Product Information
Full details
The New Balance 574 is a quintessential, unisex lifestyle trainer designed for adults who prioritize a blend of heritage style and reliable everyday comfort. Originally engineered as a hybrid road and trail performer, it offers a wider fit profile than many modern racing shoes, making it an excellent choice for long-term wear, though its classic design does not feature the latest high-performance athletic technology found in specialized track gear.

FAQs
Are New Balance 574 trainers good for running?
While originally designed as a hybrid road and trail shoe, the 574 is now intended primarily for lifestyle and casual use rather than long-distance running or professional athletic performance.
How do I clean the suede material?
Use a dry, soft-bristled brush to clean surface dust. For stubborn marks, use a professional suede cleaner or an eraser designed for suede, and always test on a small area first.
Does the 574 fit true to size?
Yes, they are generally true to standard UK sizing, though the wider last provides more room than most narrow-fit performance running shoes.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the suede and the structural integrity of the shoe. Stick to gentle hand cleaning methods.
Are these shoes unisex?
Yes, the New Balance 574 is designed as a unisex model, suitable for anyone based on the UK size conversion.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt or mud on the suede upper
Allow the mud to dry completely before brushing it off with a soft-bristled brush to prevent rubbing the stain deeper into the fabric.
Tight fit across the midfoot
Loosen the lacing system starting from the eyelets closest to the toe box to allow for more volume and comfort.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 574s maintain their appearance, regular care is essential due to the suede material. Avoid fully submerging the trainers in water. Instead, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dust and debris. If you encounter stains on the suede, a dedicated suede eraser or a mild, specialized leather cleaning solution is recommended. Ensure the trainers are stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading. For sizing, these are standard UK adult sizes; if you are between sizes, the wider construction generally allows for a comfortable fit with standard athletic socks.
