FAQs
Are the New Balance 574 suitable for running?
The New Balance 574 is primarily designed as a lifestyle or casual trainer. While they offer good cushioning for everyday wear, they are not engineered for high-impact running and may lack the specialized support and cushioning required for serious athletic training.
How do I determine my correct size?
Refer to the brand's sizing chart for New Balance. Measure your foot length and compare it with the chart. Since these are unisex, consider checking reviews for any specific fit notes related to gender.
Can these trainers be worn in wet conditions?
While the materials offer some protection, they are not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to prevent damage to the suede and leather components and to keep your feet dry.
What is the typical lifespan of the New Balance 574?
With proper care and regular use, the New Balance 574 can last anywhere from 1 to 3 years. Durability depends on the frequency of wear, the activities performed while wearing them, and the maintenance they receive.
Does the color 'Off White/Grey' tend to stain easily?
The off-white color, especially on the suede and mesh parts, can be prone to showing dirt and stains more readily than darker colors. Regular cleaning and using protective sprays can help maintain their appearance.
What does ENCAP midsole technology mean?
ENCAP is New Balance's technology that combines a soft foam midsole with a durable polyurethane rim. This provides all-day support and maximum durability, contributing to the shoe's overall comfort and longevity.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Try wearing them with thinner socks or consider using a shoe stretcher for a wider fit. If the tightness is significant, check if you have the correct size, as sizing can vary slightly between models.
Suede is discolored or dirty
Use a suede eraser for dry marks and a suede brush to restore the nap. For stubborn stains, a specialized suede cleaner is recommended. Always test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.
Laces are dirty
Remove the laces and hand wash them with mild detergent and water, or place them in a mesh laundry bag and machine wash on a delicate cycle. Allow them to air dry completely before re-lacing.
Unusual squeaking noise
This can sometimes happen with new shoes. Try powdering the inside of the shoe with talcum powder or baking soda to absorb moisture that might be causing friction. Ensure the insoles are properly seated.
