FAQs

Are the New Balance 574 suitable for running?

The 574s are designed as trainers with hybrid road/trail capabilities, focusing on comfort and versatility for casual wear and light athletic activities. They are not specifically engineered for high-impact running and may lack the specialized support and cushioning required for serious running.

How do I clean the suede parts of the 574 trainers?

Use a suede brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, a specialized suede cleaner and eraser are recommended. Always test any cleaning product on a small, inconspicuous area first. Avoid getting the suede wet or using harsh detergents.

What does ENCAP midsole cushioning mean?

ENCAP midsole cushioning combines a soft foam core with a durable polyurethane rim. This technology provides all-day support and maximum durability by offering a stable and cushioned base.

Can these trainers be worn by women?

Yes, the 574 model is often available in unisex sizing or specific women's fits. The timeless design and comfort make them suitable for anyone seeking a reliable everyday shoe.

What is the primary benefit of the 574's design?

The primary benefit is its unassuming versatility. It was designed to be a reliable shoe that performs well across various activities without relying on revolutionary technology, making it a comfortable and dependable choice for everyday wear.

How should I store my New Balance 574 trainers?

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. It's best to keep them in a shoe box or on a shelf to maintain their shape and prevent dust accumulation. Avoid storing them in damp conditions.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Wear them with medium-thickness socks for a few hours to allow them to slightly mold to your foot. If they remain uncomfortable, consider exchanging for a half-size larger or a wide fit if available.

Suede material looks dirty or matted

Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stains, use a suede eraser or a dedicated suede cleaner, following the product's instructions. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.

Reduced cushioning or support

The ENCAP and EVA cushioning are designed for long-term comfort. If you notice a significant decrease, it may be time to consider replacing the shoes after extensive use, as the internal foams can degrade over time.

Sole feels slippery

Ensure the outsole is clean and free from debris. If the traction appears worn down, it may indicate significant wear and the need for replacement.

Care:

  1. Suede Care: For the suede components, use a suede brush to remove dry dirt and debris. For tougher stains, a specialized suede cleaner can be used sparingly. Avoid soaking the shoes.
  2. Fabric Care: The mesh and other fabric parts can be cleaned with a damp cloth. Mild soap can be used for stubborn dirt, but rinse thoroughly.
