FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the New Balance 740 is designed for lifestyle and casual use rather than dedicated long-distance running.
What is the primary benefit of the ABZORB technology?
ABZORB technology is a blend of foam cushioning and compression resistance that absorbs shock from impacts to provide a more comfortable stride.
How do I ensure I choose the right size?
The New Balance 740 uses standard UK adult sizing. It is recommended to choose your usual size, keeping in mind the additional padding in the collar may offer a snugger feel than thinner models.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash your trainers, as the heat and agitation can damage the structural integrity and cushioning materials.
Are these sneakers gender-specific?
Yes, this specific model is designed according to female-specific fit attributes.
Troubleshooting
Feeling too tight around the ankle
Loosen the laces significantly before inserting your foot to allow the padded cuff to expand, then adjust to your preferred tension.
Outsole losing traction
Check the tread for debris or small stones stuck in the grooves; clean with a soft brush to restore the rubber's natural grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 740 trainers maintain their appearance and structure, follow these guidelines:
- Sizing: These shoes are sized in UK standards. Ensure a snug but not tight fit, particularly around the padded collar.
- Cleaning: Wipe down the exterior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid submerging the shoes in water, as this can degrade the foam and adhesive materials.
- Maintenance: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the material.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place and ensure they are untied before taking them off to preserve the shape of the padded heel cuff.
