FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While originally designed as a hybrid road/trail shoe, modern 574s are best used for casual wear and walking rather than high-performance distance running.
Does the 574 come in different widths?
The 574 is known for its signature wider last design, which generally fits a wider variety of foot shapes comfortably.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the leather and the structure of the shoe. Hand cleaning is recommended.
Is the leather upper waterproof?
The leather provides natural water resistance, but it is not fully waterproof. It is best to apply a protective spray if you intend to wear them in wet conditions.
How should I choose my size?
The 574 generally fits true to size, but the wider last may feel roomy. If you are between sizes or have narrow feet, you may want to try a half-size down.
Troubleshooting
Leather looks dull or loses its shine
Apply a high-quality leather conditioner to nourish the material and restore its natural luster.
Shoes feel too loose during walking
Try adjusting your lacing technique using the top eyelet for a 'runner's loop' or 'heel lock' to secure the midfoot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 574 trainers remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in Period: While comfortable out of the box, the leather will soften and mold to your foot shape after a few days of wear.
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt from the leather. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner and a damp cloth; avoid submerging the shoes in water or putting them in a washing machine.
- Protection: Apply a leather-appropriate water and stain repellent spray to maintain the finish and protect against outdoor elements.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from cracking or fading over time.
