Product Information
Full details
The New Balance 57/40 'Sea Salt' is a stylish and comfortable sneaker designed for adult males seeking fashion-forward footwear for casual wear. Its key benefit lies in the fusion of 80s and 90s inspired design with modern comfort elements, making it a versatile choice. A potential caveat is that the mesh upper, while lightweight, may offer less durability in harsh conditions compared to fully leather alternatives. This sneaker features a lightweight mesh upper, a soft and cushioned midsole for comfort, and a durable rubber outsole for traction.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The New Balance 57/40 'Sea Salt' is primarily designed for casual wear and comfort. While they offer good cushioning for walking, they are not optimized for high-impact running activities and do not provide the specialized support of running-specific shoes.
How do I determine the correct size?
It is recommended to try on the shoes if possible. Refer to New Balance's official sizing chart for general guidance. Note that fit can be subjective and may vary slightly between models.
Can I wash these sneakers in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these sneakers. Machine washing can damage the materials, adhesives, and shape of the shoe. Hand cleaning as described in the Care Instructions section is the preferred method.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper of the New Balance 57/40 'Sea Salt' is primarily constructed from a lightweight mesh material for breathability.
How does the 'Sea Salt' colorway differ from other variants?
The 'Sea Salt' typically refers to a base color often featuring grey tones. Other variants might incorporate additional colors like white or black, as seen in some sibling models, offering slightly different aesthetic options.
What is the inspiration behind the 57/40 design?
The 57/40 series is inspired by the design aesthetics of the 1980s and 1990s, blending retro elements with modern updates for a contemporary look.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure laces are loosened before putting on. If still tight, consider if the size is appropriate. Break-in period may be required for a snug fit.
Discomfort after prolonged wear
Verify the correct size is being worn. Ensure laces are tied appropriately to provide support without restricting circulation. The shoes are designed for casual comfort, not high-impact sports.
Scuffs or marks on the upper
Gently clean with a damp cloth and mild soap solution. For leather parts, a specialized leather cleaner may be used. Test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.
Slipping on wet surfaces
The rubber outsole provides traction, but caution should still be exercised on extremely wet or slippery surfaces. Ensure the outsole is clean from debris.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to gently clean the mesh and leather surfaces. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water.
