FAQs
Are these trainers waterproof?
While the leather upper offers some resistance to light moisture, they are not fully waterproof and should not be submerged.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are generally removable if you need to insert your own custom orthotics.
Are the New Balance 740s true to size?
They generally fit true to size. If you plan to wear thick socks, you may consider a half-size up.
What is the best way to clean the leather?
Use a specialized leather cleaner and a soft-bristled brush. Avoid soaking the leather in water.
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, these are designed as lifestyle trainers. They lack the technical support and structural design required for distance or professional running.
Do these shoes come in different widths?
Availability varies by model; check the specific product page for width specifications if applicable.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming untied frequently
Ensure you are using a double knot or check if the laces have become slick due to residue.
Creasing of the leather upper
Use shoe trees when not in use to help the shoe maintain its shape and minimize deep creases.
Traction feels reduced in wet conditions
Clean the bottom tread with a stiff brush to remove compacted debris or dirt build-up.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your trainers last, follow these maintenance tips:
- Breaking In: Wear them for short durations indoors for the first few days to allow the leather to naturally conform to your foot.
- Cleaning: Use a dry soft brush to remove loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, apply a dedicated leather cleaner sparingly with a cloth.
- Moisture Protection: If the leather becomes wet, allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent cracking.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the color and material integrity.
