Product Information
Full details
The New Balance 574 trainers are an iconic choice for active kids who need a reliable, everyday shoe that balances style with rugged durability. Designed for versatility, these trainers feature a hybrid road-trail construction that excels on school playgrounds and weekend outings alike, though they lack the high-tech performance features found in specialized athletic gear.

FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, because they are made of leather, machine washing can damage the material and the shoe's structure. Clean with a damp cloth instead.
Do these shoes provide arch support?
While they do not have specialized medical-grade orthotic tech, the 574 series is known for its supportive and stable base suitable for everyday walking.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
Yes, the 574 is designed with a naturally broader fit, making them a great option for kids who find standard trainers too narrow.
Can I use these for sports like soccer?
These are lifestyle trainers, not soccer boots. They provide great support for walking and casual play, but lack the grip and structure for field sports.
How do I know if the size 3.5 is right for my child?
Measure the child's foot in centimeters and compare it to the New Balance youth size guide; ensure there is about a thumb's width of space at the front.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight during the day
Adjust the lace tension starting from the bottom eyelets upward to loosen the fit across the midfoot.
Surface scuffs on the leather
Use a specialized leather conditioner or a matching cream polish to buff out minor surface scuffs.
Laces constantly coming untied
Ensure you are using a double knot or look for replacement laces with a higher friction texture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your New Balance 574 trainers, proper care is essential. Since the upper is constructed from leather, avoid submerging them in water. Instead, use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For stubborn stains, use a leather-safe cleaner. Regularly check the laces for wear and ensure the insole remains dry to prevent odors. When storing, keep the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather cracking.
