Product Information
Full details
The New Balance 740 Trainers are designed for adults seeking a blend of retro style and modern comfort. Their key benefit lies in the ABZORB cushioning, offering an ultra-responsive and impact-softening ride for everyday wear. A potential consideration is that while the materials offer breathability, prolonged intense activity might require more specialized footwear.

FAQs
What is ABZORB cushioning?
ABZORB is a cushioning technology developed by New Balance that provides a responsive feel and absorbs impact, helping to reduce stress on your feet and joints.
Are these trainers suitable for running?
While they offer good cushioning for everyday comfort and light activity, they are primarily designed as lifestyle trainers inspired by retro running styles, not for high-performance athletic running.
What materials are the New Balance 740 trainers made from?
The upper typically combines open knit mesh with synthetic overlays, and the midsole features ABZORB cushioning. The outsole is made of rubber.
How do I find the right size?
We recommend checking the New Balance size guide for accurate measurements. If possible, try them on in-store to ensure a comfortable fit, paying attention to length and width.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended. It can damage the materials, adhesives, and cushioning technology. Hand wash according to the care instructions provided.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, the trainers are not waterproof due to the breathable mesh construction. They offer some resistance to light moisture but are not suitable for wet conditions.
What is the intended use for these trainers?
These trainers are ideal for casual wear, everyday comfort, walking, and light training activities. Their retro design also makes them a stylish fashion choice.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. If still tight, the laces can be adjusted, or consider if a larger size is needed based on fit.
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try walking on different surfaces. If persistent, check for any debris trapped in the sole or between components.
Minor discoloration on upper
Use a dedicated sneaker cleaner or a damp cloth with mild soap for gentle spot cleaning. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
Reduced cushioning effect over time
The ABZORB cushioning is designed for durability, but wear and tear can affect its responsiveness. Regular cleaning and avoiding extreme conditions can help prolong its effectiveness.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers require no setup out of the box; they are ready to wear immediately.
Compatibility: Suitable for general adult use. They are designed for casual wear and light training activities.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Upper: For mesh and synthetic parts, use a soft brush or cloth with a small amount of mild soap and water to gently remove dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Wipe with a damp cloth. Stubborn marks can be tackled with a slightly firmer scrub using a soft brush and mild cleaning solution.
- Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources (like radiators or dryers) as this can damage the materials.
- Laces: Remove laces for separate washing if heavily soiled.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
