FAQs
Are the New Balance 574 suitable for running?
The New Balance 574 is designed as a lifestyle and casual wear shoe. While it offers comfort and support for walking and everyday activities, it is not optimized for the demands of high-impact running or athletic performance.
How do I clean the suede on my 574 trainers?
For general cleaning, use a dry suede brush to remove dirt. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and a damp cloth, then allow to air dry. Avoid machine washing.
What does ENCAP midsole cushioning mean?
ENCAP refers to a core technology that combines a soft foam core with a durable polyurethane rim. This construction provides cushioning and support for all-day comfort.
Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?
While the suede and textile materials offer some protection, they are not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to prevent damage and maintain their appearance. Using a suede protector spray can offer some water resistance.
What is the primary material used for the upper?
The upper is a mix of heritage pigskin suede and textile, designed for durability and breathability.
Are these trainers unisex?
Yes, the New Balance 574 is generally considered a unisex model, suitable for both men and women. Specific sizing is available for different foot sizes.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking noise
This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try walking on different surfaces to see if it resolves. If persistent, check for loose insoles or ensure all parts are properly seated.
Discomfort or rubbing
Ensure you have the correct size and width. Wear them for short periods initially to break them in. Thick socks can also help prevent rubbing.
Suede appearance dulling
Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stubborn marks, use a dedicated suede cleaner following product instructions carefully.
