Product Information

Full details

The New Balance 740 Sneaker is designed for adults seeking a blend of retro style and modern comfort for everyday wear. Its key benefit is the combination of breathable mesh uppers and a cushioned midsole for all-day wearability, with a caveat that the synthetic overlays might offer a less flexible feel compared to all-mesh designs. This unisex trainer, available in black with grey accents, revives a beloved 00's archive design with updated aesthetics, featuring a secure lace-up closure and reflective details.

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

The New Balance 740 Sneaker is designed primarily for casual wear and everyday comfort. They are not recommended for high-impact activities like running, which require specialized athletic footwear for proper support and cushioning.

How do I clean the mesh upper?

Gently clean the mesh upper using a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and cool water. Avoid soaking the shoes or using harsh detergents. Allow them to air dry naturally.

What does ABZORB in the midsole mean?

ABZORB is a proprietary New Balance technology that provides excellent shock absorption and cushioning, helping to reduce the impact on your feet and joints during wear.

Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Machine washing can damage the materials, adhesives, and cushioning components. Hand cleaning is the preferred method.

Are the reflective accents durable?

The reflective accents are designed to enhance visibility in low light. While generally durable for regular wear, prolonged exposure to harsh abrasion or cleaning methods could potentially reduce their reflectivity over time.

What is the material of the shoe?

The shoe features breathable mesh knit uppers with synthetic overlays, a cushioned ABZORB midsole, and a rubber outsole.

Is this shoe available in other colors?

The product description indicates this specific model is in the black color family with grey secondary colors. You may want to check for other variants that might offer different color options.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Try adjusting the lacing system to alleviate pressure points. Wear with appropriate socks. If discomfort persists after a break-in period, they may not be the right fit.

Slight scuffing on synthetic overlays

For minor scuffs on synthetic overlays, try using a melamine foam eraser or a soft cloth with a mild cleaning solution. Test on an inconspicuous area first.

Reduced traction on slippery surfaces

The rubber outsole provides general traction. On very wet or slick surfaces, exercise caution. Ensure the outsole is clean, as dirt can also reduce grip.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning Uppers: For the mesh and synthetic uppers, use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and water to gently remove dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Midsole and Outsole: Clean the midsole and rubber outsole with a damp cloth. Ensure any mud or debris is removed.
  3. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use to maintain their shape and material integrity. Consider using shoe trees if storing for extended periods.
