Product Information
Full details
The New Balance 57/40 is a modern evolution of the classic 574 series, designed for adults who prioritize both heritage aesthetics and contemporary comfort in their daily footwear. These trainers feature a robust leather construction and a versatile grey colorway that integrates seamlessly into most wardrobes, making them an ideal choice for everyday casual wear; however, users should be aware that the specific 8 UK size is tailored for a precise fit, and like many leather-based lifestyle shoes, they may require a short break-in period to reach maximum comfort.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While comfortable for walking and everyday activities, the 57/40 is a lifestyle trainer and not designed for high-impact running or intense athletic training.
How do I choose the right size?
The New Balance 57/40 follows standard UK sizing. If you are between sizes, it is recommended to opt for the larger size to allow for sock thickness and natural foot expansion.
Can I put these in the dryer?
No. Never put your trainers in a dryer, as the heat will damage the leather and the integrity of the shoe's construction.
What is the primary material of these trainers?
The exterior features high-quality leather, providing durability and a classic, structured look.
Is the 57/40 water-resistant?
While leather provides some protection against light moisture, these trainers are not waterproof. We recommend applying a leather-safe water repellent spray for extra protection.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight initially
Leather will naturally stretch and mold to your foot over time; wear them for short durations indoors to break them in.
Visible surface dirt on leather
Use a soft brush to remove loose dust and a damp cloth with mild soap to clean the surface, followed by a dry cloth to buff.
Creasing in the toe box
Creasing is a normal characteristic of leather; using shoe trees when not in use can help maintain the shape and minimize deep creases.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your 57/40s last, it is important to follow proper maintenance steps. Since these are constructed with leather, avoid machine washing or submerging them in water, as this can degrade the material and adhesives. If they become dirty, wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth and use a leather-specific cleaner for persistent stains. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to prevent the leather from cracking. Given their neutral grey aesthetic, they pair excellently with denim, chinos, or technical track pants.
