FAQs

Are New Balance 740 trainers unisex?

Yes, the New Balance 740 is designed as a unisex trainer suitable for all genders.

Can I use these for long-distance running?

While inspired by 2000s running shoes, the 740 is optimized for lifestyle and everyday wear rather than professional long-distance running.

How do I choose between leather and polyester versions?

Leather versions offer more structure and durability, whereas the polyester mesh versions provide maximum breathability and a lighter feel on the foot.

Does the blue colour fade easily?

Like most footwear, avoiding prolonged exposure to direct sunlight will help preserve the color vibrancy of the blue panels.

Are these true to size?

The New Balance 740 generally fits true to standard UK sizing, but if you prefer extra room for thicker socks, consider a half-size up.

Troubleshooting

Creasing on the upper material

Use a shoe tree when not in use to help the material retain its shape and minimize deep-set creases.

Dirt stuck in mesh pores

Use compressed air or a dry toothbrush to dislodge debris before applying any liquid cleaning agents.

Loss of cushioning feel

This may indicate the Abzorb unit has reached its lifespan. Ensure you are not over-compressing the midsole by keeping the shoes away from extreme high-temperature environments.

Pros and Cons

  • Iconic Y2K retro running aesthetic
  • High-quality Abzorb cushioning for all-day comfort
  • Breathable design suitable for warm weather

  • Light-colored accents may require frequent cleaning

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your New Balance 740 trainers remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:

  1. Sizing: These are standard UK adult sizes; check the specific product label as some variants are constructed from leather while others use performance polyester.
  2. Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dust. For mesh panels, use a mild detergent mixed with water and a soft cloth, dabbing gently rather than scrubbing.
  3. Drying: Air dry only. Keep away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can damage the midsole adhesives and cause the upper material to shrink or deform.
  4. Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the vibrant blue tones from fading over time.
