FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
Yes, the 574 series is known for having a wider, more accommodating construction than standard narrow racing trainers.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No, you should not machine wash these trainers as the leather material may be damaged; hand cleaning with a damp cloth is recommended.
What does the 574 hybrid designation mean?
It means the shoe was originally designed to bridge the gap between a road running shoe and a trail shoe, offering a mix of grip and cushioning.
Is the leather real or synthetic?
This model features a leather upper for increased durability and a classic look.
Are these appropriate for school uniforms?
While the style is versatile, please check your specific school's dress code policy regarding footwear brands and colours.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming untied frequently
Consider using a double knot or replacing them with elasticated 'no-tie' laces for younger children.
Leather surface scuffing
Use a matching shoe cream or polish to touch up scuffs, or a leather conditioner to maintain the material's integrity.
Dirt buildup in soles
Use a stiff-bristled brush to remove dried mud or pebbles from the tread patterns on the bottom of the shoe.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your New Balance 574 trainers, consider these tips:
- Initial Fit: Ensure the child is wearing the appropriate thickness of socks for their activity level to properly judge the size.
- Lacing: Tighten the laces comfortably across the instep; do not overtighten, as this can restrict circulation.
- Cleaning: Since these trainers are made of leather, avoid machine washing. Instead, wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a dedicated leather cleaner or a mixture of mild soap and water.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can cause the leather to dry out or crack over time.
