FAQs
What is the primary intended use for the New Balance 574?
The New Balance 574 is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual wear sneaker, offering comfort and style for everyday activities.
How do I clean the suede parts of the shoe?
Use a dry suede brush to remove loose dirt. For tougher stains, a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner can be used, always following the product's instructions and testing on an inconspicuous area first.
Are these shoes suitable for running or athletic performance?
While the ENCAP midsole offers cushioning, the 574 is not designed for high-performance athletic activities like running. It is best suited for walking and casual wear.
What does ENCAP midsole technology do?
ENCAP is a core New Balance technology that combines a soft foam midsole with a durable polyurethane rim, providing all-day support and maximum durability.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
The mesh panels are not waterproof, so they are not ideal for heavy rain. While the suede offers some resistance, it's best to avoid wearing them in very wet conditions. Applying a water-repellent spray can offer some protection.
How does the sizing run for the New Balance 574?
The New Balance 574 generally runs true to size. However, individual fit can vary. It's recommended to consult New Balance's official size chart and consider trying them on if possible.
What is the difference between this 'Off White Grey' colorway and other 574 models?
The 'Off White Grey' colorway features a specific combination of off-white and grey hues on the mesh and suede upper, with white laces and branding. Other 574 models will vary in their material composition and color schemes.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring not to overtighten. If still tight, consider wearing thinner socks or breaking them in with shorter durations of wear.
Suede material looks dull or dirty
Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaning product, following the product's instructions.
Mesh panels appear wet after light rain
Allow the shoes to air dry completely. Consider applying a water-repellent spray designed for footwear to the mesh areas for added protection.
Traction feels poor on certain surfaces
Ensure the outsole is clean and free from debris. The rubber outsole provides grip on most common surfaces, but may perform differently on very slick or uneven terrain.
