FAQs

What is the primary design inspiration for the New Balance 740?

The 740 is inspired by the design of daily running shoes from the 2000s, offering a blend of retro aesthetics and modern detailing.

Are these trainers suitable for actual running?

While inspired by running shoes, the 740 is primarily designed for casual wear and daily activities. They offer comfort for walking and general use but may not provide the specialized support or technology required for serious athletic training or running.

What materials are used in the New Balance 740?

The trainers feature an open knit mesh upper, often combined with angular overlays. The midsole is segmented for cushioning.

How do I find the right size?

Refer to the UK sizing chart provided by the retailer. The 740 is available in various adult UK sizes. Ensure you measure your foot accurately for the best fit.

Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Hand washing the upper with mild soap and water, and allowing them to air dry, is the best method for cleaning.

What are the main color options for the 740?

The primary color family for this model is Grey, often paired with Beige accents, featuring two-tone mesh for visual interest.

Is this shoe suitable for wide feet?

The description indicates unisex sizing. While the mesh upper offers some flexibility, specific width options are not detailed. It's advisable to check product listings for available width options or consult customer reviews regarding fit for wider feet.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. For initial wear, try loosening the laces and wearing them for short periods to allow them to break in. If still uncomfortable, consider if a different size or width is needed.

Mesh upper is dirty

Gently clean the mesh with a damp cloth and a mild soap solution. Use a soft brush for any embedded dirt, then wipe clean with a fresh damp cloth. Allow to air dry.

Sole feels less cushioned over time

The segmented midsole provides consistent cushioning. If comfort has significantly decreased, it may indicate the shoes have reached the end of their lifespan for heavy use. For general wear, ensure no debris is trapped in the sole's segments.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Classic and distinctive retro design.
  • Breathable mesh upper for comfort.
  • Versatile for daily wear and casual styling.
  • Durable construction suitable for regular use.

Cons

  • Retro aesthetic may not appeal to all.
  • May lack the advanced technology of modern performance trainers.
  • Limited colorways available (primarily Grey/Beige).

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The New Balance 740 Trainers require no specific setup; they are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct size for optimal comfort and fit.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for general adult use and are compatible with a wide range of casual and athletic-inspired clothing. They are suitable for both men and women, as indicated by the unisex sizing.

Care: To maintain the appearance and longevity of your 740 trainers:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the mesh and overlay areas with a slightly damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap and water solution, applying with a soft brush or cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Use a damp cloth to wipe away dirt and scuffs. A toothbrush can be used for crevices.
  3. Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
  4. Laces: Remove laces for separate washing by hand or in a laundry bag.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, when not in use.
