FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The New Balance 57/40 Moonbeam is designed primarily as a lifestyle shoe for everyday comfort and style. They are not optimized for running and lack the specific support and cushioning features of dedicated running shoes.
How do I clean the leather?
Wipe the leather gently with a slightly damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a specialized leather cleaner, applying it sparingly. Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
While the leather can withstand light moisture, prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended. Consider using a waterproofing spray designed for leather to offer some protection.
What does 'Moonbeam' refer to?
'Moonbeam' is the name of the specific colorway for this New Balance 57/40 model, typically referring to a light, off-white or creamy hue.
How does the 57/40 sizing run?
New Balance generally offers consistent sizing. It is recommended to consult the size chart provided by the retailer or New Balance, and if possible, try them on to ensure the best fit, especially since they are unisex.
What is the material of the shoe?
The primary upper material for this specific variant is premium leather.
Troubleshooting
Leather appears dry or scuffed
Apply a leather conditioner or polish suitable for the shoe's color to restore moisture and minimize scuff marks. Test in an inconspicuous area first.
Shoes feel stiff initially
Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in. Walking around indoors can help soften the leather and conform to your foot.
Soles show signs of wear
Regularly clean the soles to ensure optimal grip. For significant wear, consult a cobbler for potential sole repair or replacement options.

Care:
