FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The 57/40 is designed as a casual lifestyle sneaker and is not intended for long-distance running or high-intensity athletic performance.
How do I determine my size?
This model follows standard adult sizing. If you have worn New Balance before, we recommend sticking to your usual size.
Can these be machine washed?
No, machine washing can damage the materials and glue. Hand cleaning is the recommended method for longevity.

The series is a modern reinterpretation of New Balance legacy designs from the 1980s and 1990s.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt accumulation on the mesh
Use a soft brush to gently dislodge dust, followed by a light wipe with a damp cloth and mild detergent.
Laces becoming undone frequently
Ensure a double-knot or tuck the ends under the cross-lacing to maintain tension.
Soles feeling slippery on certain surfaces
Wipe the rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove buildup, which can affect traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 57/40 sneakers maintain their form, store them in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight when not in use. Given the mesh construction, it is recommended to treat them with a fabric-safe stain repellent before initial wear to protect against everyday dirt. For cleaning, use a soft-bristle brush to remove surface dust. If the shoes become dirty, gently wipe the mesh and rubber sections with a mild soap solution and a damp cloth; avoid soaking the shoes or placing them in a washing machine, as this can degrade the adhesives and structural integrity of the midsole.
