FAQs
Do these trainers run true to size?
The product description notes that this model runs small, so it is often recommended to consider ordering up from your normal size for a more comfortable fit.
What materials are used in the New Balance 574 trainers?
These trainers feature a suede upper, with the vamp, collar, and tongue made from 100% recycled polyester. The midsole foam contains approximately 3% bio-based content, and the rubber outsole includes 5% recycled rubber.
Are these suitable for running or intense sports?
The New Balance 574 trainers are designed primarily for everyday wear and offer comfort and support for casual activities. They are not specifically engineered for high-impact sports or performance running.
How should I clean the suede and recycled mesh?
For suede, use a suede brush for dry dirt and specific suede cleaners for stains. The recycled polyester mesh can be gently wiped with a damp cloth and mild soap. Always air dry.
What is the benefit of ENCAP midsole cushioning?
ENCAP midsole cushioning combines soft foam with a durable polyurethane rim. This provides a supportive feel and contributes to all-day comfort and stability.
Are these trainers unisex?
While this specific listing is for men's sizing (UK 8.5), the New Balance 574 series is often available in both men's and women's sizing and can be considered a versatile style for anyone.
What does 'bio-based content' mean for the midsole foam?
It means that a small percentage of the midsole foam is derived from renewable resources, helping to reduce the product's overall carbon footprint compared to entirely petroleum-based materials.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or small.
Based on product information, these trainers may run small. Consider ordering a half or full size up. If already purchased, ensure the laces are loosened and wear them for short periods to break them in, or explore exchange options.
Suede material getting dirty or stained.
Use a specialized suede brush for dry dirt. For stains, test a mild suede cleaner or a slightly damp cloth on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid using water excessively on suede.
Lack of arch support for prolonged walking.
While the ENCAP midsole provides all-day support, individuals requiring significant arch support might consider using aftermarket insoles. Ensure any added insoles do not make the shoe too tight.
Tread wearing down quickly.
Ensure you are using the shoes for their intended purpose (everyday wear, light activity) and not for strenuous athletic activities that can cause excessive wear on the rubber outsole.
