FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The New Balance 57/40 trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and everyday comfort. While they offer good support for walking, they are not specialized running shoes.
How do I clean the grey suede/mesh parts?
For suede and mesh, use a soft brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, a damp cloth with mild soap can be carefully applied, followed by a clean damp cloth. Avoid soaking the material.
What is the main difference between the 57/40 and other New Balance series?
The 57/40 series is characterized by its distinctive oversized 'N' logo and a stacked midsole, offering a bolder, more exaggerated take on New Balance's retro running shoe heritage.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
These trainers are not waterproof. While they can handle light moisture, prolonged exposure to heavy rain may damage the materials and affect comfort. Consider a water-repellent spray for added protection.
What UK size is equivalent to a US size?
Typically, a US men's size is approximately 1.5 sizes larger than a UK men's size. For example, a US 9.5 is often equivalent to a UK 8. However, it is always best to consult the specific size chart provided by New Balance.
What material are the trainers made from?
The materials can vary slightly by specific model, but the 57/40 series often incorporates a mix of suede, leather, and mesh for its upper construction, providing both durability and breathability.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Try wearing thinner socks or consider using a shoe stretcher. If the issue persists, check if you have the correct size, as sizing can vary slightly.
Slight discoloration on white areas
Use a specialized shoe cleaner for white materials or a paste of baking soda and water. Gently scrub the affected area and wipe clean.
Reduced cushioning over time
While designed for durability, cushioning may lessen with extensive use. For enhanced comfort, consider using insoles.
