I missed the cue in the online description that these are actually men’s sizes. I have a narrow female foot that’s just not shaped like a man’s foot. I also hated the way that the top edge from the heel to the tongue is raw and unfinished looking. It exposes an inner layer of thin foam and looks as if it would deteriorate quickly. These are the first NB shoes I have ever not liked, but they went back to Nordstrom’s. First NB stopped making the 10 1/2 Narrow shoe size that was best for me, and now they are trying to fit women into men’s shoes.

Love the 574 model of sneaker- right level of support and cushion. Comfortable for everyday walking or pounding the pavement at Disney. Glad to see the brand making them more interesting and fashion forward with the added patterns! Subtle not obnoxious as some sneaker designs can be.

These sneakers are comfortable and good looking. I generally wear an 8.5,but purchased a 9 in these and they’re perfect.I tend to have a more narrow foot,so I use a “heel cup” and lace the shoe tightly. The shoe gives plenty of support in the arch and even though there’s mesh in the front of the shoe,there’s enough structure to give support.

I purchased these in tan because I was looking for a tan sneaker that was also cute. These shoes delivered. I took them with me on vacation, had never worn them before and they felt like they had already been broken in. So comfortable and as a woman who wears a size 12 I love this option to expand availability by having a gender inclusive shoe.
The shoes are very cute and comfortable. Comfortable only after I purchased a pair of insoles for $50 since the shoes didn't come with any. I asked customer service to send me a pair of insoles, but they said I would have to return the shoes. There are multiple reasons why that would not work for me. I purchased these shoes based on recommendations regarding high arch support, which is mostly due to a shoe's insole. In the end I could have purchased cheaper shoes and bought the insoles that I have now.
1st time NB customer here, but already looking for my next pair. My future daughter-in-law got these in October. I got them for Christmas. My daughter then ordered a pair days later. We all love the Cheetah print in the 574. On the days I wear them I have less hip and foot pain, too. I will be buying more patterns/colors.
Wish they came in more colors. So comfortable. I severely injured my ankle last year and need special orthotics. I can wear them in these shoes and be comfortable without sacrificing style. I usually wear a 10-11 in womens, depending upon the shoe, and a 10 fits fine.
I bought these New Balances for general walking and workout purposes. They are great and they look very nice as well (especially the color scheme). They fit true to the description and are comfortable.
Gender Inclusive 574 SneakerSelect a rating below(Select 5 stars = Excellent, 1 star = Poor)★★★★★★★★★☆★★★☆☆★★☆☆☆★☆☆☆☆Gender Inclusive 574 SneakerYour reviewNordstrom mishandled this order from the get go. First, I never received an email telling me that my order was ready for pick up. My first clue was an email asking for a review of my purchase. Second, There was no apology when I mentioned this to the customer service rep. Third, we opened the box when we got home only to find that Nordstrom had substituted the shoe I had ordered for a different one. The one I ordered had bungee laces and they substituted a shoe with standard laces. This is going back on Sunday when we will be at the mall.
This is my first pair of new balance sneakers. It was very difficult to judge what size to get based on reviews. I’m typically a women’s size 9 or 9.5 and I went with 9.5. My initial impression was that they were way too big as my feet were slipping out of them. Actually, though, the length seems right - they just run wide in the back/heel. I laced them more tightly and it seems like that will help keep them from slipping. I hope so because the style is just what I was looking for!
