This model runs small, you may consider ordering up from your normal size. ‘The most New Balance shoe ever' says it all, right? No, actually. The 574 might be our unlikeliest icon. The 574 was built to be a reliable shoe that could do a lot of different things well rather than as a platform for revolutionary technology, or as a premium materials showcase. This unassuming, unpretentious versatility is exactly what launched the 574 into the ranks of all-time greats. As hybrid road/trail design built on a wider last than the previous generation's narrow racing silhouettes, the 574 offered a uniquely versatile mix of new, different, uncomplicated, rugged, durable, and comfortable that was adopted as a closet staple across the globe. That's why today, the 574 is synonymous with the boundary defying New Balance style, and worn by anyone.

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.

Really nice quality and nice quality. They are good running and casual wear shoes. I enjoy them as running shoes as I'm not usually a fan of how some other brands look. They are super comfortable. My only complaint is that the NB logo on the outside of the shoe is like a little patch, and it is a little flimsy. I don't think it will come off but the little flaps that are sticking out from it always make me paranoid.

Okay so for a minute I was contemplating getting these but was confused by the color description saying grey and navy. Even though the photos clearly look brown/brown. I just didn't want to be surprised with a pair that was actually grey and navy. New Balance fix that color description. I've been looking for a classic brown pair for daily activities. I finally saw them in a champs store but they didn't have my size. I jumped the gun and got them before my size sold out again. The colors are perfect and size is perfect. My feet measure 7 1/2 so I get size 8 womens and its just enough space for me

I bought them a month ago and I am super happy as I made an excellent choice by choosing and buying my beautiful pair of trainers NB! In reality, they are even much more than I was hoping for and much more beautiful and comfortable than I was expecting. And I also got a great deal on them! I enjoyed a nice discount on them at that time! Thank you, Asos!
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 shoes because I needed something to wear on last minute trip to Paris. I tried them on before I left and felt like they were comfortable so I took them. On the upside, they weren't expensive, but I felt a little like I was wearing clown shoes. They just felt big and clunky, not heavy, not light. Def not the chic look I was going for. I don't think I'll be wearing them again. 3 and a half stars.
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.
I love this model but I have to say a few things: 1) it just has become impossible to find this model in smaller sizes (5.5 and 6). It's sold out and New Balance doesn't give you an option to leave your email address to get notified when it's back in stock until all sizes have been sold out. This is an awful customer experience. 2) I had the same sneakers model a few years ago and the quality was WAY better. This time (you can see in the picture) these sneakers came with many flaws including the name fading in the back; a piece of plastic sticking out, etc.It's a shame that New Balance (an awesome brand) is making it so hard for folks to purchase such a regular model but when they finally do it comes with a low-quality product.
The quality of the products on this site is questionable. I order a lot of goods, especially shoes. This model came with a defective sole. The suede is poorly glued and crooked. Previously, the manufacturer would have disposed of such defects, but now he sells it at a discount. Brings a bad reputation to the brand
Having worn my previous pair of New Balance trainers out I decided to purchase another pair. Unfortunately these 'replacements, left me cold. Not only could I barely get them on despite the fact I have very narrow feet but the tongue edges had the foam exposed leaving the whole trainer with an unfinished appearance. Other reviews said this was barely noticeable but unfortunately it was a part of the design that I found particularly unappealing. Very disappointed.
