FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The 57/40 is categorized as a lifestyle trainer designed for everyday walking and casual use, not for distance running or intense athletic training.
How do I determine the right size?
New Balance typically runs true to size. If you are between sizes, we recommend opting for your usual size in other athletic brands or checking the size guide provided on the product page.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No. Machine washing can damage the leather and the adhesives holding the chunky sole together. Stick to manual cleaning methods.
Is the leather upper waterproof?
The leather is durable, but not inherently waterproof. We recommend applying a protective leather spray if you plan to wear them in wet conditions.
What is the primary difference between the 57/40 and standard 574s?
The 57/40 features a more exaggerated, modern chunky midsole and a more complex layered aesthetic compared to the more traditional, slim profile of the original 574.
Troubleshooting
Leather showing scuff marks
Gently buff the area with a dry cloth or a specialized leather eraser to lift surface marks.
Insole comfort diminished over time
Consider replacing the removable factory insole with an aftermarket orthotic if additional arch support or cushioning is needed.
Difficulty getting shoes on
Ensure the laces are fully loosened before inserting the foot, as the padded tongue and collar are designed for a secure, snug fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 57/40 trainers remain in top condition, proper care is essential.
Care Instructions
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the leather surfaces. For deeper stains, use a mild leather cleaner applied sparingly with a cloth.
- Protection: Consider applying a water and stain repellent spray specifically formulated for leather to protect against the elements.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather fading or cracking.
Compatibility
- Sizing: These shoes follow standard adult UK sizing; verify your fit using a reliable foot measurement device.
- Wear: Best paired with socks that provide enough padding to complement the internal structure of the trainer.
