Product Information
Full details
The New Balance 740 trainers are designed for adults seeking a blend of retro style and modern comfort for everyday wear. These unisex trainers offer a lightweight, supportive feel thanks to their no-sew synthetic panels and ABZORB midsole, with a split rubber outsole providing reliable traction. While they are inspired by classic 2000s running shoes, their primary use is for casual street style rather than high-mileage running.

FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The New Balance 740 trainers are inspired by running shoe designs but are best suited for casual wear and light activity. For serious running, it's recommended to use shoes specifically designed for performance running.
How do I determine my size?
Refer to the New Balance sizing chart, typically available on retailer websites or the New Balance official site. These are unisex trainers, so consider standard men's sizing or consult conversion charts for women if applicable.
What is the ABZORB midsole technology?
ABZORB is a New Balance proprietary technology that combines cushioning and compression resistance. It helps absorb shock, providing a comfortable and supportive feel underfoot.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
It is not recommended to machine wash New Balance trainers. Hand washing with a soft brush and mild soap is the preferred method for cleaning to preserve the materials and structure.
What is the difference between 'No Sew' and regular 740 models?
The 'No Sew' models utilize synthetic panels bonded to the upper without traditional stitching, resulting in a lighter weight and a cleaner aesthetic. Other models may use stitched overlays for support and design.
How do I care for the mesh upper?
Gently clean the mesh with a soft brush or a damp cloth. For tougher spots, use a very mild soap diluted in water and blot carefully. Always air dry.
Troubleshooting
Slightly snug fit
Wear them around the house for short periods to allow them to mold to your feet. Ensure laces are not tied too tightly.
Mesh material appears dirty
Gently clean the mesh with a soft brush and a mild soap and water solution. Blot with a clean, damp cloth and allow to air dry.
Reduced cushioning over time
While ABZORB is durable, cushioning naturally decreases with extensive wear. Consider rotating with another pair of shoes for longevity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers require no specific setup. They are ready to wear out of the box.
Compatibility: The unisex design makes them suitable for a wide range of individuals. They pair well with casual attire.
Care:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or a damp cloth to gently wipe away dirt and debris from the mesh and synthetic panels. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Use a damp cloth to clean the midsole and outsole. For stubborn marks on the rubber outsole, a mild soap and water solution can be used, followed by a thorough rinse with a clean, damp cloth.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
- Laces: Remove laces before cleaning and wash them separately by hand.
