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.

I’ve worn these off and on indoors and outdoors. Played about 6 rounds of disc golf around Knoxville in them, which was my main purpose for buying. They’ve already started coming unglued at the front where the sole wraps up onto the main toe cap. The paint on the heel clip is coming off which is funny because it’s white plastic underneath, but they painted it a slight cream color. The suede got really hairy very fast when gently brushing them with a soft dry brush to get dirt and small grass seeds off them after wear. The foam midsole is really too soft to hold up to any errant sticks or rocks that may impact the surface, there’s some areas that are a bit ripped up. I’m not hard on my shoes and it’s not like I’ve been hiking in these in rugged trail. Lastly the ... MoreI’ve worn these off and on indoors and outdoors.

I’m not hard on my shoes and it’s not like I’ve been hiking in these in rugged trail. Lastly the shoe’s last is way too soft for any extended standing or high impact running. It’s totally a real casual sneaker and not worth it’s full retail price, I’m glad I paid much less for these by buying them from Going Going Gone, otherwise I’d be livid. New balance only has a year warranty for certain issues and these don’t qualify unlike other brands that stand behind their product. Just disappointed because I’ve had other NB that held up much better.

This is probably my 5th pair of 574s. I keep coming back because they're stylish, wide enough in the toe box, and comfortable. My complaint would be that the sole wears down relatively quickly (the treat is shallow so you notice it and eventually it'll be slippery on we sidewalks) and the insole is poor quality. I change out the insole when I buy it and that solves half the issue.
