FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The New Balance 574 is a lifestyle sneaker designed for casual, everyday wear rather than high-impact athletic running.

Does the UK 9 size fit true to size?
Yes, the New Balance 574 generally fits true to standard UK sizing for adults.
Can I replace the original insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics or aftermarket comfort insoles.
Are these sneakers waterproof?

Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on the upper material
Gently wipe with a clean cloth dampened with water and mild detergent, then let air dry.
Laces becoming frayed or damaged
Replace with standard flat athletic laces of equivalent length.
Discomfort during long periods of walking

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 574 sneakers last, avoid submerging them in water or using harsh industrial detergents. To clean, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the outsole and a damp cloth with mild soap to wipe the upper materials. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent material degradation. These trainers are compatible with standard casual socks and fit true to the UK 9 sizing standard.
