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.

These are good-looking sneakers, but they weren't the right fit for me. I have somewhat wide feet, and my typical size 9 was too small so I returned and ordered a 9.5. The length and width were just right for my toes, but the heel was loose. Sadly these went back.

I am huge fan of 574 I have few pairs. I love the colorways that New Balance uses, they are some of the best color combos of any sneaker brand. I love the comfort of 574 and most importantly I love that fact this is a timeless style that looks great with almost anything you wear. These in particular provided a clean natural aesthetic that I will be rocking the whole summer! The grey was a little lighter than I expected but was still very nice. I love the contrast of the green, it gave the colorway a very 70's sort of color vibe if that makes sense. I have worn it with tubed striped socks that really play into that 70's/80's vibe. Hands down one of my favorite color combinations of any sneaker brand I own!

Have been purchasing the 574 style of New Balance shoes for 10+ years now. Love the depth and angle of the soles and the width. I do add an insert for more stability. I do prefer the ones that have the padded tongue but not as many have that now. Also prefer the ones that have the leather/suede/faux leather toes to help keep out the wet. It is sometimes hard to know which have which. Have been purchasing these online since can't find the variety for the 574 styles in the store.

These run pretty true to size. My feet are just slightly wide and I'm glad that I got the wide version. They feel comfortable with a normal cushioned sock but would feel loose with one of those little thin footie socks. They look great but do feel kind of cheap. They're definitely a ""fashion"" shoe.

In all running shoes I am a 9. Even in other new balance. For some reason, this shoe is shorter than my other 9’s. It is very comfortable though and has plenty of space in the toe box. I reordered in a 9.5 and I’m hoping the heel isn’t lose. Gorgeous spring sneakers!
All I can say is, thank god comfortable shoes are fashionable again. Wearing business casual to work, it's nice to have a true comfort shoe for errands that is also on trend! These are everything you hope; comfortable, light, beautiful pop of color while staying primarily neutral. I was between these and a mostly beige version of the 574 since light neutrals are so fashionable right now and was afraid these would be too colorful to match easily, but they're perfect. They're my go-to comfort shoe and I love them!! Only thing is that the suede toe can get dirty quickly but I don't really mind in a comfort shoe in LA where it doesn't rain much.
I now own two pairs of these sneakers, in two colors, for casual wear (not for more athletic pursuits, as they're a softer version of a dedicated walking or running shoe). They're super comfortable, and I've unexpectedly received several unsolicited compliments while wearing them from people who say they like the "old school" look.
i walk a lot every day and the nb sneakers are perfect. i have been wearing nb sneakers ever since my bunion surgery in 1985. since i wear only a D width my choices are limited. i ordered by mail (with great hesitatiion) my usual size, put in my orthodics and have been wearing them regularly . even my leg cramps have lessened and i wonder if it might be due to the excellent support of my new balance sneakers. i am so grateful that even with many changes, i was able to buy these sneakers on sale with the added feature of the ukranian flag -blue and yellow. Thank you, new balance, for maintaining such a great quality product.
