FAQs

Are the New Balance 574 trainers suitable for running?

The 574 features a hybrid road/trail design and is built for comfort and durability, making it suitable for light jogging or walking. However, it is not specifically designed as a performance running shoe for high-impact training.

What material are the New Balance 574 trainers made of?

These trainers typically feature a combination of suede and mesh materials in their construction.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the sizing chart provided by New Balance and measure your foot length. The 574 is built on a wider last, which generally provides a comfortable fit. Consider trying them on if possible.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

While durable, the suede material can be sensitive to excessive moisture. It's advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to maintain their appearance and longevity. Consider using a water-repellent spray designed for suede.

Are these trainers unisex?

Yes, the New Balance 574 trainers are designed as unisex footwear, suitable for adults of any gender.

What is the main advantage of the 574 series?

The primary advantage of the 574 series is its unpretentious versatility, combining comfort, durability, and a classic style that works well for everyday wear and various casual settings.

How should I clean the brown suede and grey mesh parts?

For suede, use a dry brush for dirt and a suede eraser for stains, avoiding water. For the grey mesh, a damp cloth with mild soap is usually effective. Always allow the shoes to air dry.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or stained.

Use a specialized suede brush to lift dirt. For stains, try a suede eraser or a dedicated suede cleaner, following product instructions carefully. Avoid saturating the suede with water.

Shoes feel too tight.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. If slightly tight, wearing them with thicker socks for a short period or using a shoe stretcher might help. The wider last offers a generally comfortable fit, but individual foot shapes vary.

Laces are fraying.

Replace laces with new ones. New Balance offers replacement laces, or any standard trainer laces can be used.

Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces.

The grip is designed for general use. If experiencing slipperiness on very wet or smooth surfaces, exercise caution. Ensure the sole is clean and free from debris.

Care:
