FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The 57/40 is designed primarily as a lifestyle and casual trainer for everyday use, not as a specialized athletic running shoe.
Is the leather upper waterproof?
While leather provides better water resistance than mesh, it is not fully waterproof. We recommend applying a leather-safe water repellent spray for extra protection.
How do I choose the right size?
The New Balance 57/40 follows standard UK adult sizing. It is recommended to order your normal shoe size.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, you should never submerge leather shoes in a washing machine, as the heat and water can permanently damage the material and construction.
Is this a unisex model?
This specific variant is engineered for adult male anatomy and fit.
Troubleshooting
Leather surface shows signs of scuffing
Use a leather conditioner or a color-matched leather polish to buff out minor scuffs and restore the finish.
The fit feels too tight initially
Since these are leather, they will naturally soften and mold to your foot over time. Ensure you are wearing the correct thickness of socks and give them a few days of light use to break them in.

To get the most out of your New Balance 57/40, ensure you select your standard UK sizing, as the fit is designed to be consistent with standard adult sizing charts.
Care Instructions:
- Routine Cleaning: Wipe down the leather exterior with a soft, damp cloth after use to remove surface dirt.
- Stain Removal: For deeper cleaning, use a dedicated leather cleaner applied with a soft brush or cloth; avoid harsh solvents that could damage the finish.
- Moisture Protection: If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can cause the leather to crack.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place and use shoe trees if possible to help maintain the structure of the trainer over time.
