FAQs
Are these New Balance 740 trainers suitable for serious running?
The New Balance 740 is designed as a 'daily runner,' meaning it's well-suited for light to moderate runs, jogging, and everyday casual wear where comfort and style are key. For high-mileage or specialized running (e.g., trail, speed training), dedicated performance running shoes might be more appropriate.
How do I best clean the white textile and synthetic upper?
To clean, gently wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap (like dish soap). Avoid scrubbing aggressively or using harsh chemicals, which can damage the material. For tough stains, a soft brush and a dedicated shoe cleaner can be used. Always air dry away from direct heat.
What is ABZORB cushioning?
ABZORB is a proprietary New Balance foam blend that offers superior cushioning and compression resistance. It helps absorb impact forces, providing a softer landing and greater comfort with each step, reducing fatigue during extended wear.
Are these shoes true to size?
Generally, New Balance shoes are considered true to size. We recommend trying them on to ensure the best fit, especially if you are between sizes or have specific foot width requirements. This particular model is UK 5.5.
Can I wear these trainers in rainy weather?
The textile and synthetic upper offers some resistance to light splashes, but these trainers are not waterproof. For heavy rain or very wet conditions, we recommend choosing shoes specifically designed with water-resistant or waterproof membranes to keep your feet dry.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper of the New Balance 740 Trainers is made from a combination of open knit textile mesh and synthetic overlays. This blend provides breathability, support, and a distinctive aesthetic.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
Adjust the lacing tension. If the issue persists, verify you have the correct size. New Balance offers various widths; consult a sizing guide if uncertainty remains.
Squeaking sound while walking.
Often caused by insoles rubbing against the shoe's interior. Remove the insole, sprinkle a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch inside, then reinsert. Alternatively, ensure the insoles are properly seated.
White upper becomes discolored or stained easily.
Regularly clean the shoes after use, especially if worn in dirty conditions. For persistent stains, use a dedicated shoe cleaner or a mixture of mild soap and water with a soft brush. Avoid letting stains set in.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces.
The rubber outsole provides good general grip, but no shoe is entirely slip-proof on all wet surfaces. Exercise caution on slippery areas. Check the outsole for excessive wear; significant wear can reduce traction.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Iconic Style: Recognizable New Balance design for a fashionable look.
- Excellent Cushioning: ABZORB midsole provides superior comfort for all-day wear and light athletic activities.
- Reliable Grip: Rubber outsole ensures good traction on diverse surfaces.
- Breathable Upper: Open knit mesh promotes air circulation, reducing discomfort.
- Versatile Use: Ideal for both casual outings and daily running.
Cons
- White Color Maintenance: The white textile and synthetic material are prone to showing dirt and may require frequent cleaning.
- Material Specificity: Textile and synthetic upper might not offer the same level of water resistance or ruggedness as other materials for extreme conditions.
- Info needed: Specific use cases (e.g., trail running vs. road running) are not detailed, so versatility might be limited for some specialized activities.
Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup
- Lacing: Unlace the trainers fully before putting them on to ensure proper entry.
- Foot Placement: Slide your foot into the shoe, ensuring your heel sits snugly against the back.
- Lacing Adjustment: Begin lacing from the bottom eyelets, pulling gently to remove slack. Adjust tension evenly across the foot to achieve a secure yet comfortable fit. Avoid overtightening.
- Fit Check: Stand up and walk a few steps. Ensure there's about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. The sides of your feet should feel snug but not compressed.
Compatibility
- Gender: These trainers feature a unisex design.
- Activity: Suitable for daily casual wear, walking, and light to moderate running activities.
- Surfaces: Optimized for urban environments, road surfaces, and gym floors. Not recommended for rugged trail running or extreme conditions.
Care
- Cleaning: Due to the white textile and synthetic upper, regular cleaning is recommended. Gently wipe down the mesh and synthetic overlays with a soft, damp cloth and a mild soap solution. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes which can damage the material.
- Spot Cleaning: For stubborn spots, use a specialized shoe cleaner or a gentle stain remover designed for textiles and synthetics. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources, as these can cause material degradation or discoloration.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees or stuffing with paper to help maintain their shape.
- Odour Control: If desired, use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the trainers overnight to absorb moisture and odors.
