FAQs
Are the New Balance 574s true to size?
Yes, they generally fit true to standard UK sizing, but if you prefer extra room for thicker socks, some users prefer a half-size up.
Can I use these for running?
These are classified as casual lifestyle trainers. While comfortable for walking, they do not provide the technical support required for running.
How do I clean the suede elements?
Use a suede-specific brush and cleaning kit to lift dirt; avoid soaking suede in water.
Is the insole removable?
Yes, the standard insole can be removed if you need to insert custom orthotics.
What is the primary material used?
The 574 typically uses a combination of suede and mesh for a balance of durability and breathability.
Are these shoes water-resistant?
They are not waterproof; it is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain to protect the materials.
Troubleshooting
Trainer feels slightly tight upon first wear
Wear thinner socks for the first few days to allow the upper materials to stretch and conform to your foot.
Outsole collecting debris
Use a stiff-bristled brush to gently dislodge pebbles or dirt trapped in the tread pattern after walks.
Minor scuffs on the upper
Use a specialized suede or fabric eraser to gently buff out minor marks from the exterior material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 574s maintain their appearance and structure, keep the following guidelines in mind:
- Break-in Period: While comfortable out of the box, allow a few days for the materials to naturally conform to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt from the surface. For deeper stains, use a damp cloth with mild soap; avoid machine washing or drying, as this can degrade the adhesives and material integrity.
- Storage: Keep your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading of the black and grey components.
- Compatibility: These are designed for standard adult foot sizes; consider using third-party orthotics if you require specific arch support beyond the factory provided footbed.
