Product Information

Full details

The New Balance 57/40 is designed for adult females seeking a blend of retro style and modern comfort in their footwear. Its key benefit lies in its versatile design, pairing easily with casual outfits for a sporty, elevated look. A potential caveat is that the chunky sole, while stylish, may require a brief adjustment period for those unaccustomed to this silhouette. This shoe offers a refreshed take on the iconic 574, featuring a unique suede and mesh upper with distinctive wavy overlays and reflective accents, all grounded by an oversized 'N' logo and a substantial midsole for comfort and traction.

FAQs

What is the main difference between the 574 and the 57/40?

The 57/40 is a modern reimagining of the 574, featuring an exaggerated, chunkier sole, wavy overlays, oversized branding, and reflective accents for a more contemporary and bold aesthetic.

Are these shoes good for running or sports?

No, the New Balance 57/40 is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual wear shoe. It offers comfort for walking and daily activities but is not intended for high-impact sports or running.

How do I clean the suede parts of the shoe?

Use a specialized suede brush to clean off dry dirt. For stains, a suede eraser can be used. Always allow suede to air dry completely away from heat.

What materials are the shoes made of?

The shoes feature a combination of suede and mesh on the upper, with a cushioned midsole and a rubber outsole.

When were these shoes originally released?

The New Balance 57/40 Sea Salt Calm Taupe (W) was released in January 2022.

Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes, as it can damage the materials, especially the suede and adhesives. Hand cleaning is the preferred method.

What is the purpose of the reflective accents?

The reflective accents are designed to increase visibility in low-light conditions, adding a functional style element to the shoe.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears scuffed or dirty

Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For persistent marks, try a suede eraser.

Shoes feel stiff initially

Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow the materials to break in and conform to your feet. The cushioned insole and soft upper should become more comfortable with use.

Laces becoming worn or dirty

Clean laces with mild soap and water or replace them with a new pair of standard athletic laces for a fresh look.

Traction seems reduced on wet surfaces

The rubber outsole provides good grip, but exercise caution on very wet or slippery surfaces, as with any casual footwear.
