New Balance Classics M574 SKU #117623(View on Zappos.com Classic)

I love my M574\'s. The retro look is appealing but the comfort and durability are what make them stand out. I\'ve had mine for a year and a half and they\'re still holding up after daily use.

Very impressed - These shoes are the best ever. I have owned three pairs now. I have never considered buying a wide sized shoe, but after wearing the first two pairs for a long time, I noticed a little bulge where my pinky toe was sticking out. I didn't really feel that the shoes were too narrow, quite the opposite… they felt great, but this time around I decided to buy the wider size, and it turned out to be a great decision. They fit like a dream. A great all around shoe. I wouldn't run in it though.

The shoe fits! I'm a big guy with a big foot, so big apparently I need to buy all my shoes online! The New Balance is great, comfortable, and gives better arch support than most shoes I've worn in the past. I just wish I could keep them the way they look the first day out of the box. As a bonus Zappos gave me free next day shipping too!

The only shoe that fits - New Balance Classic M574 is about the only shoe that I have ever found that fits right. My toes are spread out from walking barefoot for many years. M574 has room for my toes and I am so thankful. I like the Grey/Silver/White ones. Please do not stop making them.

Great Walking Shoes. I do a LOT of city walking, and as a result I have a few demands of my footwear, 1. Comfort. I love my full brogue wing tips from Church's, however, for city walking, my Newbies are more comfortable. They have good materials and padding in the right spot for my foot shape. I never have to worry about a blister from a poorly constructed part of the shoe. This aspect is sadly not an industry standard. 2. Cushion. These shoes got it, and how! 3. Breathability. With the amount of walking I do, shoes that breathe are a necessity. These have a nylon mesh above the toes which help with wicking away moisture. 4. Lightweight. These shoes weigh very little, which helps prevent fatigue when walking long distances. 5. Look. The last thing I want to look like is one of those old men in the gym who are wearing the same white sneakers they bought when Reagan was in office. You know the ones I'm talking about, the ones whose shoes are now cracked and weather checked just like the tires on grandpa’s station wagon. On the other hand, I don't feel the need for my footwear to look as if it was inspired by the latest Kanye West video with excessive splashes of day-glo colors. I need functionality without looking like a peacock, thank you very much. And these work well for that.

One of the Better sneakers I have used!! For some strange anatomical reason, my left toe seems to want to protrude through the cap of any shoe that I wear. Sometimes the cap expands on its own and accommodates the truant toe, and others haven’t, causing me endless pain and to discard fairly new shoes. On this occasion, the salesperson suggested that I order a half size bigger shoe. It worked! Thank you Zappos.

Sport shoe - Exactly what I wanted for a Christmas gift. The style was exactly what I wanted and the fit was right.

Newbies - Great shoes, great service. Definitely some of my favorite shoes I've ever owned.

Love these shoes - This was my first Zappos order and it was a good one. These shoes are very comfortable. I wanted a different style and Zappos was out of stock but I’m very happy with the style I did select. Would recommend these shoes for sure.
