Product Information
Full details
The New Balance 574 is a quintessential retro-inspired trainer designed for adults seeking a blend of classic 80s/90s aesthetics and reliable everyday comfort. Featuring a premium mix of suede, mesh, and polyurethane, these shoes excel as versatile lifestyle footwear for casual wear. While they offer a durable rubber outsole and supportive fit, users should note that they are lifestyle trainers rather than high-performance technical running shoes, meaning they are best suited for walking and daily errands rather than intense athletic training.

FAQs
Are the New Balance 574s true to size?
Yes, most users find that the 574 fits true to size, though the suede/mesh upper may feel snug initially before breaking in.
Can I use these for marathon running?
No. While they were originally inspired by running technology, they are now designed as lifestyle and casual trainers, not for long-distance athletic performance.
How do I clean the mesh parts?
Use a soft-bristled brush or a cloth dampened with a gentle soap solution to dab the mesh areas carefully, avoiding over-saturation.
Are these shoes water-resistant?
No, the suede and textile upper materials are not water-resistant and may be damaged by water.
Can I remove the insoles?
The internal cushioning is designed as part of the shoe construction, but if you require custom orthotics, the factory insert can often be replaced.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or matted
Use a specialized suede brush to gently restore the texture of the material.
Stains on the surface
Apply a mild, suede-specific cleaner using a soft cloth, testing on a small, inconspicuous area first.
Laces becoming undone
Double-knot the laces or replace them with a slightly more textured lace material if the standard ones slip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 574 trainers last as long as possible, follow these guidelines:
- Suede Care: Use a dedicated suede brush to remove surface dirt and maintain the nap of the material. Do not submerge these shoes in water or place them in a washing machine.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade the colors of the suede and leather.
- Lacing: Ensure the laces are adjusted to your preferred tension before walking to prevent heel slippage and material wear.
- Compatibility: These trainers pair best with casual trousers, denim, or athletic-inspired loungewear due to their heritage silhouette.
