FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running sports?
While they are rugged and comfortable, the 574 is a lifestyle trainer rather than a high-performance athletic shoe. They are perfect for general play but not specifically designed for competitive sports.
Can I wash these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the leather and the structure of the shoe. Stick to manual surface cleaning.
How do I find the right size for my child?
New Balance 574s are built on a wider last, but it is recommended to measure your child's foot length and compare it to the standard UK sizing guide for the most accurate fit.
Is the leather genuine?
Yes, these models are constructed with leather, providing the durability and aesthetic the 574 series is known for.
Are these shoes water-resistant?
While leather provides some natural protection, they are not waterproof. We recommend using a leather-safe water repellent spray if the shoes will be worn in damp conditions.
Troubleshooting
Leather surface appearing dull
Apply a small amount of leather conditioner or polish appropriate for the color to restore the finish.
Stubborn stains on the leather
Use a specialized leather cleaner or a mild soap-water mixture with a soft-bristled brush, testing on a small, inconspicuous area first.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your New Balance 574 trainers, keep them away from direct heat sources when drying. For daily care, wipe the leather surface with a soft, damp cloth to remove loose dirt and debris. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes in water, as this can degrade the leather and internal adhesives. If the shoes become wet, stuff them with paper towels to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry at room temperature in a well-ventilated area.
