FAQs
Is the New Balance 574 Grey Sky Blue a performance running shoe?
No, the New Balance 574 Grey Sky Blue is designed as a lifestyle sneaker. While it incorporates elements from road running and trail shoe designs, it does not feature the advanced technologies required for serious athletic performance.
What materials are used in the upper of the 574 Grey Sky Blue?
The upper is primarily constructed from soft grey suede with tightly woven mesh underlays in Sky Blue. It also features leather accents for the 'N' logo.
How should I clean the suede parts of the shoe?
For best results, use a suede brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner is recommended. Avoid using water extensively on the suede.
What does the 'N' logo represent?
The 'N' logo is the iconic branding mark of New Balance, signifying the brand's heritage and presence on the shoe.
What is the grip like on the outsole?
The durable rubber outsole features grooves and indentations designed to provide maximum grip on a variety of surfaces, suitable for everyday walking.
Can this shoe be worn in wet conditions?
While the rubber outsole offers some grip, the suede and mesh upper are not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the materials.
Troubleshooting
Suede becoming discolored or stained
Use a suede eraser for light marks or a dedicated suede cleaner for tougher stains. Test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first. Protect with a suede protector spray.
Reduced grip on the outsole
Clean the outsole thoroughly with water and a brush to remove embedded dirt and debris. Ensure the surface you are walking on is not excessively wet or oily.
Discomfort or rubbing
Ensure you have the correct size and width. Break in the shoes with short periods of wear. Consider using thicker socks or checking for any internal seams that might be causing irritation.
