FAQs

Are the New Balance 574 trainers suitable for running?

The 574 was originally designed as a hybrid road/trail shoe and offers good general comfort and support for walking and daily activities. However, they are not specifically engineered for high-impact running and may lack the advanced cushioning and support found in modern running-specific footwear.

How do I determine my correct size?

It is recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with New Balance's official sizing chart. Given the 574's wider last, consider your usual fit preference – if you typically prefer more room, the standard fit should be comfortable. This specific model information suggests a size 5 UK is being described.

Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?

No, it is not recommended to machine wash the New Balance 574 trainers. The materials, especially the suede, can be damaged by the washing machine's agitation and heat. Hand washing or spot cleaning is the preferred method.

What is the main difference between this and other New Balance models?

The 574 is characterized by its iconic, versatile design and a balance of comfort and durability, originating from a hybrid road/trail shoe concept. Other New Balance models might focus on more specialized performance features, such as enhanced cushioning for running (e.g., the Fresh Foam series) or specific stability technologies.

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

Store your trainers in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. It is best to keep them in a well-ventilated area, perhaps in a shoe box or on a shelf, to maintain their shape and prevent damage.

Does the beige and white colorway get dirty easily?

Lighter colors like beige and white can show dirt and scuffs more readily than darker colors. Regular cleaning and the use of protective sprays can help maintain their appearance.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking noise during wear

This can sometimes occur due to friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, checking for debris, and reinserting it. A small amount of talcum powder under the insole might also help.

Discoloration of suede

Suede can be sensitive to moisture and certain cleaning agents. For light discoloration, try using a suede eraser. For more significant issues, consult a professional shoe cleaner specializing in suede.

Reduced cushioning over time

The midsole cushioning may naturally compress with extended use. To potentially restore some comfort, ensure the insoles are clean and properly seated. If the cushioning feels significantly diminished, consider replacing the insoles.

Stains on mesh areas

Gently wipe the mesh with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh scrubbing, which could damage the material. Allow to air dry completely.

Care: To maintain the appearance and longevity of your 574 trainers, follow these care instructions:

  5. Protection: Consider using a suede protector spray to help repel water and stains, especially for the suede components.
