Product Information
Full details
The New Balance 740 trainers are designed for adult, unisex wear, offering a blend of archival style and modern updates perfect for everyday training. Their key benefit lies in superior cushioning and durability, though some users might find the synthetic overlays less flexible than pure mesh. These sneakers feature breathable mesh uppers, cushioned midsoles with ABZORB technology, and a durable rubber outsole for long-lasting wear, updated with angled synthetic overlays and reflective accents.

FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?
The New Balance 740 trainers are designed for everyday training and casual wear. For marathon running, specialized running shoes with advanced support and cushioning features are recommended.
How do I determine my correct size?
Refer to the size chart provided by New Balance, which typically includes measurements in both UK and international sizing. Ensure your foot measurement aligns with the recommended size.
Can these trainers be worn in wet conditions?
While the rubber outsole provides some traction, the mesh upper is not waterproof. They are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain may affect comfort and material.
What is the benefit of the reflective accents?
The reflective accents are designed to catch and reflect light, increasing your visibility to others in low-light conditions, such as early morning or evening hours.
How should I clean the synthetic overlays?
Gently wipe the synthetic overlays with a damp cloth. A small amount of mild soap can be used if necessary, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.
What does ABZORB mean in the midsole?
ABZORB is New Balance's proprietary technology that provides a resilient cushioning and shock-absorbing compound, designed to reduce impact forces.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and wear them for short periods to allow them to break in. If still uncomfortable, consider if they are the correct size.
Reduced cushioning over time
The ABZORB midsole is designed for durability, but cushioning may naturally decrease with extensive use. Ensure you are not exceeding the intended use for training shoes.
Mesh material showing wear
Avoid abrasive activities or materials. Clean gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. Ensure they are not exposed to excessive friction.
