FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for machine washing?

No, it is recommended to clean the leather upper by hand using a damp cloth and mild soap to maintain material integrity.

Are the insoles removable?

Most New Balance 574 models come with a standard insert; check if your specific model allows for the insert to be removed if you need to add custom orthotics.

How do I ensure I have the right fit?

Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between the longest toe and the front of the shoe to allow for natural growth.

Can these be worn in rainy weather?

While the leather offers some protection, they are not waterproof; avoid deep puddles to keep the interior dry and protect the leather material.

Is this model gender-neutral?

Yes, the New Balance 574 Core Hook & Loop series is designed with a versatile aesthetic suitable for any child.

Troubleshooting

Hook and loop straps are not sticking securely

Check the fasteners for debris or lint buildup; use a clean brush to remove buildup to restore the grip.

Leather looks dull after exposure to mud

Wipe with a damp cloth and apply a small amount of leather conditioner once the shoe is completely dry to restore its natural sheen.

Pros and Cons

  • Rugged leather construction for high durability
  • Timeless design pairs well with any outfit
  • Stable base supports balanced growth

Cons

  • Leather may require more specific cleaning than synthetic mesh
  • Not intended for specialized professional sports
  • Hook and loop fasteners may wear out faster than traditional laces over long-term heavy use

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because these are Hook & Loop trainers, there is no setup required; simply adjust the straps to fit the child's foot comfortably. To maintain the leather upper, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe away surface dust after each use. For tougher stains, use a mild leather-safe cleaner and allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the leather to crack or lose its shape.
