FAQs

Are the New Balance 574 trainers suitable for running?

The 574 is designed as a versatile trainer for everyday wear and light activities, not for high-performance running. For dedicated running, consider New Balance models specifically engineered for that purpose.

How do I clean the suede and mesh parts?

Use a suede brush and eraser for the suede, and a damp cloth with mild soap for the mesh. Always air dry and avoid direct heat.

Are these trainers waterproof?

No, the New Balance 574 trainers are not waterproof. They offer some resistance to light moisture, but are not designed for heavy rain or wet conditions. Using a water-repellent spray can add some protection.

What is the primary material used in the 574 trainers?

The primary materials are suede and mesh for the upper, providing a blend of durability and breathability.

Are the 574 trainers available in different widths?

While the 574 is known for its wider last compared to older racing shoes, specific width options may vary. It's best to check product listings for available widths.

How does the 574 differ from other New Balance models?

The 574 is celebrated for its unassuming versatility and iconic design, built as a reliable all-rounder rather than focusing on a single technological innovation. Other models might be specialized for specific sports or feature newer cushioning technologies.

Can I wear these trainers in different seasons?

Yes, the blend of suede and mesh makes them suitable for most seasons. The mesh provides breathability for warmer weather, while the suede offers some warmth for cooler conditions.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or dirty

Use a dedicated suede brush to restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, a suede eraser can be effective.

Shoes feel too tight

Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. If the shoes are new, they may need a short break-in period. For persistent tightness, consider if the size is correct or if a wider fit is needed.

Mesh material shows wear

Clean gently with a mild soap and water solution using a soft brush. Avoid harsh scrubbing which can damage the mesh fibers.

Insole is uncomfortable

The 574 often accommodates aftermarket insoles. You can replace the existing insole with a more supportive or cushioned one if needed.

  • Cleaning Mesh: Use a soft brush and a mild soap solution to clean the mesh parts. Wipe with a damp cloth.
  • Drying: Air dry the trainers naturally. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage the materials.
