Product Information

Full details

The New Balance 574 is designed for adults seeking a versatile, reliable trainer that balances everyday comfort with a classic, rugged aesthetic. Celebrated as an all-time icon for its unassuming design, it excels as a hybrid road-to-trail shoe that fits seamlessly into any wardrobe. While its wider last provides excellent stability and comfort for many foot shapes, those accustomed to ultra-slim, performance-racing silhouettes may find the build feels more substantial and less streamlined than modern technical footwear.

FAQs

Is the New Balance 574 good for running?

The 574 was originally designed as a hybrid road/trail shoe, but it is best suited for casual wear and walking rather than competitive or high-mileage running.

How do I clean the suede upper?

Use a specialized suede brush or a soft, dry cloth to remove dirt. Avoid using water or standard soap, as these can damage the texture.

Is the fit true to size?

Yes, the 574 generally fits true to size, but because of the wider last, it may feel roomier than narrow-fitting performance shoes.

Can these shoes be worn in the rain?

It is not recommended. The suede material is porous and can easily soak up water, leading to stains or material degradation.

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

Yes, the 574 is well-regarded for its wider last, which provides more room in the toe box and midfoot compared to standard athletic shoes.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dull or dirty

Use a dry, soft-bristled brush to gently buff the nap of the suede in one direction to restore its texture.

Shoes feel too loose or unstable

Adjust the lace tension specifically around the midfoot, or consider using a thicker insert if you have a lower-volume foot.

Water spots on the suede

Let the shoes dry completely, then use a suede eraser or brush to gently work out the spots.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptionally versatile for daily wear and light activity
  • Durable suede and mesh construction for long-term use
  • Accommodating fit due to the wider last design
  • Timeless, iconic style that pairs with many outfits

Cons

  • Not intended for high-performance athletic racing
  • Suede material requires careful cleaning to maintain appearance
  • Heavier feel compared to modern ultra-lightweight trainers

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because the 574 uses suede as a primary material, proper care is essential to preserve its look. Keep the shoes away from extreme moisture or mud to prevent permanent staining. For general cleaning, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dirt after each use. If the shoes get wet, air-dry them naturally at room temperature, keeping them away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp or stiffen the suede. For deep cleaning, utilize a specialized suede cleaner and follow the product instructions carefully. Ensure you are wearing the correct UK size, as the wider last may feel more spacious than narrow-fit athletic shoes.
