Troubleshooting
Trainers feel too tight or loose.
Adjust the lace tension. For a tighter fit, pull each section of the laces snug starting from the toe. For a looser fit, loosen the laces evenly. Ensure you're wearing appropriate socks for the best fit.
Trainer material (mesh/textile) appears dirty.
Gently wipe the affected areas with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a small amount of mild soap diluted in water and a soft brush, then wipe clean with a separate damp cloth and air dry away from direct heat.
Unpleasant odor develops inside the trainers.
After each wear, allow trainers to air out in a well-ventilated area. Remove insoles if possible to air them separately. You can also use shoe deodorizers, cedar inserts, or sprinkle a small amount of baking soda inside (remove before next wear).
Sole grip seems reduced.
Clean the rubber soles thoroughly to remove any embedded dirt, mud, or small stones that might be compromising traction. Use a brush and water, then allow to dry completely.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- All-day Comfort: Plush cushioning provides comfort for extended wear.
- Good Ventilation: Mesh panels help keep feet cool.
- Stylish and Versatile: Classic black design fits various outfits and activities.
- Secure Fit: Lace-up closure ensures the trainers stay firmly on foot.

Cons
- Textile Care: Uppers are primarily textile, requiring specific cleaning to maintain appearance.
- Flat Heel: While comfortable, the flat heel might not provide extensive arch support for certain intensive athletic activities.
- Breathability Limits: While breathable, mesh can be less water-resistant than other materials in wet conditions.
Setup
Using your New Balance 578 Trainers is straightforward:
- Lace Adjustment: Ensure laces are threaded correctly through all eyelets.
- Fit Customization: Loosen laces, slide foot into the trainer, and then tighten laces from the bottom upwards until the fit is snug but not constricting. Double-knot for extra security if needed.
- Break-in Period: While comfortable from the start, a short break-in period may further conform the trainers to the wearer's foot.
Compatibility

- Activity: Ideal for casual everyday wear, school activities, and physical education (PE).
- Wardrobe: Their classic black color makes them compatible with a wide range of clothing styles.
Care
To ensure longevity and maintain the appearance of your New Balance 578 Trainers, follow these care instructions:
- General Cleaning: For light dirt, wipe the textile and other material uppers with a soft, damp cloth.
- Deeper Clean: For stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution mixed with water. Gently scrub affected areas with a soft brush or cloth, being careful not to saturate the material.
- Rinsing: Wipe away soap residue with a clean, damp cloth.
- Drying: Allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources (like radiators or tumble dryers) as this can damage materials.
- Sole Cleaning: Clean the rubber sole with a brush and water to remove dirt and maintain traction.
- Odor Control: To prevent odors, air out the trainers regularly after use. Consider using shoe deodorizers or baking soda packets.
- Avoid Submerging: Do not machine wash or submerge the entire trainer in water, as this can damage cushioning and bonding agents.
