FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, it is recommended to clean the leather upper with a damp cloth only. Machine washing can damage the structure and the leather material.
Is the leather upper real leather?
Yes, these trainers feature a durable leather upper designed for longevity.
Do these shoes run narrow or wide?
They are built on a wider last than many narrow racing-style sneakers, offering a more generous fit for growing feet.
Can I replace the Hook & Loop straps if they wear out?
The straps are integrated into the shoe design. If the stickiness fails, cleaning the Velcro hooks is usually the most effective fix.
Are these suitable for sports?
They are excellent for everyday wear and general outdoor play, though they are not specifically specialized for high-intensity court sports.
Troubleshooting
Hook & Loop straps are not sticking securely
Check for debris, lint, or grass caught in the Velcro fibers and use a small brush or tweezers to clear them out.
Shoes are scuffing easily
Apply a leather-safe conditioner or a shoe polish matching the black color to buff out light scuffs and protect the material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers require no specific setup; simply adjust the Hook & Loop straps until they feel snug but not restrictive across the instep. For sizing, the New Balance 574 tends to fit true to size, but since they are built on a wider last, they accommodate wider feet well. To care for the leather upper, wipe away surface dirt with a soft, damp cloth after use. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can degrade the leather. If the shoes get wet, air dry them naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the leather from cracking.
