Troubleshooting
Leather surface shows scuff marks
Use a specialized leather eraser or a damp soft cloth to buff out superficial scuffs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 57/40 sneakers remain in top condition, proper care is essential. Since the upper is crafted from leather, avoid submerging them in water or using harsh chemicals. Use a soft, dry brush to remove loose dirt after each wear. For deeper cleaning, utilize a leather-specific cleaner applied to a soft cloth, wiping gently in circular motions. Store the sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather cracking or fading. Ensure you check your specific UK size measurement as sizing may vary slightly by individual foot shape.
