FAQs

What material are these New Balance 740 Trainers made from?

These trainers feature a breathable mesh upper combined with angular faux leather overlays for a distinctive look and feel.

Are these trainers suitable for men or women?

The New Balance 740 Trainers are designed as a unisex product, suitable for both men and women seeking a classic and comfortable everyday shoe.

How should I clean my New Balance 740s?

For the faux leather, wipe gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. For the mesh areas, use a soft brush to remove dirt. Always air dry your trainers away from direct heat. Do not machine wash.

Can I use these trainers for running or intense sports?

While comfortable for everyday wear and light activities, the New Balance 740 is primarily a lifestyle trainer, not engineered for high-performance running or intense sports. For such activities, we recommend specialized athletic footwear.

Troubleshooting

Trainers feel too tight or loose.

Ensure you've selected the correct size. Try adjusting the lacing pattern; some prefer looser lacing over the toes and tighter near the ankle. If still uncomfortable, consider checking New Balance's official size guide for future purchases.

Faux leather appears dull or scuffed.

Clean the faux leather with a dedicated faux leather cleaner or a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap, then gently buff with a dry, soft cloth. For minor scuffs, a faux leather conditioner designed for synthetic materials may help restore its appearance.

Persistent foot odor after wear.

Remove insoles regularly to air them out. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the trainers when not in use. Always wear clean, breathable socks to help manage moisture and odor. If odor persists, consider replacing the insoles.

Care

To maintain the appearance and longevity of your New Balance 740 Trainers, follow these guidelines:

  • Cleaning Faux Leather: Gently wipe the faux leather surfaces with a soft, damp cloth using a small amount of mild soap (e.g., dish soap diluted in water). Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  • Cleaning Mesh: Use a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) to gently remove dirt and debris from the mesh upper.
  • Drying: Always allow your trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage materials.
  • Avoid Machine Washing: Do not machine wash or tumble dry your trainers, as this can deform them and damage the materials.
  • Odor Control: Remove insoles periodically to air them out. You can also use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside when not in use.
