Product Information

Full details

The New Balance 574 trainers are designed for adults seeking a versatile and durable casual shoe. Their key benefit lies in their comfortable, hybrid road/trail design that offers broad appeal and wardrobe compatibility. A potential caveat is that the suede and mesh upper, while stylish, requires specific care to maintain its appearance. Originally conceived as an all-around, unpretentious shoe rather than a high-tech model, the 574 has become a timeless classic known for its fusion of style, toughness, and comfort.

FAQs

Are the New Balance 574 trainers suitable for running?

The 574 trainers are designed primarily for casual wear and everyday comfort. While they have a heritage rooted in running shoe design, they are not intended for serious athletic training or competitive running.

How do I clean the suede and mesh upper?

For suede, use a suede brush for dry dirt and a specialized cleaner for stains. Mesh can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. Always allow shoes to air dry naturally.

What does 'hybrid road/trail design' mean for this shoe?

It means the shoe was designed with features that offer good performance and comfort on both paved surfaces (roads) and less demanding, uneven terrain (trails), making it very versatile for everyday use.

Do these trainers come in different widths?

The product information indicates a 'wider last' compared to previous generations, suggesting a more accommodating fit. Specific width options (e.g., narrow, wide, extra-wide) are not detailed here but may be available for this model.

Can I put these trainers in the washing machine?

It is generally not recommended to machine wash suede and mesh trainers, as this can damage the materials, glue, and structure of the shoe. Hand cleaning is the preferred method.

What is the main material used in the 574 trainers?

The upper is a combination of suede and mesh. The product also notes that this item contains cow leather.

Are these trainers unisex?

Yes, the product attributes specify 'Unisex' for gender, indicating they are suitable for anyone.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Ensure you have selected the correct size. If new, the shoes may need a short break-in period. Try wearing them with thinner socks or loosening the laces.

Suede appears dirty or stained

Use a suede brush to remove loose dirt. For tougher stains, consult a specialized suede cleaner and follow product instructions carefully. Test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.

Discomfort during walking

Check that the laces are tied correctly. Ensure the insoles are properly seated. If discomfort persists, consider if the shoe is suitable for the intended activity, as these are primarily casual trainers.

Mesh material looks worn

Clean gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive scrubbing which can damage the mesh fibers.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for unisex adult wear and are compatible with a wide range of casual attire. They are not intended for specialized athletic performance in disciplines like professional running or specific sports.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning Suede: For suede parts, use a dedicated suede brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, a slightly damp cloth or a specialized suede cleaner can be used sparingly. Avoid soaking the material.
  • Cleaning Mesh: The mesh panels can be cleaned gently with a damp cloth and mild soap.
  • Laces and Insoles: Laces can be removed and hand-washed. Insoles can often be wiped clean.
  • Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Stuffing with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
  • Protection: Consider using a suede protector spray to help repel water and stains, especially before initial wear.
