FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

While they feature a hybrid road/trail design, they are intended as casual trainers. They provide good support for daily activity but are not categorized as professional performance running shoes.

Is the leather water-resistant?

The leather offers some protection against light moisture, but they are not waterproof. We recommend applying a leather protectant spray if you plan on using them in damp conditions.

How do I determine the right size for my child?

New Balance 574s are built on a wider last. It is recommended to measure your child's feet while they are wearing socks and ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between the longest toe and the front of the shoe.

Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?

No. Machine washing can damage the leather material, affect the adhesive bonds, and distort the shape of the shoe. Always clean them by hand.

Are these unisex?

Yes, the New Balance 574 Core series is designed as a unisex model suitable for all kids.

Troubleshooting

Leather looks dull or scuffed

Use a matching leather polish or cream to restore the color and buff out minor scuffs with a soft cloth.

Shoes are damp inside after play

Remove the insoles and stuff the shoes with crumpled newspaper to absorb moisture overnight in a well-ventilated area.

Difficulty putting shoes on

Ensure the laces are fully loosened from the eyelets down to the midfoot to allow the wider opening to accommodate the foot.

Pros and Cons

  • Classic, timeless style that pairs with any outfit

  • Requires regular conditioning to maintain leather suppleness
  • Less breathable than mesh-based performance running shoes

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your New Balance 574 trainers, proper maintenance of the leather upper is essential.

  1. Cleaning: Wipe away loose dirt with a soft brush or a dry cloth after each use. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild soap, but avoid soaking the leather.
  2. Drying: Always air dry at room temperature. Never place shoes near heat sources like radiators, as this can crack or shrink the leather.
  3. Conditioning: Periodically apply a leather conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent cracking.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight when not in use.
  5. Sizing: These shoes are built on a wider last, which is ideal for standard to slightly wider foot shapes.
