FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The 574 series generally offers a standard fit, but the leather material may stretch slightly to accommodate the foot over time.
Can these be machine washed?
No. Machine washing can damage the leather and the integrity of the adhesive. Stick to manual surface cleaning.
Are they waterproof?
While the leather provides good protection against light rain, they are not fully waterproof or submersible.
What age group is the 5.5 UK size for?
The size 5.5 UK is designed for older children or pre-teens transitioning toward adult sizing.
Are these good for sports?
They are excellent for general play and casual activity, though they are not designed as high-performance technical sports shoes.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too stiff upon first wear
Leather requires a break-in period. Wear them for short durations indoors before moving to longer daily use.
Surface dirt accumulation
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dry dirt from the leather seams before wiping with a damp cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your leather New Balance 574 trainers, follow these maintenance tips:
- Cleaning: Wipe away surface dirt regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild leather cleaner applied to a cloth, never directly to the shoe.
- Drying: If the shoes get wet, air dry them naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators, as these can crack or shrink the leather.
- Conditioning: Periodically use a leather conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent cracking.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
