Choosing Laces for Men's, Women's and Unisex New Balance 574
Adult New Balance 574 shoes — men's, women's and unisex — use flat laces with 7 eyelet pairs, which suit a length of around 140 cm (55"). The 574 is New Balance's signature retro runner, and a flat lace keeps its classic look.
Match the original width and colour for a stock finish, or pick a contrast shade while keeping the flat shape and length. Measure the original lace rather than relying only on the model name.
Choosing Laces for Kids' New Balance 574
Kids' New Balance 574 shoes use shorter flat laces around 120 cm (47") across 6 eyelet pairs — shorter than the adult version because the shoe is smaller.
Shorter laces are easier for children to handle and tie. Measure the original lace to confirm the closest length before ordering.
Keeping the New Balance 574 Look
The 574 comes in countless colourways, so lace colour is an easy way to personalise it. A tonal flat lace keeps the original look, while a contrast colour can highlight the suede panels or the "N" logo.
Keep the flat shape and the correct length for your size so the shoe still laces up neatly across its eyelets.

How many eyelets does the New Balance 574 have?

What lace shape suits the New Balance 574?
The New Balance 574 uses flat laces, which suit its classic retro-running upper and keep the original look. A flat lace sits neatly across the eyelets and is the closest match to the stock style.
What width laces suit the New Balance 574?
A medium flat lace usually gives the 574 a familiar look — Pear's New Balance flat option (around 8 mm) is a close match. Measure the original width for the best fit in the eyelets.
Are New Balance 574 laces available waxed?
The 574 comes with flat laces as standard, and waxed flat laces are a popular aftermarket alternative — they add a slightly glossy finish, hold their shape more firmly and resist fraying and moisture, while keeping the same flat profile.
How do I measure my New Balance 574 laces for replacement?
Remove one lace, lay it flat without stretching it and measure from one aglet tip to the other. Also note the width and count the eyelet pairs as a secondary check, then match those to the closest available length.
Can I use no-tie laces on my New Balance 574?
Yes. Elastic no-tie flat laces let you slip the shoe on and off while keeping a laced appearance. Pear offers flat elastic and capsule-lock flat no-tie options suited to the New Balance 574.
Can I use different-coloured laces on my New Balance 574?
Yes. Swapping lace colour is one of the easiest ways to refresh a 574, and it pairs well with the shoe's many colourways. A contrast colour makes the shoe stand out, while a matching shade keeps the original look. Keep the flat shape, width and length close to the original for a clean fit.
How should I clean New Balance 574 shoelaces?
Remove the laces and wash them gently with mild detergent and cool or lukewarm water, then air-dry them fully. Avoid bleach and high heat, especially on coloured or waxed laces, as these can affect the finish.
Can I order custom New Balance 574 replacement laces from Pear Shoelace?
Yes. Pear Shoelace offers aftermarket laces suited to the New Balance 574 in different lengths, colours and widths, with selected aglet and personalised-text options. They are not original or OEM New Balance products.
