FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

The New Balance 5740 trainers are designed primarily for lifestyle and casual wear. While they offer comfort for walking, they are not specifically engineered for high-impact activities like running and may lack the necessary support and cushioning for such purposes.

How do I determine the correct UK size?

Refer to the sizing chart provided by New Balance or the retailer. Generally, UK sizing for men's shoes is standard, but it's always recommended to measure your foot length and compare it to the brand's specific measurements if unsure.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

While the leather offers some protection, these trainers are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the materials and ensure comfort. Consider using a water-repellent spray specifically designed for leather footwear.

What is the main difference between the 574 and the 5740 models?

The 5740 is a modern interpretation of the classic 574. It features a slimmer silhouette, exaggerated proportions, and a midsole that combines the classic 574 design with updated 90s tech aesthetics, whereas the 574 has a more traditional and less pronounced profile.

How should I store my 5740 trainers when not in use?

Store your trainers in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees or stuffing them with acid-free paper can help maintain their shape and absorb any residual moisture.

What is the 'Moonbeam Nightwatch Green' colorway?

This colorway features a base of 'Moonbeam' (a cream or off-white shade) accented with 'Nightwatch Green' details. This combination provides a subtle yet distinctive aesthetic.

Troubleshooting

Uneven wear on the sole

Ensure proper lacing to distribute pressure evenly. Rotate wear with other shoes if possible. Check for any objects lodged in the outsole.

Discoloration of materials

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Clean immediately if exposed to staining substances. Follow specific care instructions for leather and suede components.

Squeaking sound when walking

This can sometimes occur due to friction between parts of the shoe or moisture. Try inserting a powder or talc inside the shoe or checking if the insole is loose.

Reduced cushioning over time

The midsole cushioning naturally compresses with use. While it cannot be restored, ensuring the shoes are not subjected to excessive force or weight can prolong their performance.

Pros and Cons

  • Stylish, modern design with retro influences
  • Comfortable for all-day wear due to hybrid midsole

  • Slim profile may not be ideal for wider feet
  • Exaggerated features might be too bold for minimalist tastes
  • Specific care required for leather materials

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: As footwear, the New Balance 5740 trainers require no setup. Simply lace them up and wear them.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for adult wear and are compatible with a wide range of casual clothing styles.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning Leather: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For tougher stains on leather, a specialized leather cleaner can be used, followed by a conditioner to maintain suppleness.
  2. Suede/Nubuck (if applicable): Use a suede brush to remove dry dirt and restore the nap. Avoid water on these materials.
  3. Midsole and Outsole: Clean with mild soap and water using a soft brush or cloth.
  4. Laces: Remove laces and hand wash them with detergent and water, or place them in a mesh bag and machine wash on a delicate cycle.
  5. Drying: Allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage the materials. Stuffing with paper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape during drying.
  6. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and material degradation.
