FAQs

Are these sneakers suitable for athletic activities?

The New Balance 57/40 is primarily designed as a lifestyle sneaker, offering comfort and style for everyday wear. While they can be used for light activities, they are not optimized for rigorous athletic performance.

What materials are used in the 'Lunar New Year - Eclipse' edition?

This special edition features a leather upper, consistent with the 57/40 series, providing durability and a premium feel. Specific accents may vary.

How does the sizing run for the 57/40 model?

The 57/40 generally runs true to size. However, it's always recommended to consult the New Balance size guide or try them on if possible, as individual fit can vary.

Can I wash these sneakers in a washing machine?

No, machine washing is not recommended for leather sneakers as it can damage the materials and the shoe's structure. Hand wash using a damp cloth and appropriate leather cleaner.

Is the Lunar New Year theme only visual, or does it affect the fit?

The Lunar New Year theme is purely aesthetic and does not impact the fit or performance of the sneaker. The silhouette and comfort remain consistent with the standard 57/40 model.

What does 'Eclipse' refer to in the colorway?

'Eclipse' refers to the primary color scheme of the sneaker, which in this case is a deep blue, offering a versatile and stylish look.

What is the warranty period for these sneakers?

Warranty information can vary. Please refer to the official New Balance website or the retailer's policy for specific warranty details applicable to your purchase.

Troubleshooting

Leather creasing or scuffing

Minor creasing is normal with leather. For scuffs, use a leather cleaner specifically designed for the color of the shoe. Avoid excessive force when cleaning.

Color transfer from socks

This can occur with new footwear. Ensure socks are colorfast. If color transfer occurs, gently clean the interior with a slightly damp cloth and allow to dry completely.

Discomfort after first wear

New shoes may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially to allow them to mold to your feet. Ensure correct sizing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

These sneakers require no setup and are ready to wear out of the box. They are designed for general adult use and are compatible with standard casual wear.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: For best results, clean the leather upper with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the material or the special design elements.
  • Drying: If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources, as this can cause the leather to crack or warp.
  • Storage: Store the sneakers in a cool, dry place when not in use. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
