FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While the 574 has heritage roots in performance, this model is designed as a casual lifestyle trainer and is not recommended for dedicated long-distance running.
How do I check the correct size?
Always verify the UK size on the label, as international sizing standards (US/EU) printed on the box often differ from the UK sizing system.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the leather and suede materials and weaken the structural adhesives. Use spot cleaning techniques instead.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper is constructed from a combination of leather and textile, offering a balance of durability and comfort.
Are the soles effective on slippery surfaces?
Yes, the trainers feature a rubber sole with an anti-slip profile, which provides improved stability on standard urban walking surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty getting a snug fit
Adjust the lace tension starting from the bottom eyelets and work your way up to ensure even pressure across the bridge of the foot.
Suede appears dull or dirty
Use a specialized suede brush or a soft-bristled brush to gently lift dirt; avoid using water or standard soap which can cause water spots.
Slippage during wet conditions
While the sole is anti-slip, ensure the rubber tread is free of debris or packed mud, which can inhibit the grip profile.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before wearing your shoes extensively, ensure the fit is correct by trying them on a clean, carpeted surface. Note that the labeling on the box may display US or Euro sizing, which can differ from your UK size, so always prioritize the UK size reference. To maintain the appearance of the suede and leather components, use a soft brush to remove surface dust after each use. Avoid machine washing, as this can degrade the adhesives and compromise the leather quality. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the leather from cracking.
