FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for sports activities?

The 574 trainers are designed for versatility and everyday wear, offering good durability and comfort. For highly specialized sports requiring specific performance features, dedicated sports shoes might be more appropriate.

How should I clean the suede material on these trainers?

Gently brush off loose dirt with a suede brush. For stains, use a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth. Always allow them to air dry away from heat.

What does 'Hook & Loop' mean for the closure?

Hook & Loop refers to the Velcro-style closure system, which uses a hook-and-loop fastening mechanism that is easy for children to open and close themselves.

Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?

While the suede offers some protection, these trainers are not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the material.

How do I ensure I am buying the correct size?

It is recommended to measure your child's foot from heel to toe and compare it with the New Balance sizing chart. Ensure there is a little room for growth, but not so much that the shoe is loose.

What is the main difference between the suede and leather versions of the 574?

The primary difference lies in the upper material. Suede offers a classic, soft texture but requires more careful cleaning, while leather is generally more durable and easier to wipe clean.

Are these trainers available in other colors?

The New Balance 574 series is available in a variety of colors. This guide specifically details the Grey/White variant. Please check product listings for other available color options.

Troubleshooting

Hook & Loop closure not sticking

Ensure the hook and loop surfaces are clean and free from lint or debris. Gently brush them to restore adhesion.

Suede appears dirty or stained

Use a specialized suede cleaner or a dry suede brush for light dirt. For tougher stains, consult specific suede cleaning guides or professional cleaning services.

Shoes feel too tight or loose

Adjust the Hook & Loop straps for a more secure or relaxed fit. If the issue persists, double-check the sizing against a foot measurement.
