FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

The New Balance 57/40 'Sea Salt' is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual wear sneaker. While they offer comfort for walking, they may not provide the specialized support and cushioning required for intense running activities.

How do I clean the leather parts of the shoe?

Use a soft brush or cloth with a mild soap and water solution. Gently wipe the leather. For tougher dirt, consider a leather-specific cleaner, testing it on a small, hidden area first.

What is the 'Sea Salt' color description?

The 'Sea Salt' color typically refers to a light, off-white or pale grey shade, inspired by the natural color of sea salt. This specific model is a grey variant.

Can I machine wash these sneakers?

It is not recommended to machine wash these sneakers. Machine washing can damage the adhesives, materials, and shape of the shoe. Hand washing with mild soap and water is the preferred method.

What is the inspiration behind the 57/40 series?

The 57/40 series is inspired by the design aesthetics of the 1980s and 1990s, blending classic elements with modern updates for a contemporary look.

Do these sneakers come in other colors?

Yes, the New Balance 57/40 series is available in various colorways. This guide focuses on the 'Sea Salt' (Grey) variant.

What size should I order if I'm unsure?

Refer to the New Balance official sizing chart for accurate measurements. It's also helpful to try on shoes in a retail store if possible, or consider the width options if available.

Troubleshooting

Sizing feels off

Ensure you are wearing the type of socks you typically wear with sneakers. If still uncomfortable, consider if a different size or width is needed. Refer to New Balance sizing guides if unsure.

Discoloration on 'Sea Salt' upper

Gently clean the affected area with a damp cloth and mild soap. For tougher stains, use a soft brush and a specialized sneaker cleaner suitable for leather and mesh. Always test in an inconspicuous area first.

Reduced cushioning over time

While designed for durability, cushioning can naturally decrease with extensive use. Consider if the sneakers have reached the end of their typical lifespan for optimal comfort.
