FAQs
Are the New Balance 574 trainers waterproof?
No, the New Balance 574 trainers are not inherently waterproof. The suede and textile materials can absorb moisture. It is recommended to use a water-repellent spray suitable for suede to provide some protection against light rain and splashes.
Can I wear these trainers for running?
The 574s are designed as versatile trainers for everyday wear and light activities. While they offer good cushioning, they are not specialized running shoes and may not provide the necessary support or technical features for serious or long-distance running.
How do I clean the suede parts of the trainers?
Gently brush the suede with a suede brush to remove dust and dirt. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner or a pencil eraser for minor marks. Avoid soaking the shoes in water.
What is the main difference between the 574 and other New Balance models?
The 574 is celebrated for its unassuming versatility and classic design, built as a reliable all-rounder rather than a specialized performance shoe. Many other New Balance models focus on specific athletic performance categories like running, court sports, or hiking.
Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?
The 574 was originally built on a wider last than previous narrow racing silhouettes, offering a more accommodating fit. However, they are not specifically designed as wide-fit shoes unless indicated by specific sizing options.
How should I store my New Balance 574 trainers?
Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. It's best to keep them in a shoe bag or their original box to protect them from dust and damage. Ensure they are clean and dry before storing for long periods.
Troubleshooting
Suede material looks dirty or stained
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, apply a small amount of specialized suede cleaner with a cloth, then brush. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first. Allow to air dry completely.
Laces are worn or damaged
Replace laces with standard trainer laces. Ensure the new laces are of a similar length for a proper fit.
Sole feels less cushioned over time
While the EVA and polyurethane sole is durable, cushioning may naturally decrease with extensive use. Ensure the insoles are clean and dry. Consider replacing the insoles for added comfort if needed.
Shoes feel tight after initial wear
Leather and suede can take a short time to mold to your foot. Wear them for short periods initially. If they remain uncomfortably tight, ensure you have the correct size, as they offer limited stretch.
