FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, machine washing can damage the leather and the internal glue structures; please clean them by hand.
Does the shoe provide good arch support?
The 574 series offers standard support for daily wear, though it is not designed as a corrective orthopedic shoe.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The hook-and-loop closure allows for a degree of width adjustment, making it more accommodating than standard lace-up versions.
Is the material waterproof?
The leather upper is water-resistant, but the shoe is not fully waterproof and should be dried if submerged.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, if the internal insoles wear out, they can be removed and replaced with standard aftermarket kid's insoles.
What is the best way to store them?
Keep them in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight or radiators to prevent the leather from cracking.
Troubleshooting
Velcro straps are not sticking correctly
Check for lint or debris caught in the hooks and use a small brush or tweezers to clear the material.
Leather looks scuffed or dirty
Use a specialized leather cleaner or a slightly damp cloth with mild soap; always air dry away from direct heat sources.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting started with the New Balance 574 is simple: simply open the hook-and-loop straps fully, slide the child's foot in, and tighten the straps until the fit is snug but not constricting. To maintain the appearance of the leather upper, wipe down the exterior with a soft, damp cloth after exposure to mud or dirt. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes in water, as this can degrade the leather and the adhesives used in the sole. Store them in a cool, dry place to ensure the foam cushioning maintains its structural integrity.
