FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While the 574 is durable and supportive for general daily activities and play, it is categorized as a casual trainer rather than a specialized high-performance running shoe.
How do I determine the right size for my child?
New Balance sizing is generally true to fit. We recommend measuring your child's foot using a standard sizing gauge or checking the manufacturer's official size guide for the 574 series.
Can these be worn in the rain?
The leather upper provides better resistance to light moisture than mesh trainers, but they are not fully waterproof and should be dried properly if they get wet.
Are the laces standard or elastic?
The standard 574 model typically comes with traditional tie laces, which allows for a customized and secure fit for the child.
How often should I clean the leather?
It is best to wipe them down whenever they appear visibly dirty or dusty to prevent grime from setting into the leather grain.
Troubleshooting
Visible scuffs on the leather surface
Apply a small amount of black leather polish or cream to buff out surface-level scratches.
Leather feels stiff after cleaning
Apply a leather conditioner specifically formulated for footwear to restore suppleness after cleaning.
The shoes smell after heavy use
Remove the insoles to air out and use an odor-neutralizing spray inside the shoe; ensure they are completely dry before the next wear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Proper care for your leather New Balance 574s is essential for longevity.
Care Instructions:
- Remove loose dirt with a soft-bristled brush after use.
- Use a damp cloth with mild soap to wipe down the leather surfaces.
- Avoid submerging the shoes in water or putting them in the washing machine, as this can degrade the leather.
- Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the leather to crack.
- For scuffs, a matching black leather cream or polish can help restore the finish.
