FAQs

What makes the 574 a versatile shoe?

The 574's versatility comes from its balanced design, combining durability, comfort, and a classic aesthetic that suits various activities and styles, unlike specialized performance shoes.

Are these trainers suitable for running?

While comfortable for walking and light activity, the 574 is primarily designed as a lifestyle trainer, not for high-impact running. It lacks the specialized cushioning and support found in dedicated running shoes.

How do I clean the suede and mesh parts?

Use a suede brush for dry dirt on suede and a specialized cleaner for stains. Mesh can be cleaned with mild soap and water. Always air dry away from direct heat.

What is the main difference between the 574 and other New Balance models?

The 574 is known for its iconic, unassuming versatility and comfort as an everyday shoe, whereas other models might focus on specific performance aspects (e.g., racing, trail running, or advanced cushioning technology).

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

The suede and mesh construction is not waterproof. While they can handle light moisture, prolonged exposure to heavy rain may damage the materials and is not recommended.

What does 'hybrid road/trail design' mean?

It means the shoe incorporates features suitable for both paved surfaces (road) and less smooth terrain (trail), offering a balance of stability and grip for varied environments.

Is this shoe suitable for wide feet?

The 574 is built on a wider last than previous narrow racing silhouettes, offering a generally comfortable fit. However, specific width options may vary by release, so checking availability for wide sizes is recommended.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dirty or stained

Use a suede brush for dry dirt. For stains, apply a specialized suede cleaner sparingly with a soft cloth and allow to air dry. Avoid using water excessively.

Mesh material is grimy

Gently clean with a soft brush or damp cloth using mild soap and water. Wipe clean and air dry.

Shoes feel less comfortable over time

Ensure the insoles are clean and dry. Consider replacing worn-out insoles for added support and cushioning.

Laces are dirty

Remove laces and wash them by hand with mild detergent or place them in a laundry bag and machine wash on a gentle cycle.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning Suede: Use a suede brush to remove loose dirt and dust. For stains, a specialized suede cleaner can be applied with a damp cloth, ensuring not to oversaturate the material. Always let suede air dry away from direct heat.
  2. Cleaning Mesh: A soft brush or cloth with mild soap and water can be used to clean mesh sections. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the fabric.
  3. Laces: Remove laces for separate washing by hand or in a laundry bag.
  4. Insoles: If removable, clean insoles with a damp cloth and allow them to air dry completely.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in a shoe tree or box to maintain their shape and protect them from dust.
