FAQs
Are the New Balance 574 trainers suitable for running?
While the 574 has roots in hybrid design, they are primarily intended as lifestyle or casual trainers. For dedicated running, specialized running shoes with advanced cushioning and support are recommended.
How do I determine my correct UK size?
Refer to the New Balance sizing chart, typically available on their website or from retailers. Measure your foot length and compare it to the provided measurements for UK sizes.
Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?
The suede and mesh materials are not inherently waterproof. While they can handle light moisture, prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended. Using a suede protector spray can offer some water resistance.
What is the main difference between the 574 and other New Balance models?
The 574 is recognized for its classic, versatile design and comfort, making it an everyday staple. Other models might focus on specific performance aspects like enhanced cushioning, stability for running, or minimalist design.
How often should I clean my 574 trainers?
Clean your trainers as needed, depending on usage and exposure to dirt. Regular brushing of the suede can help maintain its appearance between deeper cleanings.
Do these trainers come in different widths?
The standard 574 model typically comes in a medium width. Availability of wider or narrower options may vary by retailer and specific product release.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. If slightly tight, wearing them with thin socks for a short period can help them mold to your feet. For significant tightness, consider exchanging for a larger size.
Suede material looks dirty or matted
Use a suede brush to restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, apply a specialized suede cleaner according to product instructions.
Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces
Ensure the sole is clean and free from debris. If the issue persists, the tread may be worn down, and it might be time to consider replacement.
Discoloration on suede
Suede can be sensitive to moisture and direct sunlight. Apply a suede protector spray to prevent future discoloration. For existing marks, consult a suede cleaning guide or professional cleaner.

Care:
- Cleaning Suede: For suede areas, use a suede brush to remove loose dirt. For tougher stains, use a suede cleaner specifically designed for the material, following the product's instructions. Avoid soaking the suede.
- Cleaning Mesh: Mesh panels can typically be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. Gently scrub away dirt and rinse with a clean, damp cloth.
- Laces: Remove laces before cleaning and wash them separately. They can be hand-washed with soap and water.
- Drying: Always air dry the trainers. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage the materials and affect the shoe's shape. Stuffing them with paper can help maintain their form while drying.
- Protection: Consider using a suede protector spray to help repel water and stains, especially in wet or unpredictable weather conditions.
