FAQs

Are the New Balance 574 trainers waterproof?

No, the suede and mesh materials are not inherently waterproof. They are designed for breathability and comfort in dry conditions. For wet weather, consider using a water-repellent spray suitable for suede.

Can I wear these for running?

The New Balance 574 trainers are designed for casual wear and general comfort. They are not optimized for high-impact running and lack the specialized support and cushioning found in dedicated running shoes.

How do I clean the ENCAP midsole?

The ENCAP midsole can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. Wipe gently to remove dirt and scuffs, then wipe with a clean damp cloth to remove soap residue. Allow to air dry.

What is the primary material of the upper?

The upper is typically a combination of suede and mesh, offering a blend of durability, style, and breathability.

Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?

New Balance often offers various width options for their shoes. While this guide refers to a standard fit, check for specific width availability (e.g., 'Wide' or '2E') when purchasing if you require a wider fit.

What is the main benefit of the ENCAP technology?

ENCAP technology combines a soft foam midsole with a durable polyurethane rim to provide support and maximum durability.

How should I store my New Balance 574 trainers?

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and prevent creasing when not in use.

Troubleshooting

Suede appearing matted or dirty

Use a suede brush to restore the nap of the suede. For stubborn marks, use a dedicated suede cleaner and follow product instructions carefully.

Unusual smell

Remove the insoles and air them out separately. Use a shoe deodorizer or a mixture of baking soda and water applied lightly to the insoles. Ensure shoes are fully dry before wearing.

Discomfort after prolonged wear

Ensure you have the correct size and fit. Consider using aftermarket insoles for additional arch support or cushioning if needed.

Creasing on the toe box

This is a natural occurrence with wear. To minimize it, ensure the shoes fit correctly and consider using shoe trees when not in use to help maintain shape.
