consider a light powder application insole if the noise originates from there.

Care Instructions:
