FAQs

What activities are these New Balance 740 trainers best suited for?

These trainers are primarily designed for casual everyday wear, urban exploration, and light activities like walking or leisurely strolls. While reliable, they are not specialized for high-intensity athletic performance.

How do I determine the correct size?

The New Balance 740 trainers are generally considered true to size. For the best fit, we recommend referring to the official New Balance sizing chart and measuring your foot length. This specific variant is a UK 6.5.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and structural integrity of the trainers. Please refer to the 'Care' section for recommended gentle cleaning methods.

What are the key materials used in the New Balance 740 (Silver) trainers?

The primary materials include a breathable mesh upper and distinctive angular overlays. The breathable mesh ensures comfort and airflow. Info needed: Specific details on other sole or interior lining materials are not provided.

Is the New Balance 740 series available in other colors?

Yes, while this specific product is Silver, the New Balance 740 series is often released in various colorways, including White and Grey, as seen in other variants. Availability depends on the retailer and current collections.

What does 'homage to its early 2000s history' mean for the design?

It means the design elements, such as the overall silhouette, lines, and possibly the choice of materials or detailing, are inspired by New Balance models from the early 2000s, giving the trainer a nostalgic yet timeless appeal.

Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?

Info needed: The product description does not specify if these trainers come in different width options. Generally, New Balance offers various widths for some models, but standard sizing usually fits average foot widths. If you have wide feet, it's advisable to try them on or check specific product listings for width options.

Troubleshooting

Trainer feels too tight or too loose.

Adjust lacing to customize the fit to your foot. Experiment with different lacing patterns. If the fit is still incorrect, consider referring to New Balance's sizing guide or trying a different size.

Trainers develop an unpleasant odour.

Ensure you remove insoles and air out trainers after each use. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside when not in use. Always wear clean, breathable socks to help manage moisture.

Stains on the mesh or overlays are difficult to remove.

Address stains promptly. For mesh, use a soft brush with mild soap and water. For other overlays (if not leather), a gentle wipe may suffice. For specific material types not mentioned (e.g., suede, leather from other variants), consult specific care guides for those materials if applicable. Avoid harsh scrubbing.

Sole shows signs of premature wear.

Ensure trainers are used for appropriate activities. While reliable for casual use, they are not designed for extreme impact or abrasive activities which can accelerate sole wear. Rotating with other footwear can also extend their lifespan.

Colour appears faded or dull over time.

Store trainers away from direct sunlight when not in use, as prolonged UV exposure can cause colours to fade. Regular gentle cleaning also helps maintain their original vibrancy.

Care

Proper care will help maintain the appearance and extend the lifespan of your trainers.

  1. General Cleaning: Gently brush off any loose dirt or dust after each wear using a soft-bristled brush.
  2. Spot Cleaning: For light stains on the mesh or overlays, mix a small amount of mild soap (like dish soap) with lukewarm water. Dampen a soft cloth or sponge with the solution and gently wipe the affected area.
  3. Rinsing: Use a separate damp cloth (with plain water) to wipe away any soap residue.
  4. Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry completely at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or artificial heat sources (like radiators or hairdryers), as excessive heat can damage materials.
  5. Deodorizing: To prevent odors, remove insoles and air out your trainers after each use. You can also use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside when not in use.
  6. Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place. Stuffing them with tissue paper or shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
  7. Avoid: Do not machine wash or tumble dry your trainers. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the materials and color.
