FAQs
Are these New Balance 740 Trainers suitable for running or intense athletic activities?
While providing Abzorb cushioning for support and comfort, these 740 trainers are primarily designed for everyday wear and versatile style, not high-performance athletic activities like running or rigorous sports.
How should I clean the leather on my trainers?
For general cleaning, wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper cleaning or conditioning, use products specifically designed for leather footwear. Always allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
What does 'Abzorb cushioning' mean?
Abzorb cushioning is a New Balance technology designed to absorb impact through a blend of foam cushioning and compression set. This provides enhanced comfort and support for daily wear.
Are the New Balance 740 Trainers true to size?
The New Balance 740 Trainers for adults are typically designed to fit true to size. For the best fit, we recommend referring to a New Balance size chart or trying them on if possible.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While durable leather offers some protection, these trainers are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain should be avoided to preserve the leather and overall integrity of the shoe.
What age group are these trainers designed for?
These New Balance 740 Trainers are specifically designed for the 'adult' age group.
Troubleshooting
Leather appears dry, stiff, or is starting to crack.
Apply a suitable leather conditioner or balm specifically designed for footwear. Regular conditioning helps nourish the leather, maintaining its flexibility and preventing damage, as these trainers are crafted with durable leather.
Foot odor is noticeable after wear.
Ensure proper ventilation by allowing the trainers to air out after each use. Consider using odor-absorbing inserts or a shoe deodorizer spray to maintain fresh conditions, leveraging the design for breathable comfort.
The trainers feel less comfortable or supportive over time.
While Abzorb cushioning is designed for all-day support, its effectiveness can diminish with heavy, prolonged use. Ensure you are cleaning your trainers regularly and storing them correctly. If severe, consider replacing them or consulting a podiatrist.

Care
Maintaining your leather New Balance 740 Trainers will extend their lifespan and keep them looking their best. Follow these guidelines:
- Regular Cleaning: Wipe the leather surface with a soft, damp cloth after use to remove dirt and dust. For stubborn marks, use a small amount of mild soap diluted in water, applying it gently with a cloth.
- Leather Conditioning: Periodically apply a high-quality leather conditioner or cream. This helps keep the leather supple, prevents drying and cracking, and maintains its natural luster.
- Drying: If your trainers get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage and dry out the leather.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use strong detergents, solvents, or abrasive cleaners, as these can strip the leather of its natural oils and damage the material.
