FAQs
Are the New Balance 574 trainers waterproof?
The standard suede construction is not inherently waterproof. While they offer some resistance to light moisture, they are not designed for heavy rain or wet conditions. Consider using a suede protector spray for added water resistance.
What is the primary material used for the New Balance 574?
The primary upper material for this model is suede, combined with other durable textiles for structure and comfort.
How do I determine the right size?
Refer to the UK sizing chart provided by New Balance. It is recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with the chart. The 574 generally offers a standard fit but is built on a wider last than some previous narrow racing silhouettes.
Can I wear these trainers for running?
The 574 is designed as a hybrid road/trail shoe with a focus on versatile comfort and durability, making them suitable for light jogging or walking. However, they are not specialized running shoes and may lack the specific cushioning and support required for intense or long-distance running.
What does 'hybrid road/trail' design mean?
This means the shoe is engineered to perform well on both paved surfaces (roads) and less demanding off-road terrains (trails), offering a balance of grip, stability, and comfort for varied environments.
How should I care for the suede material?
Clean with a suede brush for dry dirt. Use specialized suede cleaners for stains, always testing first and allowing to air dry. Avoid soaking and direct heat.
Is this shoe suitable for women?
While this specific listing is for a men's size 12, the 574 series is known for its unisex appeal and is available in a wide range of sizes and colorways suitable for all genders.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dry or dull
Use a suede brush to restore the nap and appearance. Consider applying a suede protector spray after cleaning for added protection.
Shoes feel too tight after wearing
Ensure you have the correct size. For a slightly snug fit, wear with thinner socks or try loosening the laces. If consistently too tight, consider if a larger size is needed or if the shoe is not suitable for your foot shape.
Discoloration on suede after cleaning
Ensure you used a cleaner specifically designed for suede and followed instructions carefully. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first. Allow shoes to air dry completely away from heat.
Soles show signs of wear
This is normal with regular use. For significant wear, consider professional shoe repair or replacement if the shoes are old and heavily used.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Suede: Use a suede brush to remove loose dirt and debris. For tougher stains, a specialized suede cleaner can be applied sparingly, following the product's instructions. Allow to air dry naturally; avoid direct heat.
- Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid soaking the shoes.
- Laces: Remove laces for separate cleaning. They can be hand-washed or machine-washed in a garment bag.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, to prevent material degradation and fading. Consider using shoe trees to maintain shape.
