Product Information
Full details
The New Balance 574 Core Hook and Loop is an ideal choice for active children who need a reliable, comfortable sneaker for everyday wear. Designed with convenience in mind, the touch-n-close fastening system allows kids to secure their own shoes quickly, while the leather-based construction provides long-lasting durability for active play. While these shoes are built for resilience, the predominant leather upper means they require specific cleaning techniques compared to purely synthetic materials.

FAQs
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No, it is not recommended to machine wash these shoes because of the leather components; machine washing can cause the leather to lose its shape and crack.
Are these shoes true to size?
The New Balance 574 series typically runs consistent with standard UK children's sizing, but it is always best to measure your child's foot against the manufacturer's size chart.
What is the primary material used in the upper?
The upper is constructed from 70% leather, with the remaining balance made up of 17% polyester and 13% textile.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The hook-and-loop design allows for a degree of adjustability, but users with very wide feet may prefer specific 'wide' width variants if available.
What is the best way to remove mud from the leather?
Allow the mud to dry completely, then gently brush it off with a soft-bristled brush before wiping the surface with a damp cloth.
Troubleshooting
Straps are no longer sticking correctly
Use a pair of tweezers or a small comb to remove lint, hair, and dust trapped in the hook portion of the fastener.
Leather looks dull or scuffed
Apply a small amount of leather conditioner or a neutral shoe cream to buff out minor scuffs and restore the shine.
Foot discomfort or tightness
Ensure the socks are not too thick and that the hook-and-loop straps are not overtightened across the bridge of the foot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these trainers use a touch-n-close system, no complex setup is required—simply adjust the straps until they feel snug but not restrictive. To keep the leather in good condition, avoid soaking the shoes in water; instead, wipe them down with a damp, soft cloth to remove dirt. If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can cause the leather to crack or stiffen. Periodically check that the hook-and-loop fasteners are free of debris like lint or thread to ensure they maintain a strong hold.
