FAQs
Is the New Balance 574 Stray Rats suitable for running?
While the 574 was originally a runner, this collaborative version is designed primarily as a lifestyle sneaker for casual wear.
How do I care for the nylon material?
The nylon is best maintained by gently wiping it with a damp cloth and mild soap, then allowing it to air dry.
Does this shoe fit true to size?
Yes, the New Balance 574 series generally runs true to size for most adult feet.
Can I use a washing machine to clean these?
No, machine washing can damage the suede, leather, and adhesive bonds of the shoe. Stick to hand cleaning methods.
What is the purpose of the ENCAP midsole?
The ENCAP midsole provides a soft cushioning core with a tough polyurethane rim for maximum durability and support.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on the suede overlays
Use a specialized suede brush or an eraser to gently lift the dirt in the direction of the nap.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 574 Stray Rats stay in prime condition, follow these guidelines:
- Fitting: Ensure you select the correct UK size, as the 574 series typically runs true to size. If you prefer thicker socks, consider a half-size up.
- Cleaning: For the nylon sections, use a soft cloth with mild soapy water. For the suede overlays, use a dedicated suede brush to lift dirt. Avoid submerging the shoes in water.
- Protection: Apply a water and stain repellent spray suitable for suede and fabric before the first wear to protect against spills and environmental elements.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the green colorway from fading over time.
