FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

While inspired by running shoes, the New Balance 740 Trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and daily activities. They offer comfort and support for walking but are not intended for high-impact or performance running.

How do I clean the suede parts?

Use a specialized suede brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, a suede eraser is recommended. For persistent marks, a slightly damp cloth can be used, but avoid saturating the suede. Always let them air dry.

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is a combination of open knit mesh and suede, offering breathability and durability.

Are these trainers unisex?

Yes, the New Balance 740 Trainers are designed as a unisex model, suitable for all genders.

What is the main color of these trainers?

The main color family is Brown, with secondary Red accents in the mesh and detailing.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

No, machine washing is not recommended. Hand cleaning using specific methods for suede and mesh is advised to maintain the shoe's integrity and appearance.

What does 'segmented midsole' mean for comfort?

A segmented midsole is designed with distinct sections to provide targeted cushioning and flexibility. This can enhance comfort by allowing the shoe to adapt more naturally to the foot's movement during wear.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or stained

Gently brush with a suede brush. For tougher stains, use a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth, then allow to air dry. Avoid excessive moisture.

Mesh feels stiff or loses shape

Ensure proper drying after cleaning; do not wring or machine dry. Avoid over-tightening laces.

General discomfort during wear

Ensure you have the correct size. If the issue persists after a break-in period, consider using insoles for additional support or cushioning.
