FAQs

Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?

No, machine washing can damage the leather upper and compromise the shoe's structure. Always use hand-cleaning methods.

Are these suitable for intense athletic training?

The 57/40 is primarily a lifestyle and casual sneaker; while comfortable for daily walking, it is not engineered for high-intensity gym use or long-distance running.

What does the Mindful Grey colorway look like?

It is a versatile, neutral grey that offers a sophisticated look, making it easy to match with denim, chinos, or athletic wear.

How do I ensure I have the right size?

New Balance sizing is generally true to fit for adults, but we recommend checking your measurements against the specific UK sizing provided for this model.

Is the leather material durable?

Yes, the premium leather used in the 57/40 series is selected for its longevity and ability to withstand the rigors of daily wear.

Troubleshooting

Visible dirt on leather surface

Use a soft, slightly damp microfiber cloth to gently buff away surface debris; allow to air dry naturally away from sunlight.

Creasing in the toe box

This is a natural characteristic of leather footwear. Use a shoe tree when not in use to help the shoe maintain its original shape.

Minor scuff marks

Apply a small amount of leather conditioner or a neutral shoe cream compatible with grey leather to buff out minor imperfections.

Pros and Cons

  • Durable leather construction

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because these are leather shoes, avoid machine washing to prevent material damage. To keep your New Balance 57/40 in optimal condition, wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt and use a specialized leather cleaner periodically. Ensure the sneakers are stored in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources. When sizing, consider that these shoes are built for an adult fit; if you are between sizes or prefer a thicker sock, selecting a half-size up is generally recommended for the most comfortable experience.
