Afterpay Available - '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.

This is by far the best choice I have made for a shoe. This will be my second pair and I am considering getting a back up. The price is great compared to other shoe prices for style, comfort and quality. I receive many compliments on my shoe. Shoe needs to have a bigger variety in colors. Began with the gray, purchased the black for work and am considering the green for style. You will love, fits like a glove and runs true to size.

I buy NB sneakers because my feet are weird and hard to fit. These shoes meet all my needs for comfort-arch support, adjustable lacing options, narrow enough heel. In addition, they look nice and add some height. I was thinking I'd just wear them on the weekend, but one day I wore them to work with black dress pants, and received lots of compliments.

If not this shoe is not for you. I have the grey ones and have received lots of compliments from different age brackets. Beware white platform area scuffs pretty easy but so far it has been simple to clean. I noticed my feet seem to be sore after a day of wearing them but in a post workout kinda way if that makes sense. I imagine this is due to the firm platform- didn't affect me wearing them the next day though. I use them for fashion purposes only. Size 9 TTS, stretched a little because initially the front top half were snug out the box. Debating on getting another color... Try them, you may be pleasantly surprised!

My fiirst platform sneakers, super comfy,great support when walking around. Love the color.Just wish it had a little less padding or cushion around the ankles for a more sleek look.
I adore these 574+! They are so adorable! I have the black, green and pink. They give more support than the regular 574s I've had before. Just wish they offered more color options. Maybe a purple pair!!!
I use these shoes for casual walking, style and comfort. These shoes are stylish, comfortable and cute. Everyone loves them. I get lots of compliments. The shoes are not tight at all. I usually wear a size 10 in woman's shoes but I brought a 10.5. I'm aiming to get all the other colors. I purchased the pink ones.
I purchased these a few days before the superbowl and was surprised at how fast I received them! They were sooo comfortable and I especially love the support from the platform which was a pleasure to my ankles, knees and hips!!! Though I'm not an older person, I can definitely feel the difference with these particular sneakers in comparison to the ones that have lower leverage. They were also true to size and comfortable in the toe area which is sometimes a problem with sneakers. I'm hoping to purchase the white and pink colors as well for the summer months. Nice job New Balance!!
This is the iconic 574, ELEVATED! I have these in every color. I wear them for 10 hour workdays in the hospital. My feet feel great in them all day. I have worn my others with crops, sweats, leggings and dresses- they look great with everything. And let's not forget denim: skinny, straight and wide legs are all elevated with this classic that has risen to new heights. Fit-wise, I am usually either an 8 or 8.5 depending on the shoe. I tried both with these and kept the 8.5 because with a thicker sock for fall/winter, the 8.5 was a touch more comfy. Without socks, they are roomy, but not sloppy. I think new balance could put these out in more color ways and keep them in the line-up forever. Nothing too crazy that would compete with the platform, just a nice bright pop ... MoreThis is the iconic 574, ELEVATED! I have these in every color. I wear them for 10 hour workdays in the hospital.

These don't run small. Get your size, if you don't know your shoe size, figure it out. Don't listen to the other reviews. I listened to the reviews saying go a 1/2 up now I have these big shoes that no New Balance store will accept as a return. I have to ship them back and cover the costs out of pocket.
I was debating to get these or some cute dad shoes. I saw multiple pictures of these shoes online and decided the grey pair are beautiful and won't get as dirty as the white pair but still give me that bright look compared to the black ones. These are so unique and elegant. SIZE UPPPPP. I am a size 8 and 1/2 in all shoes but saw one review saying they are narrow. Yes this is true so I got a size 9 and they fit perfectly (a little snug, but overtime they will stretch).
