FAQs

Are the New Balance 574 trainers suitable for running?

The 574 trainers are designed for everyday wear and offer a hybrid road/trail design for general comfort and durability. While they can handle light jogging or walking, they are not specialized running shoes and may lack the advanced cushioning and support needed for intense or long-distance running.

How do I choose the right size?

Refer to the sizing chart provided by New Balance, which typically includes conversions for UK, US, and European sizes. Ensure you measure your foot length accurately. The 574 features a wider last for comfort, so consider this if you have very narrow feet.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

The suede material is not inherently waterproof. While a protector spray can offer some resistance, it is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to prevent damage and staining. Ensure they dry thoroughly if they do get wet.

What is the main difference between the 574 and other New Balance models?

The 574 is recognized for its iconic, unassuming design and its versatile blend of comfort, durability, and style. Unlike some other models focused on specific performance features (e.g., advanced cushioning for running), the 574 is celebrated for its all-around reliability and classic aesthetic, making it a foundational piece in New Balance's lineup.

How often should I clean my suede trainers?

Clean your trainers as needed, especially after exposure to dirt or stains. Regular brushing with a suede brush can help maintain their appearance. Deep cleaning should be done when significant dirt or stains accumulate, following proper suede cleaning procedures.

What does 'hybrid road/trail' design mean?

This design indicates that the trainers incorporate features suitable for both paved surfaces (road) and less even terrain (trail). It typically means the sole offers good grip and stability across different ground conditions, providing a versatile foundation for varied environments.

Troubleshooting

Suede appearing matted or dirty

Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For tougher stains, apply a suede-specific cleaner with a soft cloth and allow to dry completely before brushing.

Unusual odor developing

Ensure the shoes are aired out regularly. Use a shoe deodorizer or baking soda inside the shoes when not in use to absorb moisture and odors.

Laces fraying or breaking

Replace laces with standard trainer laces of a similar length and material. Ensure they are tied securely but not excessively tight to avoid premature wear.

Discomfort after extended wear

Verify the correct size has been selected. Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for shorter periods initially. Consider using insoles for additional cushioning if needed.
