FAQs
Are the New Balance 574 trainers suitable for running?
The 574 features a hybrid road/trail design and offers good cushioning, making them suitable for casual walking and light jogging. However, they are not specialized running shoes and may lack the advanced support and shock absorption required for serious training.
How do I clean the suede and mesh parts of the trainers?
Use a soft brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, use a suede cleaner and a slightly damp cloth, and allow to air dry. Avoid machine washing or harsh chemicals.
What does 'ENCAP midsole technology' mean?
ENCAP refers to New Balance's midsole technology that uses a core of soft cushioning foam surrounded by a durable polyurethane rim. This provides support and maximum durability.
Are these trainers true to size?
The 574 typically runs true to size for a unisex fit. However, due to the wider last, individuals with very narrow feet might consider trying them on or using thicker socks/insoles for a snugger fit.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the suede and mesh offer some protection, these trainers are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain may saturate the materials. It is advisable to treat them with a water-repellent spray for added protection.
What is the main difference between the 574 and other New Balance models?
The 574 is renowned for its unpretentious versatility and iconic, classic design, built for comfort and durability rather than specific high-performance athletic features. Many other models are engineered for specialized sports like running or training.
What is the material composition of the 574 trainers?
The upper is typically made from a combination of suede and mesh, offering a balance of durability and breathability. The midsole uses ENCAP technology, and the outsole is made of rubber for traction.
Troubleshooting
Sizing feels incorrect
Consult the New Balance size guide for accurate measurements. Consider the unisex fit and the wider last; if feet are narrow, try adding an insole or exploring other New Balance models.
Suede material looks dirty or stained
Use a dedicated suede cleaner and a soft brush to gently remove dirt and stains. Test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first. For stubborn stains, professional cleaning might be necessary.
Laces are worn or broken
Replace laces with standard shoelaces of a similar length and color. Ensure they are threaded correctly through the eyelets.
Sole feels less cushioned over time
While the ENCAP midsole is durable, cushioning can reduce with extensive wear. Consider using additional insoles for enhanced comfort or evaluate if the shoes have reached the end of their lifespan.
