Product Information

Full details

The New Balance 740 trainers are designed for adults seeking a blend of enduring urban style and comfortable, supportive wear for daily activities. Their key benefit lies in the ABZORB midsole, which provides excellent cushioning for all-day comfort, a notable advantage for those on their feet. A potential caveat is that while inspired by running designs, they are best suited for casual wear rather than high-impact athletic performance.

FAQs

Are the New Balance 740 trainers suitable for running?

While the 740s are inspired by running shoe designs and feature cushioning, they are best suited for casual wear and daily activities rather than high-impact running or athletic training. For dedicated running, consider New Balance models specifically designed for performance.

How do I clean the suede parts of the trainers?

Use a dedicated suede brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, a specialized suede cleaner is recommended. Always test any cleaning product on a small, hidden area first and follow the product's instructions.

What is ABZORB technology?

ABZORB is a New Balance technology that provides excellent shock absorption and cushioning. It helps to reduce the impact on your feet and joints, offering enhanced comfort during wear.

Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?

No, machine washing is not recommended for the New Balance 740 trainers as it can damage the materials, particularly the suede and the ABZORB midsole. Hand wash or spot clean using mild detergents and a damp cloth.

What is the best way to ensure a correct fit?

Refer to the New Balance size chart for accurate measurements. If possible, try the shoes on, paying attention to length, width, and overall comfort. Ensure your heel is secure and there is adequate room in the toe box.

Are these trainers waterproof?

The trainers are not waterproof. The mesh upper offers breathability but will not protect against significant water exposure. The suede overlays may also be susceptible to water damage and staining.

How durable are the New Balance 740 trainers for daily use?

The combination of synthetic, mesh, and suede materials, along with a robust rubber outsole, offers good durability for everyday casual wear. However, longevity will depend on the frequency of use and care provided.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable

Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring a snug but not overly tight fit. If discomfort persists, consider if the size is correct or if the shoe requires a break-in period.

Suede material appears dirty or stained

Use a suede brush to lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, consult a specialized suede cleaner and follow the instructions carefully. Test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.

Traction feels reduced on slick surfaces

Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from debris. If the shoe is heavily worn, the tread may be diminished, indicating it's time for replacement.

Mesh upper shows signs of wear or tear

Minor fraying can sometimes be addressed with fabric glue. For significant tears, the shoe may need to be retired from heavy use.

  • Midsole: Wipe the ABZORB midsole with a damp cloth. Avoid soaking.
  • Outsole: Clean the rubber outsole with water and a brush to remove any embedded dirt.
