FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
The New Balance 574 typically fits true to size, but because of the wider design, some users prefer their standard size for a relaxed fit.
Can I wear these for running?
While originally designed as a hybrid road-trail shoe, modern 574 models are primarily intended for casual, everyday wear rather than dedicated athletic running.
How do I maintain the suede?
Regularly brush the suede with a soft brush and apply a suede-specific water repellent spray to protect against light moisture and stains.
Is the 574 a unisex model?
Yes, the New Balance 574 is designed as a unisex trainer with a style and fit profile suitable for all genders.
Are they suitable for rainy weather?
Because they are made of suede, they are not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain to prevent damage to the material.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty cleaning suede surface
Use a specialized suede brush to gently lift dirt, and avoid using excess water which can stain the material.
Feeling too loose in the heel
Try using the extra eyelet at the top of the lacing system to create a 'runner's loop' for a more secure fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your 574 trainers remain in top condition, proper care is essential, especially given the suede exterior. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can degrade the suede texture and compromise the shoe's shape. Instead, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt or mud. For tougher stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and a clean cloth. When not in use, store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading. The trainers are compatible with standard lacing systems, allowing you to adjust the tension to match your preferred foot arch support.
