FAQs
What makes the 'Lunar New Year Eclipse' special?
This edition celebrates the Lunar New Year with a unique design and colorway, specifically a striking green, distinguishing it from standard releases.
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While comfortable for walking, these sneakers are primarily designed for casual wear and lifestyle. They do not offer the specialized support or cushioning required for high-impact running.
How do I clean the green suede/leather parts?
For suede, use a dry brush or a suede eraser. For leather, wipe with a damp cloth. For stubborn stains, consult a specialized shoe cleaner and follow its instructions carefully, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
It is generally advised to avoid wearing these sneakers in heavy rain or wet conditions, as moisture can damage the materials and affect the color. If they get wet, dry them thoroughly as per the care instructions.
What other colors are available in the 57/40 series?
The 57/40 series comes in various colorways. While this guide focuses on the Lunar New Year green, other options like blue and other combinations are available across different releases.
How durable are these sneakers?
New Balance is known for quality construction. These sneakers are built with durable materials intended for regular casual use, but their lifespan will depend on wear frequency and care.
Is the 'Eclipse' referring to a specific feature?
The term 'Eclipse' in this context is part of the specific product name for the Lunar New Year edition, likely referring to the overall aesthetic or a subtle design element within the collection, rather than a functional feature.
Troubleshooting
Sizing feels off
Ensure you have measured your foot correctly. Refer to New Balance's official sizing chart. For minor tightness, breaking them in with thick socks can help. For significant sizing issues, consider exchanging for a different size if possible.
Color transfer from the green dye
Avoid prolonged contact with light-colored materials, especially when the shoes are new or wet. If transfer occurs, clean the affected area immediately with a mild soap and water solution. Consider applying a protective spray designed for footwear.
Reduced comfort after initial wear
Break in the shoes gradually over a few days. Ensure laces are adjusted properly, not too tight or too loose. If discomfort persists, the shoe's fit may not be suitable for your foot type.
