FAQs

What is the primary purpose of the New Balance 740?

The New Balance 740 is designed as a versatile lifestyle trainer for everyday use, combining retro runner aesthetics with comfort.

How does the ABZORB midsole benefit the wearer?

ABZORB technology absorbs shock through a combination of cushioning and compression resistance, providing comfort and reducing impact on your feet during daily activities.

Are these trainers suitable for running?

While they feature runner-inspired design elements, they are primarily intended for casual, everyday wear and not for high-performance athletic running.

What materials are used in the construction?

The trainers feature a synthetic mesh upper with suede overlays and a rubber outsole.

How should I clean my suede and mesh trainers?

Use a soft brush or damp cloth for cleaning. Avoid harsh chemicals. For suede, consider using a suede protector and brush.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

While they offer some protection, they are not waterproof. Suede can be damaged by excessive moisture, so it's best to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain.

What does the 'segmented midsole' refer to?

This refers to the visual design of the midsole, which is divided into sections, a common characteristic of older running shoe models that adds to the retro style.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.

Ensure you have the correct size. Wear with appropriate socks and allow a break-in period. The suede may stretch slightly over time.

Suede appears dirty or stained.

Use a specialized suede cleaner and brush. For minor marks, a pencil eraser can sometimes work. Always test cleaning products on an inconspicuous area first.

Traction feels poor.

Check the rubber outsole for embedded debris. Ensure the outsole is clean and dry. Wear may eventually reduce tread depth; consider replacement if significantly worn.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to clean the suede and mesh. Avoid harsh chemicals or soaking the shoes.
  • Suede Care: For best results, use a suede protector spray to guard against stains and moisture. Brush suede regularly with a suede brush to maintain its texture.
  • Drying: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with paper to help them retain their shape and allow them to air dry away from direct heat.
