FAQs
Are the New Balance 574 suitable for running?
The New Balance 574 is designed as a lifestyle and casual wear sneaker. While they offer good comfort for walking, they do not provide the specialized support and cushioning required for serious running.
How do I clean the off-white and grey suede material?
For suede, use a dry suede brush to remove loose dirt and restore the nap. For stains, a suede eraser is recommended. Avoid using water directly on the suede; if necessary, use a slightly damp cloth and allow to air dry completely.
What does ENCAP midsole technology mean?
ENCAP is New Balance's technology that uses a soft foam core with a durable polyurethane rim, providing cushioning and support for all-day wear.
Can I put these sneakers in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash New Balance 574s, especially those with suede, as this can damage the materials and affect their shape and appearance.
How durable is the rubber outsole?
The rubber outsole is designed for everyday wear and provides good traction. However, like all rubber soles, it will show wear over time with consistent use.
Are there other color options available?
Yes, the New Balance 574 model has been released in over 100 colorways, including various combinations of grey, white, and other shades.
What is the sizing like for the 574 model?
Sizing for the 574 is generally considered true to size for most wearers, but it's always recommended to consult a size chart or try them on if possible, as individual fit preferences can vary.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears discolored or matted.
Use a suede brush to gently restore the nap. For stubborn marks, try a suede eraser. Ensure you are not using water-based cleaners directly on the suede.
Laces are dirty and worn.
Remove the laces and hand wash them with mild soap and water. Replace laces if they are significantly frayed or damaged.
Soles are losing grip.
Clean the rubber outsole thoroughly to remove any embedded debris. If wear is significant, consider replacement options or a shoe repair service.
General dirt and scuff marks on the upper.
