FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The 574 is designed as a lifestyle trainer. While comfortable for walking, they are not intended for distance running or high-impact athletic activities.
How do I clean my leather New Balance 574s?
Wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth. Use a mild soap if necessary and allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
Does the 574 fit true to size?
Generally, the 574 fits true to size, but the choice between leather and suede may slightly impact the initial snugness. It is recommended to try them on with your typical everyday socks.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are typically removable if you require custom orthotics or wish to use your own inserts.
Are these trainers waterproof?
They are not explicitly waterproof. It is advised to avoid heavy rain and puddles, especially with suede versions.
What is the ENCAP midsole?
ENCAP is a core of soft EVA cushioning in the heel with a tough polyurethane rim, providing both comfort and durability.
Troubleshooting
Laces feel too tight or loose throughout the day
Adjust the lace tension during mid-day as feet naturally expand; consider trying different lacing patterns for a more customized fit.
Minor scuffs on the leather surface
Use a leather cleaner specifically formulated for trainers and follow up with a matching conditioner to restore the finish.
Suede material appears dull or dusty
Use a dry, soft-bristle suede brush in gentle, circular motions to lift the nap and remove surface debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 574 trainers last, start by ensuring you have the correct UK size, as sizing can vary slightly between materials like leather and suede. For initial setup, loosen the laces completely before putting the shoe on to avoid straining the heel counter, then tighten to your preferred comfort level. When cleaning, avoid machine washing or drying. For leather models, use a damp cloth and specialized leather conditioner. For suede models, utilize a soft-bristle brush to remove dry dirt and consider a suede-specific water repellent spray to protect against the elements.
