FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the New Balance 57/40 follows standard UK adult sizing, fitting consistently with other models in the New Balance lifestyle range.
Can I use these for running?
While durable, these are lifestyle trainers and are not recommended for rigorous sports, distance running, or high-intensity gym training.
How do I best clean the grey leather sections?
Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt and a damp cloth with a mild leather-safe cleaner for stains.
Is the material breathable?
The leather construction provides moderate breathability; however, it is more structured and warmer than thin mesh athletic shoes.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the standard inserts are generally removable if you need to replace them with custom orthotics.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the leather upper
Use shoe trees when not in use to help the leather retain its shape and minimize permanent creasing.
Scuffs on the exterior
Use a specialized leather eraser or a soft brush with a mild soap solution to gently buff out surface scuffs.
Laces coming undone frequently
Ensure the laces are threaded properly through all eyelets and use a double knot if walking for extended durations.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these trainers come pre-laced, setup is minimal—simply adjust the tension to your foot's width and secure them. To ensure the longevity of your New Balance 57/40s, it is recommended to spot-clean the leather with a soft, damp cloth or a designated leather cleaner. Avoid submerging them in water or using harsh detergents, as this can degrade the natural finish of the leather. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from artificial heat sources to avoid leather cracking.
