FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The New Balance 574 U574OF2 are designed as casual trainers for everyday wear. While they offer comfort and some durability, they are not specifically engineered for high-impact running activities and may lack the specialized support and cushioning required.
How do I clean the cream white leather?
Gently wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For stains, use a specialized leather cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first. Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally.
What is the best way to store these sneakers?
Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape. Avoid storing them in plastic bags, as this can trap moisture.
Are these shoes waterproof?
These trainers are made of leather and are not considered waterproof. They offer some resistance to light moisture, but prolonged exposure to heavy rain may cause damage or discomfort.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the leather, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe.

Troubleshooting
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try wearing them for a few days to allow them to break in. Ensure laces are tied correctly and not too tight.
Leather appears dry or stiff
Apply a leather conditioner specifically designed for footwear. Follow the product instructions carefully and allow it to absorb fully.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
While designed to be non-slip, some very smooth or wet surfaces can still pose a risk. Ensure the sole is clean, as debris can affect grip.
