FAQs

Are the New Balance 574 trainers suitable for running?

The 574 trainers are designed with a hybrid road/trail construction and offer comfort for everyday wear. They are not specialized running shoes and are best suited for walking, casual use, or light, infrequent jogging rather than high-performance running.

How do I clean the suede material on my 574 trainers?

For suede, use a suede brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, apply a specialized suede cleaner following the product's instructions. Avoid washing the shoes in a machine and allow them to air dry naturally away from heat.

What does 'hybrid road/trail design' mean for these trainers?

It means the shoes are built with features suitable for both paved surfaces and light off-road conditions. They offer more durability and grip than a standard road shoe but are less specialized than a dedicated trail running shoe.

Can these trainers be worn by men and women?

Yes, the New Balance 574 trainers are listed as unisex and are designed to be suitable for any gender.

What is the main advantage of the 574 series?

The main advantage is their versatility, durability, and timeless comfort, making them a reliable choice for a wide range of everyday activities and a staple in many wardrobes.

Do these trainers come in other colors besides Brown/Blue?

The New Balance 574 series is available in a wide variety of colors and material combinations. This guide specifically covers the Brown/Blue suede variant.

How should I store my 574 trainers when not in use?

Store them in a cool, dry place, ideally in a box or shoe bag to protect them from dust and direct sunlight. Ensure they are clean and dry before storage to prevent mildew or damage.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or stained.

Use a dedicated suede brush for dry dirt. For stains, employ a specialized suede cleaner and follow the product instructions carefully. Test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.

Shoes feel too tight.

Ensure you have the correct size. If slightly tight, wearing them with thicker socks for a short period or using shoe stretchers may help. The wider last offers a generally comfortable fit, but individual fit can vary.

Sole is dirty or worn.

Clean rubber soles with a damp cloth or a mild soap solution. For significant wear, consult a shoe repair professional for potential sole replacement options if available.

Laces are frayed or worn.

Replace laces with a new pair of similar length and material. New Balance offers replacement laces, or generic ones can be used.
