FAQs
Are the New Balance 57/40 shoes true to size?
Yes, most users find that the 57/40 fits true to size, though personal preference for width can vary.
Can I use these for running?
These are classified as lifestyle trainers. While they are comfortable, they lack the technical features required for dedicated running.
How do I clean the leather?
Wipe with a damp cloth. For tougher dirt, use a dedicated leather cleaner or a mild soap solution.
Is the leather genuine?
Yes, the New Balance 57/40 trainers use high-quality leather construction for the upper panels.
Are these shoes water-resistant?
The leather offers some natural water resistance, but they are not waterproof and should not be worn in heavy rain.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on the leather upper
Use shoe trees when not in use to help the leather maintain its shape and minimize deep creases.
Difficulty putting on the shoe
Ensure the laces are fully loosened before inserting your foot; leather may feel stiff during the first few wears until it softens.
Surface stains on the leather
Clean promptly with a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth with mild soap, avoiding harsh chemicals that can strip the finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
When you first receive your New Balance 57/40 trainers, ensure you perform a brief fit test to verify they accommodate your foot shape properly, as leather can take a few wears to break in fully. For maintenance, keep these shoes in good condition by wiping the leather surface with a damp cloth after exposure to mud or dirt. Avoid machine washing or submersing the shoes in water, as this can damage the leather finish and adhesive bonds. If the leather begins to look dull, use a mild leather conditioner to maintain suppleness. For storage, keep them in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration.
