I chose the navy and white ones over the grey, because the grey is really a weird brown that has a hard time matching with anything. I don't know why they don't just call them beige or something. My biggest worry before ordering this shoe is that it would be a different shade of blue than in the photo. Online shopping is funny like that, sometimes they'll Photoshop the pictures to make them look amazing, but often the colors are really drab. Much to my surprise, and sheer happiness, they look identical to the pictures. Nice rich navy color, and they even come with two sets of laces. Puma used to make a shoe called the Cabana Racer II, and they made special ones for American Eagle that were navy and white and grey and white. You can't find them anymore, and these shoes are a perfect alternative for guys that wants a good pair of cool shoes to knock around in. They go good with dark jeans, and even provide arch support and comfort for your feet if you're doing some walking around. Size is true, but they definitely are a little narrower than I expected.Good for me since I have narrow feet and most shoes are pretty wide. I'd say go wider if you feel like normal shoes are too narrow. If not, these will provide great support!

It's a great shoe, but it's narrower than you'd think. I can wear a Sketchers 12 Wide, but the 12 wide New Balance was far too narrow. Once you get the size that fits it's a great shoe though.

The M574 offers classic New Balance style, comfort, and utility. This shoe is appropriate for so many everyday occasions. They're great in the gym (though I prefer Asics), at the bar, in the car, etc. When the dress code is loose casual, don the M574.

Super comfy shoes that are great for anyone looking for great cushioning in a wide shoe. I would not recommend them for running, due to the design and weight of the shoe, but are good for city walking.

I've had these a few weeks now and wear them about 5 days a week between an office job and standing on concrete in the studio and at the dance club. They broke in quickly and easily. There is a little extra room in the toe but my feet don't slide around - I don't think I would order a half size smaller because the width feels good at this size. I wouldn't mind more arch support, but I probably need orthopedic insoles after years of track spikes causing damage to my feet. I'll be buying more pairs of these sneakers in other colors!
