Product Information
Full details
The New Balance 57/40 is designed for adult men seeking a versatile lifestyle sneaker that bridges the gap between retro 80s and 90s aesthetic sensibilities and modern comfort. Its primary benefit is a bold, stylish look featuring iconic oversized N branding and a premium leather construction that elevates casual outfits. However, users should note that the chunky retro-inspired silhouette may feel heavier or more substantial on the foot compared to lightweight performance running shoes.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the New Balance 57/40 is designed as a lifestyle sneaker and lacks the technical cushioning required for long-distance running.
Is the material waterproof?
The leather upper provides some resistance to light rain, but the shoe is not waterproof and should not be submerged.
How do I find my correct size?
New Balance sizing is generally standard; it is recommended to use your standard UK shoe size for the best fit.
Can the insoles be removed?
Yes, the insoles are removable if you prefer to use your own custom orthotics.
How do I clean the reflective details?
Gently wipe the reflective areas with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that may degrade the reflective coating.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming untied frequently
Ensure you are using a double knot or look for replacement laces with better friction properties.
Leather showing scuff marks
Use a matching leather polish or a soft eraser designed for footwear to buff out minor surface scuffs.
Inner lining feels slightly stiff
The leather will break in over time; wear them for short periods initially to allow the material to soften.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 57/40s maintain their appearance, follow these guidelines. Setup involves ensuring the laces are threaded properly to your comfort level to prevent slippage. Regarding compatibility, the neutral grey tones make these trainers highly versatile, pairing well with denim, chinos, or casual joggers. For care, keep the leather clean by wiping away dust with a dry cloth; for deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner and avoid submerging the shoes in water. Allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources to prevent the leather from cracking.
