FAQs

What is the main difference between the 57/40 and other New Balance models?

The 57/40 features a bolder, more contemporary take on classic New Balance designs, characterized by exaggerated proportions and a distinctive silhouette that blends retro cues with modern aesthetics.

Are these shoes suitable for athletic performance?

The New Balance 57/40 is primarily designed as a lifestyle or casual shoe. While it offers comfort for walking and everyday activities, it is not intended for high-performance athletic training or sports.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the New Balance sizing chart, paying close attention to the UK sizing. It is recommended to measure your foot and compare it to the chart. Some users find it helpful to read reviews regarding fit for this specific model.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

The leather upper offers some protection, but these shoes are not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to prevent damage to the materials and maintain comfort. Consider a water-repellent spray suitable for leather.

What is the 'Marblehead Sea Salt' colorway?

This refers to a specific color combination for the shoe. 'Marblehead' is a shade of grey, often a muted or dark grey, paired with 'Sea Salt,' which typically indicates an off-white or light cream tone.

How should I care for the leather on these shoes?

Regularly wipe with a damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner and follow up with a leather conditioner to keep the material soft and prevent cracking. Allow to air dry.

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight or loose

Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Consult the New Balance size chart and consider the specific fit recommendations for the 57/40 series. Adjust lacing for a more personalized fit.

Leather creasing excessively

Natural leather will crease with wear. To minimize the appearance, ensure proper fit and consider using shoe trees when not in use to help maintain shape.

Soles showing wear quickly

The 57/40 is a lifestyle shoe. Avoid excessive use for high-impact sports or rough terrain, which can accelerate sole wear. Clean soles regularly to remove abrasive materials.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning the Leather: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust. For tougher stains, a dedicated leather cleaner can be used, followed by a conditioning product to maintain the leather's suppleness.
  2. Suede/Nubuck Care (if applicable): Use a suede brush to remove dirt and restore the nap. Avoid water as much as possible.
  3. Soles: Clean the rubber soles with a brush and mild soap and water to remove debris.
  4. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Stuffing with paper can help maintain their shape during drying.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or box to protect them from dust and damage.
