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 am a women’s size 11 and the men’s 9.5 was the perfect fit (size 9 would’ve been small). I do have a wide foot, so the top of the shoe was tight with slightly thick socks but I tried thin socks and that seemed to do the trick. Hopefully with wear they will stretch slightly. But wow they are comfortable!

Very comfortable and breathable. Good color combo. Great for walking in all day.

Perfect sneaker! Very comfy and great for regular wear. It has that chunky sole that is trendy but its not over the top. Shows you are stylish but practical.

I bought these for my teenager and he really likes them. They fit nice and the navy color is classic and won't get dirty. Highly recommend these and happy with my purchase. Great sale price also.
I wear these all the time, they fit perfectly and I absolutely adore them.
Look great on the feet. Super comfortable. Fit true to size. Half size up if you have wide feet.
Very well put together shoe. Very comfortable amd the quality of suede is very nice
Love these shoes the 3m is an amazing look and they feel so comfortable.
Shoe looked a bit used not brand new as expected which was disappointing
Fit is great, very comfortable. Ordered 2 sizes and larger fit best.
