FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for intense athletic running?
While durable and comfortable, the 57/40 series is primarily designed for lifestyle and daily casual wear rather than high-performance running.
How should I clean the black leather?
Wipe away dirt with a soft, damp cloth and use a dedicated leather cleaner for deeper stains. Avoid machine washing.
Does the leather stretch over time?
Yes, genuine leather tends to stretch and mold slightly to the shape of your foot with consistent wear.
Is the 57/40 series true to size?
New Balance sizing is generally consistent, but it is always best to consult the brand's official sizing guide for the most accurate fit.
Can I use these in rainy weather?
The leather upper provides some resistance, but they are not waterproof. Use a leather water-repellent spray for extra protection.
Troubleshooting
Leather showing scuffs
Use a specialized leather polish or a neutral leather balm to buff out light scuffs and restore the finish.
Creasing at the toe box
Insert wooden shoe trees after wear to help the leather retain its structure and reduce deep creasing.
Shoe feels stiff initially
Leather footwear may require a short break-in period; wear them for short durations indoors initially to soften the material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are leather trainers, proper care is essential to maintain their finish. Use a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt immediately after use. For deeper cleaning, apply a leather-specific cleaner and follow up with a protective conditioner to prevent the material from drying out. To maintain the shape of your shoes, consider using shoe trees when they are not in use. Ensure your UK size is confirmed using the standard New Balance size guide to ensure optimal comfort.
