FAQs
Are the New Balance 574 trainers good for running?
The 574s are designed as versatile trainers suitable for everyday wear and light athletic activities. While they offer comfort and support for walking and general fitness, they are not specialized running shoes for long-distance or high-intensity running.
What is the primary material used in the 574 trainers?
The 574 trainers primarily feature a combination of suede and mesh in their upper construction, providing both durability and breathability.
How do I determine my correct UK size?
Refer to the New Balance sizing chart, typically available on their website or product pages. Measure your foot length and compare it to the corresponding UK size. The provided size information (e.g., UK 4) should be used as a reference.
Can I wash my 574 trainers in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash the 574 trainers, as this can damage the suede, mesh, and sole construction. Hand washing or spot cleaning with appropriate cleaners is the preferred method.
What does 'hybrid road/trail design' mean for the 574?
This means the shoe is built with features suitable for both paved surfaces and less demanding off-road paths. It offers a stable base and durable construction that can handle varied terrain better than a dedicated road shoe.
How wide are the 574 trainers?
The 574s are built on a wider last compared to older narrow racing silhouettes, offering a more accommodating fit for many users. However, they are not specifically designated as wide-fit shoes unless stated otherwise.
What is the typical lifespan of New Balance 574 trainers?
With proper care and regular use, the 574 trainers are known for their durability. Their lifespan can vary greatly depending on the frequency of wear, the types of activities performed, and how well they are maintained, but they are built to be a long-lasting staple.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have the correct size. If slightly tight, wear them with thin socks for a short period. Consider using a shoe stretcher if the tightness persists.
Suede appears dirty or matted
Use a suede brush to gently restore the nap. For tougher marks, use a suede eraser or a dedicated suede cleaner.
Sole feels slippery
Check the tread for wear. If heavily worn, consider professional advice or replacement. For minor slipperiness on smooth surfaces, light scuffing of the sole might help.
Discoloration on suede or mesh
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or harsh chemicals. Clean gently with appropriate cleaners for the material type.
