FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, machine washing can damage the leather material and the structural components of the shoe. Stick to spot cleaning with a damp cloth.
Are the insoles removable?
The insoles are designed to be part of the shoe's support system; they are generally not intended to be removed.
Does this model fit true to size?
Yes, the New Balance 574 generally fits true to standard infant sizing, though it is always best to leave a little room for growth.
Is the leather upper waterproof?
While leather is naturally water-resistant to a degree, these trainers are not waterproof. Avoid heavy rain or deep puddles.
Can these be used for wide feet?
The hook-and-loop closure allows for significant adjustability, which can accommodate slightly wider feet better than fixed laces.
Troubleshooting
Hook-and-loop strap keeps coming undone
Check the loop mechanism for trapped lint or debris and clear it out to restore maximum grip.
Leather looks dull or loses its shine
Use a specialized leather conditioner or a mild leather-safe cream to restore moisture and appearance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best fit, measure your child's feet regularly, as infant sizes change rapidly. The 574 series features a consistent fit profile, making it easy to transition to the next size up as your child grows. For care, keep the leather uppers clean by wiping them with a soft, damp cloth after outdoor use. Avoid soaking the shoes in water, as this can degrade the leather and the adhesives. If the shoes become very muddy, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can cause the leather to crack.
