FAQs
Are the New Balance 574 suitable for running?
The New Balance 574 trainers are designed for casual wear and everyday comfort. They feature cushioning for walking and daily activities but are not specialized performance running shoes. For running, consider footwear specifically designed for that purpose.
How do I determine my correct size?
Refer to the New Balance size chart, which typically includes measurements for foot length in inches and centimeters, corresponding to UK, US, and EU sizing. Measuring your foot length accurately is recommended for the best fit.
Can I wash my New Balance 574 trainers in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash your New Balance 574 trainers, especially those with suede uppers. Machine washing can damage the materials, affect the cushioning, and alter the shoe's shape. Spot cleaning with a suede brush and appropriate cleaners is the preferred method.
How long does the ENCAP midsole cushioning last?
The ENCAP midsole is designed for durability and sustained support. With regular wear and proper care, it should maintain its cushioning properties for the lifespan of the shoe, typically several hundred miles of walking or a couple of years of moderate use.
What does 'ENCAP' stand for in the midsole cushioning?
ENCAP stands for 'Encapsulated' cushioning. It refers to a core of lightweight EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate) foam encapsulated within a tougher, supportive polyurethane (PU) rim. This combination provides both softness and durability.
Are these trainers waterproof?
The New Balance 574 trainers are not inherently waterproof. The suede and textile materials offer some water resistance, but they are not designed for heavy rain or wet conditions. Using a suede protector spray can enhance their resistance to water and stains.
Troubleshooting
Suede material looks dirty or stained.
Use a suede brush to gently remove dry dirt. For stubborn stains, apply a small amount of suede cleaner with a damp cloth, working from the outside of the stain inward. Allow to air dry completely and brush again to restore the nap.
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. If the shoes are new, they may need a short break-in period. Wearing them with appropriate socks for a few hours each day can help them mold to your feet.
Laces are worn or damaged.
Replace laces with new ones of a similar length and material. You can find replacement laces at most shoe stores or online retailers.
