Full details
Designed for adults seeking a blend of urban style and all-day comfort, the New Balance 740 trainers offer a timeless aesthetic with modern cushioning. Their primary benefit lies in the ABZORB midsole, which effectively absorbs shock, making them ideal for busy days. A potential caveat is that while featuring synthetic and mesh uppers, they include suede overlays which may require specific care to maintain their appearance.

Laces becoming worn or frayed
Replace the laces with a new pair of similar length and material. New Balance offers replacement laces, or you can find suitable alternatives at most shoe retailers.
