The 57/40 is the answer to a question that is simple, yet astronomical in scale. Despite its legacy of unassuming, almost effortless versatility, the original 574 was a unique design for its era, a hybrid road/trail design that didn't lean on visible technical features. The 57/40 approaches the hybrid concept with a few extra years' worth of design developments to explore, and creates a new perspective on an iconic design. An overall sleeker silhouette provided by a slimmer last combines with a range of exaggerated features. The unique midsole combines a flared take on the classic 574 construction with ‘90s tech inspired details, while the mudguard and eyerow feature the distinctive wavy embellishments of the ‘80s.

I loved the design of these but the fit wasn’t great. They’re narrow and were too small for my usual size, but looked bulky so if I’d had sized up they’d have looked huge which is annoying.

Love these shoes, run true to size though I got a half a size too small so they're tight on my toes but they were the last size left on sale so I had toGet compliments every time I wear them, and people like the shoes too

They definitely run small. Had to return. Will consider trying to size up.

I am a solid size 8 with a fairly narrow foot. I usually wear size 8 in NB, but these were too tight in the toe box. Exchanging for an 8.5.
Nice vivid colours, but pretty narrow. It's OK, but needs time to get proper comfy
Super cute, I wear them with dresses. At first they pinched a bit around the ankles, but they seem to be breaking in nicely.

First, I absolutely love this color way and style but the fit was off. The shoe, imo does not run TTS and overall fit was odd in comparison to my other NB's.
I was immediately impressed by how comfortable these shoes are - I always get blisters or some sort of discomfort when first wearing new shoes, and that was totally nonexistent with these. Great for walking all day, and I think the platform style gives a lot of support. Love how vibrant the colors are, and I'm a huge fan overall!
I bought this a couple of weeks ago. The colours are exactly as shown. I usually wear size 7 but ordered a 6. Shoes were tight/narrow at the front but after 3 wears they feel absolutely perfect. Received a lot of compliments. Delivery was smooth
