FAQs

What makes this edition 'Lunar New Year Eclipse'?

This special edition features design elements and color inspirations tied to the Lunar New Year celebration, with the 'Eclipse' referring to the primary blue colorway.

What material is the shoe made of?

The primary upper material is leather, offering a premium look and feel.

Are these suitable for running or sports?

The New Balance 57/40 is designed primarily for casual wear and lifestyle use. While comfortable, they are not optimized for high-impact athletic activities like running.

How do I clean the leather parts?

Use a soft brush for dry dirt. For tougher stains, a slightly damp cloth with mild soap and water can be used. Avoid excessive moisture or soaking.

What sizes are available?

These sneakers are available in various adult UK sizes. Please check the available size options for the specific product listing.

Is this a limited edition?

Yes, this is a special edition celebrating the Lunar New Year, which often implies limited production and availability.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

While the leather offers some protection, these are not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to maintain their condition and longevity.

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels slightly tight or stiff initially

New leather shoes often require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Consider using thicker socks during the break-in phase.

Color transfer from the shoe to socks

This can sometimes occur with new, darker dyed footwear. It is usually more prevalent when the shoe is wet. Ensure shoes are dry before wearing. Washing socks separately for the first few wears can help prevent dye transfer to other garments.

Laces become dirty

Remove the laces and hand wash them with mild detergent and water. Allow them to dry completely before re-lacing the shoes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: As footwear, these sneakers require no setup. Simply lace them up and wear them.

Compatibility: These sneakers are compatible with a wide range of casual attire, including jeans, shorts, and athleisure wear. They are suitable for adult males.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: For the leather and suede components, use a soft brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, use a slightly damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid soaking the shoes.
  2. Drying: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with paper to help absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hair dryers, as this can damage the materials.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in a shoe box or dust bag, to protect them from dust and potential damage.
