FAQs
Are the New Balance 740 trainers suitable for running?
No, the New Balance 740 trainers are designed primarily for casual wear and everyday use. They feature an ABZORB midsole for comfort but lack the specific support and performance features required for running or other high-impact sports.
How do I clean the suede parts of the trainers?
Gently brush off loose dirt with a soft brush. For stains, use a suede eraser or a damp cloth with a very mild soap. Allow to air dry completely and consider using a suede protector spray for future maintenance.
What does 'ABZORB' technology mean?
ABZORB is New Balance's proprietary technology that provides shock absorption and cushioning. It works by combining elements of cushioning and compression resistance to help reduce impact forces during wear.
Are these trainers available in other colors?
Yes, the New Balance 740 model has been released in various colorways over time. Availability may vary depending on the retailer and current stock.
Can I wear these trainers with athletic socks?
Yes, you can wear them with athletic socks. However, for the best comfort during casual wear, consider the thickness of the socks to ensure a snug, comfortable fit.
What is the expected lifespan of these trainers with daily use?
With proper care and for typical daily use, the trainers should last a considerable amount of time. Lifespan depends on factors like frequency of wear, activity level, and maintenance.
Is the sizing typical for New Balance trainers?
Generally, New Balance sizing is consistent. However, it's always recommended to consult the brand's specific size chart and consider your foot width for the best fit.
Troubleshooting
Slightly tight fit on arrival.
Wear the trainers for short periods initially to allow the materials to mold to your feet. Consider using thicker socks during the break-in period if needed.
Discoloration on suede areas.
Try using a suede eraser to gently remove marks. If persistent, consult a specialist shoe cleaner. Ensure the shoes are dry before attempting to clean.
Reduced cushioning effect over time.
The ABZORB midsole is designed for durability, but its cushioning may naturally decrease with extensive use. For prolonged comfort, consider rotating footwear or replacing shoes after significant wear.
Traction feels less secure on wet surfaces.
The rubber outsole provides good grip, but like most footwear, traction may be reduced on very wet or slippery surfaces. Exercise caution in such conditions.
