FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

No, the New Balance 574 Grey Sky Blue trainers are designed as lifestyle sneakers and are not engineered for performance running. They offer comfort for casual wear but lack the specialized features of athletic running shoes.

What materials are these trainers made of?

The upper is primarily made of soft grey suede with sky blue mesh underlays. The iconic 'N' logo is accented with off-white leather, and the midsole and collar feature shades of white and cream. The outsole is durable black rubber.

How should I clean the suede parts?

For dry dirt, use a suede brush. For stains, a suede eraser is recommended. For tougher spots, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by air drying away from heat. Avoid soaking the suede.

What is the main benefit of the 574 model?

The main benefit is its blend of classic New Balance styling, comfortable construction, and durable materials, making it a versatile and stylish option for everyday casual wear.

What does 'Grey Sky Blue' refer to in the name?

'Grey Sky Blue' refers to the primary color scheme of the trainers, with a grey suede upper and accents of sky blue, cream, and off-white used on the mesh, logos, laces, and midsole.

Is this shoe good for walking long distances?

Yes, for casual walking and everyday activities, the trainers offer good comfort and support. However, for extensive or intense walking, consider shoes specifically designed for long-distance comfort.

What year was this specific colorway released?

The New Balance 574 Grey Sky Blue trainers were released on January 8, 2021.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or dirty

Use a dedicated suede brush to restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For stains, try a suede eraser or a lightly damp cloth, then allow to air dry.

Tread/grip seems reduced

Clean the rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove any embedded dirt or debris that might be affecting traction.

Insole feels uncomfortable

These trainers are designed for casual comfort. If additional cushioning is desired, consider using aftermarket insoles compatible with trainer footwear.

Color transfer from suede to socks

This can occasionally happen with new suede. Ensure the suede is dry and consider applying a suede protector spray, which can help seal the color.
