FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the New Balance 57/40 generally fits true to size for most users, though those with wider feet may consider a half-size up.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
While the rubber sole provides good grip, the leather upper is not waterproof. It is recommended to apply a protective spray to guard against moisture.
Is this model suitable for running?
The 57/40 is categorized as a lifestyle trainer designed for walking and everyday use, rather than specialized athletic performance or long-distance running.
How do I maintain the vibrant color accents?
Clean the colored areas carefully with a damp cloth and avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbing brushes that could cause color bleeding.
What is the inspiration behind the 57/40?
The 57/40 is an evolution of the iconic 574 series, blending classic 80s design elements with a modern, bulkier aesthetic.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on the leather upper
Use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain the structure and minimize deep set-in creases.
Surface scuffs on the leather
Use a matching leather polish or a neutral leather conditioner to buff out light scuffs and restore the finish.
Outsole losing traction
Ensure the tread is free of trapped dirt or debris by brushing the sole with a stiff-bristled brush.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your New Balance 57/40 trainers, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in: While the shoes are comfortable out of the box, wear them for short intervals initially to allow the leather to mold to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Wipe away surface dirt with a soft, dry cloth. For tougher stains on the leather, use a specialized leather cleaner and a soft-bristled brush.
- Protection: Apply a water and stain repellent spray suitable for leather to protect against the elements and accidental spills.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading and leather cracking.
- Compatibility: The neutral grey base allows for easy pairing with denim, chinos, or athletic wear, making them highly compatible with most casual wardrobes.
