FAQs
Are the New Balance 574 trainers waterproof?
The New Balance 574 trainers are not fully waterproof. While the suede and mesh offer some protection against light moisture, they are not designed for heavy rain or submersion in water.
What is the best way to clean the suede material?
For suede, it's best to use a dry suede brush or a suede eraser to remove dirt. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and always follow the product's instructions. Avoid getting the suede excessively wet.
Are these trainers suitable for running or intense sports?
The 574 is designed as a versatile lifestyle trainer for everyday wear and light activities. It is not engineered for high-impact sports or professional running, which require specialized athletic footwear.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is a comfortable amount of space at the front of the shoe (about a thumb's width). The heel should feel secure without slipping. Trying them on at the end of the day, when feet are slightly larger, can provide a more accurate fit.
What does the 'hybrid road/trail' design mean?
This refers to the shoe's construction, which was originally intended to provide comfort and durability for both paved surfaces (road) and less even terrain (trail), offering a balanced performance for varied environments.
Can I put these trainers in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to put the New Balance 574 trainers in a washing machine, especially due to the suede material, as this can damage the shoe's structure and appearance.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or scuffed
Use a suede brush or eraser for light cleaning. For tougher marks, use a dedicated suede cleaner following product instructions. Avoid water saturation.
General discomfort or tightness
Ensure you have the correct size. The 574 has a wider last, but if still tight, try wearing with thinner socks. Allow time for the shoes to break in.
Shoe smells after wear
Remove insoles and air them out separately. Use a shoe deodorizer spray or insert. Store in a well-ventilated area.
Laces are frayed or damaged
Replace the laces with new ones of a similar length and material. New Balance offers replacement laces, or any standard shoelaces will suffice.
