FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, machine washing can damage the leather and the adhesives used in construction. Always spot clean by hand.
Can these be used for sports like soccer?
While durable, the 574 is a lifestyle trainer and does not offer the specialized grip or protective features required for organized sports.
Does the wider fit mean I should size down?
It is generally recommended to stick to your child's standard measured size to ensure room for growth.
What is the best way to remove salt or snow stains?
Use a mixture of mild soap and water to gently wipe the area, then wipe away any soap residue with a clean damp cloth.
Is the leather water-resistant?
The leather offers some protection against light moisture, but it is not waterproof and should be treated with a leather protectant spray.
Troubleshooting
Leather looks dull or scuffed
Use a matching leather polish or cream to buff out minor scuffs and restore the original sheen.
Laces coming undone frequently
Replace standard laces with elastic speed laces for a secure fit that stays put during active play.
Interior smells after heavy use
Remove the insoles and allow them to air out; use an odor-neutralizing spray designed for footwear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting the most out of your New Balance 574 trainers starts with a proper fit. Ensure there is roughly a thumb's width of space between the longest toe and the front of the shoe to allow for natural growth and movement.
Care Instructions:
- Routine Cleaning: Wipe away loose dirt or mud with a soft, dry brush or a slightly damp cloth.
- Leather Maintenance: Periodically use a leather conditioner to prevent the material from cracking or drying out.
- Moisture Protection: If the shoes become soaked, let them air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the leather.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place when not in use to maintain the integrity of the foam cushioning.
