FAQs

Are the New Balance 574 trainers waterproof?

The standard New Balance 574 trainers, made with suede and mesh, are not waterproof. They offer some water resistance but are not designed for heavy rain or submersion.

What is the best way to clean the suede material?

For suede, use a specialized suede brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, a suede cleaner applied sparingly with a soft cloth is recommended. Always allow suede to air dry away from direct heat.

Can I wear these for running?

The 574 is primarily designed as a lifestyle trainer with a hybrid road/trail capability. While suitable for walking and light activity, they are not recommended for intense running, as they lack the specialized cushioning and support of dedicated running shoes.

What does 'hybrid road/trail design' mean?

It means the shoe is engineered with features suitable for both paved surfaces (road) and less demanding off-road paths (trail), offering a balance of comfort, durability, and traction for mixed terrains.

How do I know if I have the right size?

Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe when standing. The fit should be snug but not constricting around the midfoot.

What is the difference between men's and women's 574 models?

While the core design is similar, men's and women's models typically differ in sizing, width, and sometimes colorway options to cater to distinct foot shapes and preferences.

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The 574 is built on a wider last than some previous New Balance silhouettes, making it generally accommodating for many foot widths. However, individuals with exceptionally wide feet might find specific wide-width versions more comfortable if available.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. If still tight, consider wearing thinner socks or using a shoe stretcher for a few days.

Suede looking dull or stained

Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stains, apply a suede-specific cleaner following product instructions and allow to dry naturally. Avoid harsh chemicals.

Soles losing grip

Clean the rubber outsole thoroughly with water and a brush to remove accumulated dirt or debris that may be reducing traction.

Discomfort during long wear

Ensure the shoes are properly laced to support the foot. Consider replacing the insoles with a more supportive aftermarket option if needed.
