Product Information

Full details

The New Balance 574 Grey Sky Blue trainers are designed for adults seeking a stylish and comfortable sneaker for everyday wear. Their key benefit lies in the blend of classic design with durable construction, inspired by both road running and trail aesthetics. A potential consideration is that while they offer good grip, they are lifestyle sneakers and not specialized athletic footwear. These trainers feature a suede and mesh upper, a secure lacing system, and a rubber outsole for reliable traction.

FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

The New Balance 574 trainers are designed as lifestyle sneakers. While they offer comfort and good grip for walking and everyday activities, they are not engineered for high-performance running or athletic training.

How do I clean the suede parts of the trainers?

For suede, use a specialized suede brush or eraser to remove dirt. Avoid excessive moisture. For tougher stains, a dedicated suede cleaner is recommended, always following the product's specific instructions and testing in a hidden area first.

What is the primary material used for the upper?

The upper of the New Balance 574 Grey Sky Blue trainers is constructed from a combination of soft grey suede and contrasting sky blue mesh underlays.

What is the outsole made of and what are its benefits?

The outsole is made of durable black rubber and features grooves and indentations designed to provide excellent grip on various surfaces.

When were these specific trainers released?

This iteration of the New Balance 574, the Grey Sky Blue colourway, was released on January 8, 2021.

Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, especially due to the suede material. Hand washing or spot cleaning is the preferred method for care.

Are these trainers unisex?

While the specific listing is for men's size UK 11, the New Balance 574 series is often available in unisex sizing. Please check product details for specific gender availability.

Troubleshooting

Suede looking dull or dirty

Use a suede brush to restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner following the product's instructions.

Traction feels reduced

Check the rubber outsole for embedded debris like small stones or mud. Clean the grooves thoroughly with a brush or a damp cloth.

Discomfort during wear

Ensure the correct size has been selected. Break in the shoes by wearing them for short periods initially. Consider using insoles if additional support is needed.

Color transfer from mesh or suede

This can sometimes occur with new footwear. It's advisable to wear darker socks initially. If the issue persists, consider using a fabric protector spray suitable for suede and mesh, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
