FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The New Balance 740 trainers are inspired by running shoe designs and offer good cushioning for daily comfort, but they are best suited for casual wear and walking rather than high-performance running.
How do I know if I've chosen the right size?
Refer to the New Balance size chart for accurate measurements. It is recommended to try them on for fit, paying attention to length and width. The UK 6 size mentioned is a specific offering.
What does 'No Sew' mean in the product description?
'No Sew' refers to the construction method where synthetic panels are bonded or fused to the upper material rather than being stitched, which contributes to a lighter weight and a sleeker look.
What is ABZORB technology?
ABZORB is a New Balance technology that provides a unique combination of cushioning and compression resistance, designed to absorb shock and offer lasting comfort.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and construction of the trainers. Hand washing or spot cleaning is the preferred method.
What is the main difference between this 'No Sew' version and the original 740?
The 'No Sew' version uses bonded synthetic panels on the upper for a lighter, streamlined feel, whereas the original may have incorporated more traditional stitched elements.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, the mesh upper is designed for breathability and is not waterproof. They are suitable for dry conditions.
Troubleshooting
Slightly tight fit on arrival
Wear the shoes around the house for short periods to allow them to break in and mold to your feet. If still uncomfortable, consider trying a different size.
Discomfort after extended wear
Ensure you have the correct size and fit. The ABZORB cushioning provides support, but prolonged high-impact activity may exceed the intended use.
Mesh upper appears dirty
Gently clean with a soft brush and a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a very mild soap solution and rinse with a clean damp cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers require no setup. Simply try them on for fit and comfort.
Compatibility: Suitable for unisex adult wear. Available in various UK sizes. While designed for general wear, they are not specialized for specific sports performance.
Care:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to gently wipe away dirt from the mesh and synthetic panels. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Cleaning the Midsole/Outsole: Wipe clean with a damp cloth. For tougher marks on the midsole, a mild soap solution can be used carefully.
- Drying: Allow trainers to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use to maintain their shape and material integrity.
