New Balance 57/40 - Trainers - Grey - 8.5 UK

While the 57/40 provides excellent comfort for walking, it is classified as a lifestyle sneaker and is not intended for long-distance running or high-impact athletic training.

Use a soft, dry cloth for light cleaning and a dedicated leather cleaner on a damp cloth for deeper stains. Avoid submerging the shoes in water.

Generally, New Balance trainers follow standard sizing, but because they feature a leather construction, they may feel slightly snug initially before softening.

Leather is durable but not waterproof. It is recommended to use a protective leather spray to help repel water if you expect to encounter light rain.

The 57/40 is a modern evolution of the 574, featuring more exaggerated design lines and updated cushioning technology while keeping the DNA of the original.

Use a matching leather conditioner or a soft brush to gently buff the scuffed area to restore the appearance.

Loosen the laces significantly from the eyelets down to the midfoot to allow the leather to flex before inserting your foot.

Check if the factory insole has compressed; you can replace it with a third-party arch-support insole if needed for additional comfort.
