FAQs
Are New Balance 574 trainers true to size?
Yes, they generally fit true to standard adult UK sizing, but keep in mind that the leather construction may feel snug at first.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No, it is not recommended to machine wash leather shoes as this can damage the material and the shoe's structure.
Are these shoes suitable for high-impact sports?
The 574 is a lifestyle trainer designed for casual daily use; they are not intended for high-impact sports or specialized training.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The primary material is premium leather, which offers durability and a structured look.
Is the sole non-slip?
The outsoles are designed with a standard tread pattern that offers good traction on typical urban surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight across the midfoot
Adjust the lacing pattern to provide more volume or use a thinner sock during the initial break-in phase.
Difficulty removing scuff marks from the leather
Use a specialized leather cleaner or a gentle mixture of mild soap and water applied with a soft microfiber cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 574 trainers last, follow these guidelines:
- Breaking In: New leather shoes can be stiff. Wear them for short durations indoors initially to allow the material to conform to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush or a damp cloth to remove surface dirt from the leather. Avoid using harsh chemicals or submerging them in water.
- Storage: Keep your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from cracking or fading.
- Compatibility: The neutral grey and white scheme makes these compatible with jeans, chinos, or athletic wear, serving as a functional staple in any wardrobe.
