FAQs

Are New Balance 57/40 trainers true to size?

Yes, most users find the 57/40 to fit true to their standard New Balance sizing.

Can I use these trainers for running?

While comfortable for walking and daily wear, these are categorized as lifestyle trainers and are not optimized for long-distance running or high-intensity athletic performance.

How do I clean the Cream-colored mesh and panels?

Gently scrub with a soft-bristled brush and a mixture of mild soap and water. Avoid submerging the shoes fully in water.

Is this a unisex model?

Yes, the 57/40 is designed as a unisex silhouette, though sizing is typically converted to standard adult foot measurements.

Does the 57/40 offer good arch support?

The model features a supportive midsole designed for daily wear, providing standard arch support suitable for most casual users.

What is the primary material difference compared to the classic 574?

The 57/40 features a more complex, layered upper design compared to the more streamlined, traditional profile of the original 574.

Troubleshooting

Creasing on the upper material

Use a shoe tree when not wearing to help the material retain its shape and minimize deep creases.

Surface stains on the Cream exterior

Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt and a damp cloth with a tiny amount of mild soap for stubborn surface marks.

Loss of initial comfort

Consider replacing the original insoles with high-quality aftermarket inserts if your arch support requirements have changed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your New Balance 57/40 trainers remain in top condition, proper care is essential. Since the upper features a layered design with varied textures, it is best to avoid machine washing, which can damage the structural adhesives. Instead, spot clean with a soft-bristled brush, lukewarm water, and a mild detergent to keep the Cream material looking vibrant. For sizing, it is recommended to reference standard New Balance size charts, as the unisex fit is generally true-to-size. To maintain the shape of the footwear when not in use, consider using cedar shoe trees or stuffing them with acid-free paper to absorb moisture and preserve the silhouette.
