Product Information
Full details
The New Balance 574 for kids is designed for active children who need a reliable, everyday sneaker that balances comfort with durability. By taking the iconic hybrid road-and-trail design of the adult series and adapting it for growing feet, this shoe provides an unpretentious, versatile option for school or play, though its leather construction may feel slightly stiffer than fabric alternatives during the initial break-in period.

FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, because they are constructed with leather, machine washing can cause the material to stiffen, crack, or lose its shape. Stick to hand cleaning.
What does the 574's hybrid design mean for kids?
It means the shoe is built to be more rugged and stable than a standard running shoe, providing better support for varied terrains and daily wear.
Is the size UK 2.5 suitable for all children?
Size is dependent on the child's actual foot measurement. Please verify your child's current foot size before purchasing as sizing can vary between brands.
Does this shoe provide good arch support?
Yes, the 574 series is known for being a stable, supportive shoe, making it a good choice for daily activities.
Can these be used for sports?
They are great for general physical education and outdoor play, though they are not specialized performance equipment for competitive track or field sports.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight initially
Leather will soften with wear. Have the child wear them for short durations indoors to 'break in' the leather before all-day use.
Scuff marks on the leather surface
Use a specialized leather eraser or a small amount of leather conditioner to buff out minor surface scuffs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your child's 574 trainers, proper maintenance is essential.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the leather surface. For tougher stains, use a damp cloth with mild soap, but avoid submerging the shoes in water as this can damage the leather.
- Drying: Always air dry at room temperature. Never place them near a heater or in a clothes dryer, as excessive heat can cause the leather to crack and the adhesive to degrade.
- Fit Check: Ensure the child is wearing socks of a similar thickness to their daily footwear when testing the UK 2.5 size to ensure proper circulation and comfort.
- Storage: Keep them in a cool, dry place to prevent mold and to maintain the integrity of the leather.
