FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running or sports?

The New Balance 57/40 'Lunar New Year - Eclipse' is designed primarily for casual wear and everyday comfort, not for specialized athletic performance like running or intense sports.

How do I clean the leather upper?

Use a soft brush for dry dirt. For stains, a damp cloth with a mild soap solution is recommended. Always air dry away from heat.

What does 'Lunar New Year - Eclipse' refer to?

This refers to a specific colorway and design theme inspired by the Lunar New Year, featuring a blend of blue and green hues.

What is the main difference between the 57/40 and other New Balance series?

The 57/40 series is known for its distinctive wavy 'N' logo and a slightly chunkier silhouette that blends retro 574 elements with modern styling, offering a broader profile than some other classic models.

Can I wear these shoes in wet conditions?

While the leather offers some protection, these are not waterproof shoes. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to preserve the material and comfort.

How do I find the right size?

Refer to New Balance's official sizing chart. It is recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with the provided chart. For this specific model, UK size 8.5 is listed.

Troubleshooting

Stiffness in new shoes

Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in and mold to your feet. Using thicker socks can also help stretch them slightly.

Slight color transfer from leather

This is normal for some leathers. Ensure socks worn are of a color that won't show transfer easily. Conditioning the leather may help reduce this over time.

Discomfort after extended wear

Ensure you have the correct size and width. Consider using insoles for added cushioning if needed. Give your feet a break from wearing them for a day.
