Product Information
Full details
The New Balance 740 trainers are designed for adults seeking a blend of retro style and modern comfort for everyday wear. Their key benefit lies in the ABZORB cushioning, providing a responsive and impact-softening ride. A potential caveat is that while versatile, they are primarily styled for casual and light athletic use, not high-performance training.

FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?
The New Balance 740 trainers are designed for casual wear and light athletic activities, featuring ABZORB cushioning for comfort. For marathon running, specialized running shoes with advanced support and cushioning systems are recommended.
How do I determine my correct UK shoe size?
Refer to the product's size chart or measure your foot length from heel to toe. Compare this measurement to the provided UK sizing guide. It's often recommended to try them on if possible, as fit can vary.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, as it can damage the materials, especially the suede overlays and the ABZORB midsole. Hand washing with mild soap and water is the preferred method for cleaning.
What is the main advantage of the ABZORB cushioning?
ABZORB cushioning is designed to absorb shock, providing a responsive feel and reducing impact on your feet and joints. This makes the trainers comfortable for extended wear.
How should I store these trainers when not in use?
Store the trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using a shoe tree can help maintain their shape. Avoid storing them in damp conditions, which can affect the materials.
Are these trainers waterproof?
These trainers are not designed to be waterproof. The mesh and suede materials offer breathability but will not provide protection against heavy rain or water immersion.
Troubleshooting
Torn or damaged mesh material
Inspect the area for small tears. For minor damage, consider professional shoe repair. Avoid snagging the mesh on rough surfaces.
Suede losing its texture or looking dirty
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently restore the nap. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner according to product instructions.
Laces fraying or breaking
Replace worn laces with a new pair of suitable length and material. Clean existing laces before re-lacing.
Reduced cushioning over time
While the ABZORB midsole is durable, cushioning can naturally decrease with extensive use. Consider replacing the shoes if comfort significantly diminishes.
