FAQs
Are the New Balance 574s good for running?
While originally designed for a hybrid road/trail experience, the 574 is a heritage model and is best suited for walking and casual wear rather than intense long-distance running.
How should I clean the suede?
Use a specialized suede brush or a soft cloth. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh detergents.
Do these run true to size?
The 574 is built on a wider last than typical performance shoes, providing a more spacious fit which many users find to be true to size.
Is the material waterproof?
No, the suede upper is not waterproof and should be protected from excessive moisture to maintain its quality.
Can I wear these for light hiking?
Yes, the rugged design of the 574 allows for light trail use, though they lack the heavy-duty treads of dedicated hiking boots.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on suede upper
Allow the shoe to dry completely, then use a dedicated suede brush to gently lift dirt and restore the nap.
Water spots on material
Lightly dampen the entire area with a cloth and let it dry naturally to even out the appearance.
Feeling too loose
Adjust the lacing pattern to provide more mid-foot security or consider adding a thin aftermarket insole.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your 574 trainers last, proper care for the suede material is essential. Avoid wearing the shoes in heavy rain, as water can damage the texture of the suede. If the shoes become dirty, allow them to air dry completely before attempting to brush off loose debris with a soft-bristled brush. For deeper stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully. Because these are unisex trainers, ensure you verify your UK sizing before purchase, as the wider fit may differ from standard racing shoes. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading of the blue and beige hues.
