FAQs

Are the New Balance 574 trainers suitable for running?

While the 574 has a hybrid road/trail design, it is primarily intended as a lifestyle and casual wear shoe, not for performance running. For dedicated running, consider shoes specifically designed for that purpose.

How do I determine my correct UK size?

Refer to the sizing chart provided by New Balance, which typically includes measurements in centimeters or inches to help you find the best fit. The product information lists this specific pair as a UK 6.5.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the suede, mesh, and sole construction. Hand washing using mild soap and water is the preferred method for cleaning.

What is the primary material used in the 574 trainers?

The trainers primarily use suede for the upper, combined with mesh for breathability and comfort.

How often should I clean my 574 trainers?

Clean your trainers as needed, especially after exposure to dirt or adverse weather. Regular brushing of the suede can help maintain its appearance between deeper cleanings.

What does the 'unlikeliest icon' description mean?

It refers to the 574's rise to fame not through groundbreaking technology or premium materials at its inception, but through its unassuming, versatile, and comfortable design that resonated widely with consumers.

Are these trainers waterproof?

No, the suede and mesh materials are not inherently waterproof. They offer some resistance to light moisture, but are not designed for heavy rain or wet conditions.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears scuffed or dirty

Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, consider a suede-specific cleaning product.

Shoe feels slightly stiff initially

This is normal for new suede trainers. Wear them for short periods initially to break them in. The materials will soften with use.

Laces fraying or becoming worn

Replace laces with new ones of a similar length and material. You can often find replacement laces from New Balance or other footwear accessory retailers.

Discoloration on the fabric

Ensure the shoes have not been exposed to excessive moisture or harsh chemicals. Refer to the care instructions for appropriate cleaning methods.
