FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
While the New Balance 740 Trainers have a 'retro runner vibe' and excellent ABZORB cushioning, they are primarily designed as a lifestyle shoe for casual wear and light activity. For high-performance running, we recommend trainers specifically engineered for that purpose.
What is ABZORB cushioning?
ABZORB is a proprietary New Balance foam blend that provides superior cushioning and compression resistance. It helps absorb impact through a combination of cushioning and compression setting, delivering a soft and stable feel underfoot.
How do I clean the white mesh upper?
For best results, use a soft brush or cloth with a mild soap solution and gently scrub the dirty areas. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing, as this can damage the materials. Always air dry away from direct heat.
Do New Balance 740 trainers run true to size?
Generally, New Balance trainers are considered to run true to size. However, fit can vary by individual foot shape. We recommend trying them on to ensure the best fit, especially if you are unsure about your UK size 12. (For online purchases, refer to New Balance's official sizing guide.)
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
The New Balance 740 Trainers feature a breathable mesh upper, which is not waterproof. While they can handle light dampness, prolonged exposure to heavy rain should be avoided to protect the materials and your comfort.
Troubleshooting
My trainers feel too tight/loose.
Ensure you've selected the correct UK size 12. Try adjusting the lacing pattern for a more comfortable fit. If new, allow for a brief break-in period as materials may soften and adapt.
The white upper is getting dirty quickly.
Regularly spot clean your trainers using a soft cloth or brush with mild soap and water. For stubborn marks, consider a specialized shoe cleaner designed for mesh and synthetic materials. Avoid letting dirt set in.
Cushioning feels less responsive over time.
The lifespan of cushioning depends on usage intensity. If they're frequently worn for active use, cushioning can compress. This is natural wear and tear. Consider if they are still providing adequate support for your needs.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Exceptional Comfort: ABZORB cushioning provides excellent shock absorption for daily wear.
- Classic, Versatile Style: The retro runner design and crisp white color complement many casual outfits.
- Breathable Design: Mesh upper promotes air circulation, keeping feet cool.
- Durable Construction: Combines breathable and durable materials for lasting use.
Cons
- Limited Color Options: Primarily available in white for this series (based on provided data), which may show dirt more easily.
- Not Designed for High-Performance Sports: While comfortable, they are a retro lifestyle shoe, not optimized for intense athletic activities like competitive running.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
New Balance 740 trainers require no complex setup. Simply put them on and adjust the laces to your comfort. A short "break-in" period of light wear might be beneficial to allow the materials to conform to your foot shape.
Compatibility:
- Everyday Wear: Perfect for casual outings, daily commutes, and relaxed social events.
- Light Activity: Suitable for walking, light exercise, and general leisure activities.
- Style Integration: Complements casual wear such as jeans, shorts, athleisure wear, and even some smart-casual ensembles due to their clean design.
Care:
Maintaining your New Balance 740 trainers, especially the white upper, will extend their lifespan and keep them looking fresh.
- Spot Cleaning: For minor dirt and scuffs, use a soft brush or cloth dampened with a mild soap solution (like dish soap diluted in water). Gently rub the affected area.
- Mesh Areas: Use a soft-bristled brush (like an old toothbrush) to gently clean the mesh, being careful not to damage the material.
- Laces: Remove laces and wash them separately by hand with soap and water, or place them in a mesh laundry bag and machine wash on a delicate cycle.
- Drying: Always air dry your trainers away from direct heat or sunlight. Stuffing them with paper towels can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
- Avoid Machine Washing: Do not machine wash your trainers as it can damage the materials and adhesive.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
