FAQs
Is the New Balance 57/40 suitable for running?
While the 57/40 is very comfortable, it is designed as a lifestyle and fashion shoe rather than a dedicated performance running trainer.
Does the shoe run true to size?
The 57/40 generally fits true to size, though the layered upper provides a secure, structured fit. If you prefer a roomier toe box, some users prefer sizing up by half a size.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, we do not recommend washing these in a machine as it can damage the glue, leather, and overall structure of the trainer.
Are these shoes unisex?
The New Balance 57/40 series is available in both gender-specific and unisex variations, with a wide range of sizes offered for different foot shapes.
How do I maintain the grey colour?
Keep the shoes clean of dust and mud, and avoid prolonged exposure to harsh UV light to keep the colour from shifting over time.
Troubleshooting
The leather upper feels stiff initially.
Wear the shoes indoors for short periods to allow the natural materials to soften and adapt to your foot movement.
Dirt stuck in the layered panels.
Use a dry, soft-bristled toothbrush to gently clear debris from the crevices between the material layers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 57/40 trainers remain in top condition, follow these care steps:
- Breaking In: New leather-based trainers may require a few days of light wear to perfectly contour to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristle brush to remove dry dirt from the upper. For stains, gently wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid submerging them in water.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the grey materials from fading.
- Protection: Use a protective spray suitable for leather and mixed materials to repel water and surface stains before first use.
