FAQs
Are the New Balance 574 trainers suitable for running?
While the 574 has a hybrid road/trail design, it is primarily intended as a lifestyle and casual wear shoe, not for high-performance running. It offers comfort for everyday activities but lacks specialized cushioning and support for intense athletic training.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by New Balance. These trainers are generally true to size, but personal preference for fit (snug vs. roomy) may influence your choice. The product information lists UK sizes.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
The suede material is not inherently waterproof. While they can handle light moisture, prolonged exposure to rain or wet conditions is not recommended and may damage the suede. Consider using a suede protector spray for added resistance.
What does 'unassuming, unpretentious versatility' mean for the 574?
It means the shoe was designed to be a reliable all-rounder, comfortable and functional for many different everyday situations, rather than excelling at one specific, highly technical task. It's a dependable choice for diverse needs.
How do I clean mud off the suede?
Allow the mud to dry completely. Once dry, use a suede brush to gently brush away the dried mud. For more stubborn marks, use a specialized suede cleaner following product instructions.
What is the primary material used in the 574 trainers?
The primary material for the upper is suede, contributing to its classic look and durable nature.
Troubleshooting
Slight stiffness upon first wear
Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in and conform to your foot shape. Ensure you have the correct size.
Suede material looks dull or dirty
Use a dedicated suede brush to restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, consult specific suede cleaning guides.
Laces become worn or frayed
Replace laces with a new pair of similar length and material to maintain the shoe's appearance.
