FAQs
Are the New Balance 574 trainers suitable for running?
The 574 is designed as a versatile lifestyle trainer and is not optimized for high-performance running. While they offer comfort for walking and casual wear, they lack the specific features and support required for intense running activities.
How do I know if I have the right size?
The trainers should feel snug but not tight, with enough room in the toe box to wiggle your toes freely. Try them on at the end of the day when your feet are slightly larger. Ensure there is no pinching or excessive pressure points.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash suede and mesh trainers. Machine washing can damage the materials, compromise the adhesives, and alter the shape of the shoe. Hand washing with appropriate cleaners is the preferred method.
What does 'ENCAP midsole technology' mean?
ENCAP refers to New Balance's core cushioning technology. It consists of a shock-absorbing EVA (ethylene vinyl acetate) core encapsulated within a durable polyurethane (PU) shell, providing both cushioning and support.
How often should I clean my 574 trainers?
Clean your trainers as needed, depending on usage and exposure to dirt or stains. For regular wear, a quick brush-off after each use and a more thorough cleaning every few weeks or when visibly dirty is advisable.
What is the difference between a standard and a wide fit?
A wide fit (often indicated by 'D' for men or '2E' for women, though the 574 is unisex) offers more volume and space across the width of the shoe, particularly in the midfoot and forefoot, compared to a standard fit.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Try wearing them with thinner socks. If the issue persists after a break-in period, consider if the size is appropriate or if a wider fit is needed. Some users find wearing them around the house for short periods helps stretch them slightly.
Suede appears dirty or stained
Use a dedicated suede brush to lift dirt. For stains, apply a specialized suede cleaner sparingly with a clean cloth and follow the product's instructions. Allow to dry completely and then brush again.
Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces
Ensure the sole is clean from debris. For persistent slipperiness on smooth surfaces, consider a professional cleaning or consult a shoe care specialist. New shoes may require a short 'break-in' period for the tread to grip optimally.
Laces fraying or breaking
Replace laces with a new pair of similar length and material. Consider using waxed laces for increased durability.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning Suede: Use a suede brush to gently remove dry dirt and dust. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and a clean cloth, following the product's instructions. Avoid using excessive water.
- Cleaning Mesh: Lightly brush off dirt. For visible marks, use a mild soap and water solution with a soft brush or cloth. Rinse gently and allow to air dry.
- Laces: Remove laces for separate cleaning. Hand wash with mild detergent and air dry.
- Drying: Always air dry the trainers away from direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can damage the materials. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape during drying.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or the original box to protect them from dust and potential damage.
