FAQs
What material are the New Balance 574 V trainers made of?
The uppers are primarily made of suede (77% leather), with 12% textile and 11% other materials. The lining is 100% textile, the cushioning is 100% textile, and the sole is a combination of 72% EVA and 28% rubber.
How do I clean the suede on these trainers?
For general cleaning, use a soft brush to remove dust and dirt. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner or a slightly damp cloth with a very mild soap solution, being careful not to saturate the material. Always allow to air dry.
Are these trainers suitable for sports?
These trainers are designed for casual wear and everyday activities. They offer good cushioning and grip for running and playing, but may not provide the specific support needed for intense athletic training.
How does the touch 'n' close fastening work?
The touch 'n' close fastening uses hook-and-loop technology, allowing the strap to be easily opened and closed by pressing the hook side onto the loop side, making them simple for children to manage themselves.
What is the main benefit of the 574 V design for toddlers?
The 574 V design offers a heritage aesthetic combined with practical features like the easy touch 'n' close fastening and a comfortable, supportive sole, making them stylish and functional for young children.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, especially due to the suede components. Hand cleaning as described in the care section is the best method to maintain their condition.
What age group are these trainers intended for?
These trainers are specifically designed for toddlers and young children, indicated by features like the touch 'n' close fastening and the sizing typically found in children's footwear ranges.
Troubleshooting
Touch 'n' close strap not sticking
Ensure the strap and the opposing surface are clean and free from debris. Rub firmly to secure the closure.
Suede appears dirty or stained
Use a specialized suede cleaner or a soft brush to gently lift dirt. For tougher stains, test a small, inconspicuous area with a damp cloth and mild soap before proceeding.
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Adjust the touch 'n' close straps for a more secure or relaxed fit. If the size is consistently incorrect, consider trying a different size.
Sole shows signs of wear
Inspect the sole for excessive wear. For minor scuffs, a damp cloth can clean the surface. Significant wear may indicate the shoes have reached the end of their lifespan.
