FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the 574 Legacy generally fits true to size. If you are between sizes, many users prefer to size up for a more comfortable fit.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No. Machine washing can damage the leather and the adhesives used in the construction of the trainers.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The 574 series typically features a standard width, but the leather material will soften and stretch slightly over time to accommodate your foot shape.
What is the primary material of the upper?
This specific variant features a durable leather upper.
Are these unisex or gender-specific?
The New Balance 574 series offers variations for both men and unisex sizing; please check your specific product tag for sizing guidance.
Are these good for long-distance running?
No, these are lifestyle trainers designed for casual use and walking, not for long-distance running or athletic training.
Troubleshooting
Leather looks dull after heavy use
Apply a high-quality leather conditioner to restore suppleness and shine.
Creasing at the toe box
This is normal for leather footwear. Use shoe trees when not being worn to help maintain the original shape.
Water spots on the material

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your 574 Legacy trainers remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Initial Break-in: Leather shoes may feel firm initially; wear them for shorter periods during the first week to allow the material to conform to your feet.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner applied with a soft cloth. Avoid submerging the shoes in water.
- Storage: Keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from cracking or the blue dye from fading.
- Protection: Apply a leather-safe water and stain repellent spray to help guard against accidental spills and wet conditions.
