FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While the 574 is derived from a performance heritage, it is categorized today as a lifestyle sneaker intended for daily wear rather than technical running.
How do I determine if the UK 8.5 size is right for me?
We recommend checking your current comfortable trainers for size consistency or measuring your foot length and comparing it against the New Balance size chart.
Is this shoe waterproof?
No, the New Balance 574 is not waterproof. It is best suited for dry weather conditions.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are typically removable if you require custom orthotics or wish to replace them with your own inserts.
How do I maintain the black color?
Keep them out of direct sunlight when not in use to prevent color fading and use a water-repellent spray if desired to protect against light moisture.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feeling too tight across the midfoot
Try adjusting the lacing pattern to be looser across the instep or ensure you are wearing appropriate socks for your foot width.
Accumulation of dust on the upper material
Use a specialized suede or fabric brush to gently lift dirt particles away from the nap of the material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 574 sneakers remain in top condition, follow these recommendations:
- Breaking In: New shoes may feel slightly stiff initially; wear them for shorter durations for the first few days to allow the materials to contour to your feet.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material fading.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and water solution on a cloth, but avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh detergents.
- Compatibility: These shoes pair well with denim, chinos, and athletic joggers, making them a highly compatible choice for men's casual fashion.
