Does this model fit true to size?
Yes, the New Balance 57/40 generally fits true to size for most adult users.
How do I remove scuffs from the leather?
Use a specialized leather eraser or a soft, damp cloth with a mild soap solution to gently buff out scuff marks.
Can I replace the insoles?

How do I prevent the mesh from getting dirty?
Using a fabric protector spray before your first wear can help repel dust and light moisture from the mesh panels.
Troubleshooting
Sneaker feels too tight in the toe box.
Ensure the laces are not pulled too tight at the bottom eyelets; loosen them slightly to accommodate foot swelling throughout the day.
Leather looks dull after use.
Apply a high-quality leather conditioner or cream to restore moisture and shine to the material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these sneakers arrive ready to wear, no technical setup is required. To ensure your New Balance 57/40s maintain their look and comfort, follow these care steps:
- Break-in Period: If the leather feels rigid, wear them for shorter intervals around the house for the first few days to allow the material to soften to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the mesh and leather. For deeper stains on the leather, use a professional leather cleaner. Avoid submerging the sneakers in water.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause the material to fade over time.
- Compatibility: The neutral grey tone makes this shoe highly compatible with a wide range of wardrobe palettes, including navy, black, denim, and earth tones.
