FAQs

Are the New Balance 574 trainers suitable for running?

While the 574 offers good comfort and support for walking and casual wear, they are not specifically designed as high-performance running shoes. For dedicated running, consider models engineered for that purpose.

How do I know if I have the right size?

The 574 trainers are available in various sizes, including wide options. It's recommended to try them on or consult the New Balance sizing chart to find the best fit for your foot. Ensure there is a little room at the toe and the heel doesn't slip excessively.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

The suede material is best kept dry. While they offer some protection, prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions is not recommended and may damage the suede. Using a waterproofing spray can offer additional protection.

What is the difference between this and other New Balance series?

The 574 is celebrated for its versatility and classic, unpretentious design, making it an everyday icon. Other series might focus on specialized features like enhanced cushioning for long-distance running (e.g., Fresh Foam series) or specific stability technologies.

How often should I clean my 574 trainers?

Clean your trainers as needed, especially after exposure to dirt or significant wear. Regular brushing with a suede brush can help maintain their appearance between deeper cleanings.

Are these trainers good for wide feet?

The 574 was built on a wider last than previous racing silhouettes, and wide sizes are often available. Check the specific size options to see if a wide fit is offered for your preferred color and size.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking noise from shoes

This can sometimes happen with new shoes. Try wearing them for a few more days to see if it resolves. If not, check if the insole is loose and try repositioning it. A small amount of talcum powder under the insole can also help.

Discomfort or rubbing

Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. If the shoes feel too tight, consider lacing them less tightly or using a shoe stretcher. New shoes often require a break-in period.

Suede material looks dull or dirty

Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stubborn dirt, use a suede-specific cleaning kit following the product instructions. Always allow the shoes to air dry completely after cleaning.
