FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

The New Balance 740 Trainers are designed primarily for lifestyle and casual wear. While they offer comfort and some support, they are not engineered for high-impact running activities and may not provide adequate cushioning or stability for such purposes.

How do I clean the suede parts of the trainers?

For suede, use a dry suede brush to remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner, applying it sparingly with a clean cloth. Always allow the suede to air dry naturally away from heat.

What is the ABZORB technology?

ABZORB is a specialized cushioning technology developed by New Balance. It is designed to absorb impact and provide a responsive feel, reducing stress on the feet and joints.

Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?

The suede material is not inherently waterproof and can be damaged by excessive moisture. While the mesh offers some breathability, it is best to avoid wearing these trainers in heavy rain or wet conditions to maintain their condition.

What type of socks are best to wear with these trainers?

For optimal comfort and breathability, consider wearing athletic or casual socks made from moisture-wicking materials like cotton blends or performance synthetics.

How do I know if I have the right size?

Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. Your heel should feel secure without slipping excessively. Try them on at the end of the day when feet are typically larger.

Do these trainers come in other colors?

The New Balance 740 series is available in various colorways. While this guide focuses on the Blue Bird/Angora model, other color options might be available through different product listings.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or stained.

Use a suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, apply a specialized suede cleaner sparingly with a clean cloth and allow to dry. For stubborn stains, professional cleaning might be necessary.

Shoes feel too tight.

Ensure you have the correct size. If slightly tight, wearing them with thicker socks for a short period might help stretch them. If significantly tight, consider exchanging for a larger size if possible.

Reduced cushioning effect over time.

While ABZORB is durable, cushioning can naturally decrease with extensive use. Consider rotating with other footwear for daily use to prolong the life of the cushioning.

Tread on the outsole is worn.

Worn tread can reduce grip. If the outsole is significantly worn, it may be time to consider replacing the shoes for safety and performance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The New Balance 740 Trainers require no specific setup; they are ready to wear out of the box.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed as lifestyle shoes and are compatible with most casual attire. They are not intended for specialized athletic performance.

Care:

  1. Cleaning Suede: Use a soft brush or a dedicated suede cleaner to remove dry dirt. For stains, a slightly damp cloth can be used, but avoid saturating the material. Allow to air dry naturally, away from direct heat.
  2. Cleaning Mesh: A damp cloth with mild soap can be used for the mesh areas. Gently scrub and wipe clean.
  3. Outsole: Wipe the rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or original box to maintain shape and protect from dust.
