FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The New Balance 57/40 trainers are designed for casual wear and everyday comfort. While they offer good cushioning, they are not specifically engineered for intense athletic activities like running and may lack the specialized support required.
How do I know if I have the right size?
It is recommended to consult the New Balance size guide available online. Measure your foot length and compare it with the provided chart. Trying them on in-store, if possible, is also the best way to ensure a proper fit.
Can I put these trainers in a washing machine?
No, it is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, especially due to the leather material. Machine washing can damage the leather, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe.
What is the main difference between the 57/40 and other New Balance models?
The 57/40 series is known for its distinctive design that blends 80s and 90s aesthetics with modern updates. It often features a slightly bolder silhouette and unique layering compared to more classic New Balance models.
How often should I condition the leather?
The frequency of conditioning depends on usage and climate. For regular wear, conditioning every 3-6 months is generally sufficient to keep the leather healthy and protected.
Do these trainers come in other colours?
While this guide focuses on the Grey and White colourway, the New Balance 57/40 series is often available in a variety of other colour options depending on the season and retailer.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in leather
Minor creasing is natural with leather. To minimize, ensure proper fit and use shoe trees when not in use. Avoid over-tightening laces.
Discoloration on white sections
Gently clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn marks, use a specialized shoe cleaner suitable for leather and white accents.
Laces wear out quickly
Replace laces with a durable alternative. Ensure laces are not tied too tightly, which can cause premature wear.
