FAQs

Are the New Balance 57/40 trainers true to size?

Sizing can vary slightly. It is recommended to check customer reviews for specific feedback on sizing for this model. Many users suggest trying them on if possible or consulting a size chart.

Can I wear these trainers for running?

The 57/40 is designed primarily for casual wear and lifestyle. While they offer comfort for walking and light activity, they are not optimized for serious running and may lack the necessary support and cushioning for that purpose.

How do I clean the suede parts of the trainers?

Use a dedicated suede brush to clean off dirt. For stains, a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth with a mild cleaner can be used. Always test cleaning products on an inconspicuous area first and allow to air dry.

What is the main difference between the 574 and 57/40 models?

The 57/40 builds upon the 574's legacy with a more contemporary and exaggerated design, featuring a wider base, a bolder 'N' logo, and a stacked midsole for a more modern aesthetic.

Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?

The standard fit is generally considered medium. Some users with wider feet may find them a bit snug. Consider trying them on or looking for wide (2E or 4E) versions if available.

What materials are the trainers made of?

The 57/40 typically features a combination of suede and mesh or synthetic materials for the upper, with a rubber outsole for traction and a cushioned midsole for comfort.

Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?

While the materials offer some resistance, they are not fully waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain may lead to them becoming saturated. It's best to avoid wearing them in very wet conditions and ensure they are properly dried afterward.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Try wearing thinner socks or consider using a shoe stretcher for a wider fit. If the issue persists, consider trying a half-size up.

Suede appears scuffed or dirty

Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner, following product instructions carefully.

Laces wear out quickly

Replace worn laces with a durable pair of the same length. Consider waxing the laces for increased longevity.

Soles feel slippery

Ensure the outsoles are clean and free from debris. For very smooth surfaces, consider a light scuffing of the sole with fine-grit sandpaper or a specialized sole protector.
