FAQs

Are these New Balance 740 Trainers suitable for running?

While comfortable for light walking and everyday activities, the New Balance 740 is primarily a lifestyle trainer and is not specifically designed for high-performance running or intense athletic training.

How do I choose the correct size?

New Balance typically runs true to size. We recommend checking the official New Balance sizing chart for precise measurements and considering trying them on if possible to ensure the best fit for your foot.

What materials are used in the upper part of the trainer?

The upper features a breathable mesh combined with angular overlays, designed for both comfort and a distinct aesthetic.

Can I machine wash my New Balance 740 Trainers?

No, machine washing is not recommended. It can damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure of the trainers. Please follow the gentle cleaning instructions provided in the care section.

What type of activities are these trainers best suited for?

These trainers are best suited for casual wear, daily activities, urban exploration, and light walks where comfort, reliability, and style are desired.

Troubleshooting

Trainers feel too tight or loose.

Ensure you have the correct size. New Balance offers various sizes, so refer to their official sizing guide. Adjust lacing for a more customized fit; try different lacing patterns if needed.

Foot odor develops after wear.

Allow trainers to air out after each wear, removing insoles if possible. Use foot powder or odor-absorbing inserts. Wash laces regularly to prevent odor buildup.

Stains on the mesh or overlays.

Address stains promptly with a damp cloth and mild soap or a dedicated shoe cleaner. Test any cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid harsh chemicals.

Trainers feel less supportive over time.

Consider replacing the insoles with new ones to refresh cushioning and support. If the outer sole or upper material shows significant wear, it might be time to replace the trainers.

Care

To maintain the appearance and longevity of your New Balance 740 trainers, follow these care instructions:

  • Cleaning: Gently clean the mesh upper and angular overlays with a soft brush or a damp cloth. For tougher spots, use a mild shoe cleaner specifically designed for athletic footwear. Avoid scrubbing aggressively.
  • Drying: Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can damage materials.
  • Avoid: Do not machine wash or machine dry your trainers, as this can severely damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe.
  • Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place when not in use. Stuffing them with crumpled paper can help maintain their shape.
