FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the 57/40 series is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual walking shoe, not for high-intensity athletic training.
How do I ensure the right fit?
These trainers are sized according to standard UK adult measurements; we recommend choosing your regular shoe size.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the leather and adhesive components; always clean by hand.
Are they waterproof?
While the leather construction is durable, the shoes are not strictly waterproof; using a leather-safe water repellent spray can improve resistance to moisture.
What is the primary material used?
The exterior upper is constructed from high-quality leather for both durability and a premium aesthetic.
Troubleshooting
Leather showing scuffs or marks
Use a specialized leather eraser or a soft cloth with a mild leather cleaner to gently buff away surface scuffs.
Insole comfort decreasing over time
Consider replacing the original factory insoles with high-quality aftermarket orthotic inserts for continued support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 57/40 trainers stay in optimal condition, proper care is essential:
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush or a damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid submerging the trainers in water, as this can degrade the leather.
- Leather Treatment: Periodically apply a leather conditioner or protector spray specifically designed for footwear to keep the material from cracking or drying out.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain the shape when not in use.
- Compatibility: These trainers fit true to standard adult sizing; ensure you select your specific UK size for the best fit.
