FAQs
Are New Balance 574 shoes good for running?
The 574 is designed primarily as a lifestyle and casual walking shoe. While durable, it lacks the advanced technical cushioning found in New Balance's dedicated performance running line.
Can these shoes be machine washed?
No, machine washing can damage the suede material and affect the structure of the shoe. Stick to hand cleaning with appropriate brushes and cleaners.
Are they unisex?
Yes, the 574 is designed as a unisex model, though sizing is typically provided in standard UK adult measurements.
Do they provide good arch support?
The 574 offers moderate, standard support suitable for daily use. If you require aggressive orthotic support, the insoles are removable to accommodate your own inserts.
What is the best way to clean the suede?
Keep the suede dry. Use a dedicated suede brush for dry dirt and a suede-specific eraser for spots.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on suede upper
Use a specialized suede brush to gently lift debris in the direction of the grain.
Minor scuffs on surface
Gently rub the area with a rubber suede eraser to buff out surface marks.
Shoes feel loose
Try adjusting the lacing pattern to a 'runner's loop' or 'heel lock' method to secure the midfoot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your 574 trainers remain in top condition, proper care is essential. Given the suede construction, it is recommended to use a protective suede spray before the first wear to guard against moisture and dirt. If the shoes become dirty, avoid submerging them in water. Instead, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dried mud or debris. For deeper stains, a specialized suede eraser or cleaner is recommended. When finding your size, the 574 generally fits true to size, but because it is built on a wider last, those with exceptionally narrow feet may find they have a bit more room in the toe box than expected.
