FAQs

What age group are these New Balance 740 trainers designed for?

These specific trainers are designed for juniors, with this variant being a UK Size 5.

Can these trainers be used for sports like running or basketball?

While offering excellent comfort and traction, the New Balance 740 is primarily designed as a casual trainer for everyday wear and light activities, rather than specialized sports performance.

How do I clean the leather material on these trainers?

For the leather sections, use a soft, damp cloth with a small amount of mild leather cleaner. Gently wipe the affected area, then buff dry with a clean cloth. Avoid soaking the leather.

What is ABZORB cushioning?

ABZORB is a New Balance proprietary foam cushioning technology that provides superior shock absorption, helping to protect feet from impact and deliver lasting comfort.

Are these trainers true to size for juniors?

New Balance trainers generally run true to size. We recommend measuring the junior's foot and comparing it to the New Balance sizing chart for the most accurate fit. This specific pair is a UK Size 5.

What are the primary materials used in the upper of these trainers?

These New Balance 740 trainers feature a mixed-material upper, combining breathable textile (mesh) with synthetic elements and premium leather overlays, as indicated by the 'Leather' material attribute, to offer both style and durability.

Troubleshooting

Trainers feel too tight or loose.

Adjust the lacing system. Ensure laces are evenly tightened from toe to ankle. Try different sock thicknesses to find the optimal comfort.

Squeaking sound when walking.

Sometimes, new soles can squeak. This often resolves with wear. If persistent, check if insoles are properly seated or try applying a small amount of baby powder under the insole.

Scuffs or dirt on the leather overlays.

Wipe immediately with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a small amount of specialized leather cleaner, then buff gently with a clean, dry cloth.

Foot discomfort after prolonged wear.

Ensure the trainers are the correct size. The ABZORB cushioning should provide comfort, but consider if an alternative insole might be needed if discomfort persists due to foot arch issues. Ensure socks are appropriate.

Care

Proper care helps maintain the appearance and longevity of your New Balance 740 trainers:

  • Cleaning the Leather: For leather sections, gently wipe with a damp cloth and a mild leather cleaner. Follow with a dry cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  • Cleaning the Textile/Synthetic: For textile and synthetic areas, use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and water.
  • Drying: Always air dry your trainers at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight, to prevent material damage.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures or moisture.
  • Odour Control: Use shoe deodorizers or allow trainers to air out after wear to minimize odors.
  • Avoid Machine Washing: Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage the materials and construction.
