FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

While the 740 V2 is based on a running silhouette from the 2000s, it is categorized as a trainer for daily casual wear rather than specialized performance athletic gear.

How do I determine the right size?

These shoes follow a standard UK sizing scale and a regular width; we recommend choosing your usual size for a standard fit.

Are the insoles removable?

Yes, the insoles are generally removable if you need to swap them for your own inserts, though the shoe is designed to provide optimal comfort with the original cushioning.

How should I clean the white leather?

Avoid submerging the shoes in water. Use a professional-grade leather cleaner and a soft cloth, then allow them to air dry away from heat sources.

Are these shoes waterproof?

The leather upper provides some natural resistance to light moisture, but they are not fully waterproof.

Troubleshooting

Leather showing scuffs or marks

Use a specialized leather conditioner or a clean, slightly damp cloth to buff out surface-level marks.

Shoes feeling too tight

Adjust the lacing tension at the midfoot area or ensure you are wearing socks of the appropriate thickness for the standard fit.

Outsole losing traction

Check the tread for debris or small stones lodged in the grooves and clean with a stiff brush.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Classic, timeless retro style
  • Excellent shock absorption via Abzorb technology
  • High-quality, durable leather material
  • Versatile colorway for streetwear
  • Reliable traction for daily commuting

Cons

  • Standard width may not fit wide feet
  • Leather requires specific care compared to synthetic materials
  • Not intended for high-performance long-distance running

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your 740 V2 trainers maintain their appearance and structure, follow these guidelines:

  1. Breaking In: These shoes offer a standard fit; wear them for shorter durations initially to allow the leather to conform to your foot shape.
  2. Cleaning: Since the upper is made of leather, use a soft, dry brush to remove loose dirt. For deeper stains, use a damp cloth with a mild leather cleaner, then wipe dry immediately.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather cracking or color fading. Avoid storing them in damp environments to maintain structural integrity.
  4. Lacing: Tighten the laces securely but comfortably. Do not overtighten, as this may place unnecessary tension on the leather eyelet reinforcements.
