FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the New Balance 574 typically fits true to standard UK size 8, though personal preference for sock thickness may vary.
Can I use these for running?
While comfortable for walking, the 574 is categorized as a lifestyle trainer and lacks the technical features required for serious running.
How should I clean the black suede parts?
Use a dry, soft brush to lift dirt. For tougher marks, use a dedicated suede eraser or a light rub with a cloth dampened with a small amount of white vinegar.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The standard 574 silhouette is designed for an average foot; if you have particularly wide feet, you may find the fit snug.
What is the secondary color on this model?
This specific variant features grey accents as the secondary color alongside the primary black base.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight during initial wear
The materials may need a brief break-in period; try wearing thinner socks initially or loosening the laces to relieve pressure points.
Visible dirt on the surface
Use a specialized suede or fabric cleaner for the upper materials; avoid submerging the shoes fully in water.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 574 trainers remain in top condition, follow these simple care steps:
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the surface. For deeper stains, use a mild detergent mixed with water and a clean cloth.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature. Avoid placing them near direct heat sources like radiators, as this can warp the materials and damage the adhesive.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
- Maintenance: Consider using a water-repellent spray if you plan on wearing these in damp conditions, but test on a small area first.
