FAQs
Is the New Balance 574 suitable for running?
No, the 574 is designed as a lifestyle and casual sneaker. It does not contain the specialized stability or motion control features required for long-distance running.
How do I ensure I have the right size?
The UK 9.5 size corresponds to the standard sizing for this model. It is best to try them on in the afternoon when your feet are at their largest to ensure a proper fit.
Are these sneakers machine washable?
It is not recommended to machine wash your New Balance 574s, as this can damage the structural integrity and the materials used in the upper.
What is the secondary color on these shoes?
While the primary color is black, some variants within the 574 series incorporate secondary grey accents to complement the design.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are typically removable, allowing you to replace them with custom orthotics or third-party insoles if needed.
Troubleshooting
Sneakers feel too tight upon initial wear
Loosen the laces to allow for more volume in the midfoot, or wear them indoors for a few hours to allow the materials to settle and conform to your foot shape.
Accumulated dirt on the sole
Use a soft-bristled brush with mild soap and water to scrub the rubber outsole, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are lifestyle sneakers, no complex setup is required; simply ensure you have the correct UK 9.5 sizing for your foot. To maintain the appearance of the black upper, regularly wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and dirt. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as these may discolor or damage the fabric materials. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, keeping them away from direct heat sources to prevent material warping or adhesive breakdown.
