FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, because they are made with suede, it is recommended to clean them by hand to avoid damage to the material.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
Yes, the 574 is built on a wider last than many other racing-style silhouettes, making them naturally more accommodating for various foot shapes.
Can I use these for sports like soccer?
These are designed as versatile everyday trainers and are not optimized for high-intensity sports or specific athletic fields.
What does the 574 'Core' series mean?
The Core series refers to the classic, foundational models that keep the original design spirit and style of the iconic 574 shoe.
Does the hook and loop closure stay secure during play?
Yes, the hook and loop system is designed to be strong enough for daily activities and play, provided the straps are kept clean of debris.
Troubleshooting
Hook and loop straps are losing grip
Use a pair of tweezers or a small comb to remove lint, hair, and debris caught in the fastening fibers.
Suede looks dull or matted
Gently rub the suede in one direction using a dedicated suede brush to lift the fibers and restore the original texture.
Minor scuffs on the suede
Lightly use a suede eraser or a clean white pencil eraser to gently lift the mark without oversaturating the material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers are designed for immediate use. To keep the suede material in top condition:
- Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and dust. Avoid getting the shoes completely soaked.
- Stain Removal: For minor marks, use a suede eraser. Do not use standard washing machines or harsh chemical detergents as they may damage the suede nap.
- Storage: Keep the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources to prevent the suede from becoming stiff.
- Fit: Ensure the hook & loop straps are adjusted to provide a snug, but not constricting, fit across the midfoot.
