FAQs

What is the main purpose of the New Balance 574 trainers?

The 574 trainers are designed as a versatile, durable, and comfortable shoe for everyday wear, blending aspects of road and trail running aesthetics.

Are these trainers suitable for running?

While they feature a hybrid design inspired by running shoes, they are best suited for casual wear and light activities. They do not offer the specialized support or cushioning required for intense running or athletic training.

How do I clean the suede material?

For best results, use a suede brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, a specialized suede cleaner or eraser is recommended. Avoid getting the suede excessively wet.

What does 'hybrid road/trail design' mean?

It means the shoe incorporates features suitable for both paved surfaces (road) and less-maintained paths (trail), offering a balance of grip, durability, and comfort for varied environments.

Is the sizing unisex?

Yes, the 574 trainers are designed with a unisex fit, meaning they are suitable for both men and women. Refer to the size chart for accurate conversions.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

The suede material is not inherently waterproof. While they can handle light moisture, prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended and may damage the suede. Consider a suede protector spray for added water resistance.

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

The 574 is known for its classic, unassuming versatility and comfort, making it an icon. Other models might focus on specific performance features like enhanced cushioning, lightweight construction, or specialized trail grip.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or stained.

Use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaning kit. For minor scuffs, a soft toothbrush can be effective. Always test cleaning products on an inconspicuous area first.

Shoes feel tight after wearing.

Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. If the shoes are new, they may need a short break-in period. Consider using shoe stretchers if the tightness persists.

Laces are frayed or worn.

Replace laces with a new pair. Ensure the new laces are of a similar length and material for optimal fit and appearance.

Color bleeding from suede.

This can occur with new or wet suede. Protect surrounding items and clothing. Consider applying a suede protector spray (following product instructions) to help prevent future bleeding.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning Suede: Use a soft brush or a specialized suede cleaner to remove dry dirt and dust. For stains, a slightly damp cloth can be used, but avoid saturating the suede. Allow to air dry completely.
  2. Laces: Remove laces for separate cleaning. They can be hand-washed or machine-washed in a garment bag.
  3. Sole: Wipe down the rubber sole with a damp cloth.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation and fading. Consider using shoe trees to maintain shape.
