FAQs
Are the New Balance 574 trainers waterproof?
The 574 trainers are water-resistant to some degree due to their materials, but they are not fully waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain or submersion can lead to water ingress.
Can I wear these for running?
The 574 is designed as a lifestyle and casual trainer. While suitable for light jogging or walking, they do not offer the specialized support and cushioning required for serious or long-distance running.
How do I clean the mesh parts of the shoe?
Gently clean the mesh with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Rinse with a clean damp cloth and allow to air dry. Avoid harsh scrubbing.
What is the primary material used in the 574 trainers?
The 574 trainers typically feature a combination of suede and mesh in the upper construction, providing durability and breathability.
Is this shoe suitable for wide feet?
The 574 is built on a wider last compared to previous narrow racing silhouettes, making it generally more accommodating for a variety of foot widths. However, individual fit can vary.
How should I store my 574 trainers when not in use?
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.
What makes the 574 an 'iconic' shoe?
The 574 achieved iconic status through its unpretentious versatility and reliability. It was designed to be a good all-around shoe rather than a technological showcase, making it a widely adopted and enduring style.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have the correct size. If slightly tight, wearing them with medium-thickness socks for a short period can help them mold to your foot. Avoid prolonged wear until comfortable.
Suede looks dull or dirty
Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For tougher stains, apply a small amount of specialized suede cleaner with a damp cloth and allow to air dry, then brush again.
Laces fraying or breaking
Replace laces with a new pair of standard athletic shoe laces. Ensure the length is appropriate for the shoe's eyelets.
Discoloration on the midsole
Clean the midsole with a damp cloth and mild soap. For yellowing, a specialized midsole cleaner might be required, but test on an inconspicuous area first.
