Product Information
Full details
The New Balance 740 trainers are designed for adults seeking a comfortable and stylish daily runner with a nod to 2000s aesthetics. Their key benefit lies in combining retro running-inspired design with modern comfort and durability, making them suitable for everyday wear. A potential caveat is that the open-knit mesh upper, while breathable, may offer less protection in wet conditions. These trainers feature an open knit mesh upper, segmented midsole, and a streamlined silhouette, with unique two-tone color mesh and angular overlays for a distinctive look.

FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The New Balance 740 trainers are inspired by running shoes and offer comfort for daily wear, but they are not designed for high-impact performance running. For dedicated running, consider specialized running footwear.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is primarily constructed from an open-knit mesh, with some angular overlays for structure and style. Some variants may include nylon or leather components.
How do I clean mud or dirt from the mesh?
Gently use a soft brush or a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap to clean the mesh. Rinse with a clean damp cloth and allow to air dry completely.
What is the main advantage of the segmented midsole?
The segmented midsole is designed to provide targeted cushioning and support, contributing to a comfortable and responsive feel during everyday activities.
Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?
The open-knit mesh upper offers breathability but is not waterproof. These trainers are best suited for dry conditions. For wet weather, consider shoes with water-resistant materials.
What does 'No Sew' mean in some product titles?
'No Sew' construction typically refers to a method where upper components are bonded or fused together rather than stitched, often resulting in a cleaner look and potentially reduced weight or irritation points.
What is the intended age group for these trainers?
The New Balance 740 trainers are designed for adults.
Troubleshooting
Sizing feels incorrect
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. If still uncomfortable, check if a break-in period is needed or consider trying a different size if available.
Mesh upper appears dirty
Use a soft brush and mild soap with water to gently clean the mesh. Wipe with a damp cloth and allow to air dry.
Reduced cushioning over time
The midsole's cushioning may naturally decrease with extensive use. For prolonged comfort, consider rotating footwear or replacing shoes after significant wear.
Color transfer from shoe to socks
This can sometimes occur with new shoes, especially darker colors. Washing the inside of the shoe lightly or wearing darker socks may help. If persistent, contact customer support.
