FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While the 574 is a hybrid trainer, it is primarily designed for comfort and casual daily use rather than competitive track running.
How do I determine the right size?
Use a standard foot measuring device. The 574 runs on a wider last, which generally provides a more generous fit than standard racing trainers.
Can these be machine washed?
It is not recommended to machine wash leather trainers as it can damage the material and structure of the shoe.
Are they unisex?
Yes, the 574 design is available in styles suitable for all children, with varying colorways like the purple and pink options.
What should I do if the shoes get wet?
Remove the insoles if possible and let the shoes air dry at room temperature. Avoid direct heat.
Troubleshooting
Leather surface shows scuff marks
Gently clean the affected area with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. For deeper marks, use a leather-safe cleaner.
Shoes feel too tight despite correct size
Adjust the lace tension to account for foot width, or consider a thinner sock to provide more interior volume.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your New Balance 574 trainers, start by confirming the correct UK size for your child's foot. When fitting, ensure there is a small amount of space at the toes to allow for growth. For maintenance, clean the leather upper regularly by wiping it down with a damp cloth; avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh detergents. If the trainers get wet, let them air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the leather to crack or harden.
