FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?
While durable and versatile, the 574 is designed as a lifestyle and hybrid-use shoe rather than a dedicated long-distance performance racing trainer.
How does the fit compare to standard narrow racing shoes?
The 574 features a wider last, which generally provides more room in the toe box and forefoot compared to narrow, performance-oriented silhouettes.
Can I wear these on trails?
Yes, they were designed as a road-trail hybrid, making them suitable for light trail walking and gravel paths.
Are these trainers machine washable?
No, machine washing can damage the materials and bonding agents. We recommend hand cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap.
What is the primary material used?
The 574 series utilizes a variety of high-quality materials depending on the specific release, including options featuring durable linen or suede components.
Troubleshooting
Foot feels slightly loose inside the shoe
Try using a different lacing technique, such as the 'heel lock' method, to secure the ankle area more firmly.
Visible dirt accumulation on the upper material
Use a specialized suede or fabric cleaner depending on the specific material composition, or lightly dab with a damp cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 574 trainers remain in top condition, follow these care guidelines:
- Sizing: These are built on a wider last than traditional racing trainers. We recommend ensuring your standard UK size aligns with the provided 2.5 to 8 sizing range to ensure a proper fit.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dirt after use on trails or dusty paths. For stubborn spots, use a damp cloth with mild soap.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation.
- Maintenance: Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage the structural integrity and adhesives of the shoe.
