FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The 57/40 is designed as a lifestyle, everyday trainer. While supportive, it is not optimized for high-intensity athletic running.
How do I maintain the black colour?
Regularly wipe with a damp cloth and apply a high-quality leather cream or black polish to maintain the pigment and hydration of the leather.
What is the primary material used?
These trainers feature a premium leather upper designed for durability and a sophisticated aesthetic.
Are these trainers true to size?
New Balance typically fits true to size, but leather versions may feel more structured than mesh alternatives initially.
Can the insoles be removed?
Yes, most New Balance lifestyle trainers have removable insoles if you require custom orthotics.
Troubleshooting
Leather surface shows signs of scuffing
Use a leather conditioner or a black leather polish matching the shade to blend and mask minor surface abrasions.
Shoes feel too tight during initial wear
Ensure you are using thin performance socks initially; leather will naturally soften and stretch slightly with consistent use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your New Balance 57/40 trainers, follow these guidelines:
- Breaking In: Wear your trainers for short durations initially to allow the premium leather to adapt to the shape of your feet.
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry brush to remove loose dirt from the surface. For deeper cleaning, apply a leather-specific cleaner with a soft cloth. Avoid submerging the shoes in water.
- Storage: Keep your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather cracking or fading.
- Compatibility: These trainers are available in various sizes from UK 4.5 to 12. Ensure you verify your exact size, as the leather material provides a structured fit.
