FAQs
Are the New Balance 574 shoes waterproof?
No, they are primarily made of suede and are not designed for wet or rainy conditions.
Can I use these for long-distance running?
While durable, the 574 is intended as a lifestyle and hybrid shoe, not a dedicated high-performance marathon runner.
How do I clean suede trainers?
Use a dry brush for debris and a specialized suede eraser or cleaner for stains. Never put them in a washing machine.
Is the sizing true to size?
The 574 fits standard for most people, but the wider last may feel more spacious than narrow, performance-focused shoes.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
Yes, the 574 is well-regarded for its wider last, which provides more room than many other classic sneaker silhouettes.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or matted
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently restore the nap of the material in a circular motion.
Shoes feel too loose
Try using the extra eyelets at the top of the lacing system to create a 'runner's loop' or 'heel lock' for a more secure fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
As a lifestyle trainer, the New Balance 574 requires no specific technical setup. To ensure the best fit, verify your UK size against the standard 574 last, noting that it fits more generously than precision running models. Because the upper is primarily constructed from suede, proper care is essential: use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dust and dirt after use. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes in water, as this can damage the suede texture and compromise the glue bonds. For spills, use a specialized suede cleaner and allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
