FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running or sports?
The New Balance 57/40 'Moonbeam' M5740RE1 are designed primarily for lifestyle and casual wear. While they offer comfort and support for walking, they are not engineered for high-impact sports or rigorous athletic activities.
How should I clean the leather material?
Gently wipe the shoes with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, use a dedicated leather cleaner and follow the product's instructions. Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
While the leather offers some protection, these shoes are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to prevent damage and staining to the leather.
What does 'Moonbeam' refer to in the product name?
'Moonbeam' refers to the specific colorway of the shoe, which is a sophisticated shade of grey with potential subtle undertones, characteristic of the 'Moonbeam' collection.
How do I know if I've chosen the correct UK size?
It's recommended to measure your foot length and compare it to New Balance's official size chart. Reviews often suggest whether the shoe runs true to size, small, or large, which can also help in making a selection.
Is the sizing the same for men and women?
These are unisex shoes, meaning they are designed to fit both men and women. It's important to consult the specific size chart provided by New Balance for unisex footwear to ensure an accurate fit, as men's and women's sizing can differ.
What is the return policy if the size is incorrect?
Return policies vary by retailer. Please check the specific terms and conditions of the store where you purchased the shoes regarding exchanges or returns for incorrect sizing.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable
Allow for a break-in period by wearing them for short durations initially. Consider using thicker socks during wear to help stretch the leather gently. If persistent, consult a shoe repair specialist for potential stretching options.
Leather shows signs of scuffing or discoloration
Gently clean the affected area with a leather cleaner and a soft cloth. For minor scuffs, a leather conditioner or cream in a matching color might help mask the mark. For deeper damage, professional restoration may be required.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
Ensure the soles are clean and free of debris. For significantly slippery soles, consider applying a shoe grip treatment or consulting a cobbler about adding rubber sole protectors.
