FAQs
What is the primary material of the upper?
The New Balance Stray Rats x 574 features a durable nylon upper.
Does this shoe provide good arch support?
Yes, the integration of the ENCAP midsole provides a stable, cushioned platform with good arch support.
Is this a unisex model?
While listed with specific sizes, the 574 series is widely recognized as a versatile, unisex-appropriate silhouette.
Can I use these for heavy running?
These are designed as lifestyle and casual trainers; while they use retro runner technology, they are best suited for walking and daily activities rather than long-distance athletic performance.
How do I identify the collaboration branding?
Look for the Stray Rats logos on the tongue tag, the heel tab, and the interior sockliner.
Are there other versions of this shoe?
Yes, this series comes in various sizes and, in some cases, different material configurations like suede or leather.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the toe box
This is a natural result of walking in nylon-based footwear; using a shoe tree when not in use can help maintain the shape.
Stubborn surface stains
Dab gently with a mixture of mild soap and lukewarm water using a microfibre cloth, then pat dry.
Soles feeling stiff
The ENCAP technology may require a short 'break-in' period of 2-3 days of regular wear to soften.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These sneakers arrive ready for wear out of the box. To maintain their appearance, keep the nylon uppers free from deep mud or moisture. For routine cleaning, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dust and dirt. Avoid machine washing or using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can degrade the collaborative branding on the tongue and heel. If the shoes become wet, air dry them naturally away from direct heat sources to preserve the integrity of the materials.
