FAQs

Are the New Balance 740 trainers suitable for running marathons?

The 740 trainers are inspired by running shoes and offer comfort for daily wear and light activities. They are not designed for professional marathon running, which requires specialized performance footwear.

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is primarily made of open knit mesh with angular overlays, designed for breathability and style.

How do I determine the correct UK size?

Refer to the product sizing chart or try on the shoes if possible. Sizing can vary slightly between models and brands. The product title specifies UK sizing.

Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?

The open knit mesh upper offers breathability but may not provide significant protection against heavy rain or water. They are best suited for dry conditions.

What is the main difference between the original 740 and this reissue?

This reissue brings back the original design with updated materials and construction techniques, maintaining the classic silhouette and aesthetic while offering modern comfort.

Are these trainers available in other colors?

This guide focuses on the Grey/Beige colorway. Please check the product listing for availability of other colors.

How durable are the New Balance 740 trainers?

They are built for regular daily wear, reflecting their heritage as a durable 'daily runner'. However, like all footwear, longevity depends on usage and care.

Troubleshooting

Slightly tight fit

Wear with thin socks initially, or consider using a shoe stretcher for a day or two. The materials may also stretch slightly with continued wear.

Discoloration on mesh

Gently clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause fading.

Uncomfortable after initial wear

Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. The cushioning may need a short break-in period. If discomfort persists, check for any internal seams or tags that might be causing irritation.

Care Instructions:
