FAQs
Are the New Balance 574 trainers suitable for running?
The 574 is designed as a lifestyle and casual trainer, not for high-performance running. While comfortable for walking and everyday activities, they lack the specialized cushioning and support of dedicated running shoes.
How should I clean the suede parts of the trainers?
Use a soft suede brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner can be used, always testing on a small, hidden area first.
What does the 'hybrid design' mean for the 574?
It refers to the shoe's construction, which takes inspiration from both road running shoes and trail shoes, offering a versatile look and functionality suitable for different terrains.
Are these trainers waterproof?
The 574 trainers are not inherently waterproof. While the suede and mesh offer some resistance, they are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions. Special waterproofing treatments can be applied.
What is the main difference between the 574 and other New Balance models?
The 574 is recognized for its iconic, classic design and all-around versatility. Many other New Balance models are engineered for specific performance needs, such as specialized running, hiking, or court sports.
Can I put these trainers in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash suede and mesh trainers, as this can damage the materials and affect the shoe's structure and adhesive. Hand cleaning is the preferred method.
What is the typical lifespan of New Balance 574 trainers?
With proper care and regular wear, the New Balance 574 trainers are known for their durability and can last for several years. Lifespan depends heavily on usage intensity and maintenance.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained.
Gently brush with a suede brush or use a suede eraser. For persistent stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and follow product instructions carefully.
Shoes feel too tight.
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. If still uncomfortable, try wearing them with thinner socks or consider if the specific fit is not suited to your foot shape.
Reduced comfort over time.
Check the insoles for wear and consider replacing them. Ensure the shoes are not overly worn out, as internal cushioning can degrade.
Blue dye transfer onto socks.
This can occasionally occur with new, dark-colored footwear. It is often reduced after the first few wears or initial cleaning. Ensure the shoes are fully dry before wearing.

Care: To maintain the condition of your suede and mesh trainers:
- Cleaning Suede: Use a soft brush or a suede eraser to gently remove dry dirt. For tougher stains, consider a specialized suede cleaner, testing it on an inconspicuous area first.
