FAQs

Are the New Balance 740 trainers suitable for running?

The New Balance 740 is designed as a lifestyle trainer for everyday comfort and style, not for specialized athletic performance like running. While they offer cushioning, they lack the specific support and features of dedicated running shoes.

How do I choose the right size?

Refer to the New Balance size chart for accurate measurements. It's recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with the provided sizing guide. Since these are unisex, consider checking specific fit recommendations if available.

Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?

The trainers feature a mix of materials including mesh and suede. While the rubber outsole offers some grip, they are not waterproof and prolonged exposure to wet conditions is not recommended, especially for the suede components.

What is the primary benefit of the ABZORB midsole?

The ABZORB midsole is designed to absorb impact by combining cushioning and compression resistance, providing a comfortable and supportive feel for daily wear.

How often should I clean my 740 trainers?

Cleaning frequency depends on usage. For daily wear, a spot clean as needed is sufficient. A more thorough cleaning can be done periodically, ensuring to follow the care instructions to avoid damage to the materials.

What kind of outfits do these trainers go well with?

The New Balance 740 trainers have a versatile, classic design that pairs well with jeans, shorts, joggers, and other casual streetwear. Their heritage-inspired look makes them a good match for relaxed, everyday fashion.

Do these trainers come in other colors?

Yes, the New Balance 740 series is available in various colorways. Please check the product listing or retailer for the full range of available colors and secondary color options.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking noise during walking

This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try walking on different surfaces or ensure all laces are tied evenly. If persistent, a small amount of powder under the insole might help.

Discomfort or pressure points

Ensure the correct size has been selected. New shoes may require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially. Check that laces are not tied too tightly.

Suede looking dull or stained

Use a dedicated suede brush to restore the nap. For stains, try a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth followed by proper drying and brushing.

Reduced cushioning effectiveness over time

The ABZORB cushioning may naturally decrease with extensive use. Consider replacing the insoles for an added boost of comfort if needed.
