FAQs
Are the New Balance 574 trainers waterproof?
No, the 574 trainers are not designed to be waterproof. They are made from suede and mesh, which are not inherently water-resistant. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions.
How do I determine my correct size?
Refer to the New Balance size chart available online. Measure your foot length and compare it to the chart. The 574 is known for its generally accommodating fit, but checking the chart is the best way to ensure accuracy.
Can I put these trainers in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash the New Balance 574 trainers. Machine washing can damage the suede, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe. Spot clean with appropriate cleaners instead.
What is the primary material used in the 574 trainers?
The primary upper material for this variant is suede, often combined with mesh for breathability.
Are these suitable for running?
While the 574 has a hybrid road/trail design, it is primarily considered a lifestyle or casual trainer. For serious running, dedicated running shoes offering specialized support and cushioning are recommended.
What does 'wider last' mean for comfort?
A wider last provides more space in the forefoot and toe box, leading to a more comfortable fit, especially for individuals whose feet tend to spread or are naturally wider.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained.
Use a suede eraser for dry marks or a dedicated suede cleaner for tougher stains. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first. Allow to air dry completely.
Shoes feel too tight.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. If the shoes are new, wearing them for short periods can help them mold to your feet. Consider using thicker socks for initial wear to gently stretch them.
Sole or stitching shows signs of wear.
For minor wear, consult a cobbler for repair options. Regular cleaning and proper drying will help extend the lifespan of the sole and stitching.
