FAQs
Are these sneakers unisex?
While listed for males, the 574 silhouette is widely considered unisex; ensure you convert your size correctly if selecting based on male sizing standards.
What is the benefit of the ENCAP technology?
ENCAP combines a soft cushioning core with a tough polyurethane rim to provide maximum support and durability.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No. Machine washing can ruin the suede material and degrade the adhesives used in the construction.
How do I identify a genuine pair of Stray Rats 574s?
Look for the specific Stray Rats branding on the heel tab, sockliner, and tongue tag, and verify the MPN matches the production documentation.
Do these fit true to size?
Yes, they generally fit consistent with standard New Balance 574 sizing.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears matted or dusty
Use a specialized suede brush to restore the nap of the material by brushing in one direction.
Minor scuffing on the upper
Gently rub a suede eraser over the scuffed area, then brush the area to lift the suede fibers.
ENCAP midsole feels dirty
Wipe the EVA/Polyurethane foam rim with a clean, damp cloth and mild soap solution; avoid soaking the suede upper.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these trainers feature a premium suede upper, it is highly recommended to apply a water-repellent spray specifically formulated for suede before initial wear to protect against light rain and incidental spills. For daily care, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dust or dirt following any outdoor use. If the shoe becomes damp, allow it to air-dry naturally away from direct heat sources, which can cause the suede to shrink or harden. Compatibility is straightforward; these shoes adhere to standard UK sizing, so users familiar with the 574 line can confidently select their regular size.
