FAQs
Are the New Balance 574 trainers machine washable?
No, you should not put suede New Balance 574s in the washing machine as it will damage the suede and the shoe structure.
Is the sizing consistent for children?
Yes, they generally follow standard UK children's sizing, but it is always best to measure your child's foot with a small amount of room for growth.
Can these be used for sports?
While they are comfortable for general play and walking, they are classified as lifestyle trainers and are not substitutes for sport-specific performance footwear.
What is the ENCAP midsole?
ENCAP is a core of soft cushioning in the midsole with a tough polyurethane rim for more support and durability.
How do I protect the suede?
Use a high-quality suede protector spray and avoid wearing them in heavy rain or deep mud.
Troubleshooting
The suede is showing light dust or surface dirt.
Use a specialized suede brush to gently lift dirt in the direction of the nap.
Footbed feels less supportive after months of wear.
Check the interior lining for debris or consider replacing the factory insole with a standard aftermarket cushioned insert.
Shoes feel tight after a growth spurt.
Because these shoes utilize a structured upper, they do not stretch significantly; if the fit is too snug, it is time to size up for proper foot health.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 574 trainers remain in top condition, proper care is essential. Since these feature a suede upper, avoid submerging them in water or using harsh detergents. Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dirt after each wear. If the shoes become damp, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the suede to stiffen or shrink. For best results, apply a suede-specific water and stain repellent spray before the first wear to create a protective barrier against spills and mud.
