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.

Wow Zappos! I placed my order yesterday and had my shoes the next morning! I was a little hesitant about ordering these NBs since I last wore this style in the late 1990s, but I forgot how nice they look and the arch support they offer! The width is a *tad* snug, but nowhere near approaching a level of uncomfort. They are also true to size. A great shoe!

Great looks, pretty good overall - Not as good as the American made NBs, but a solid pair of good looking sneakers. Wish they made the 4E - but a half size larger than normal works for me with the 2E.

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!

M574 - navy/teal - The shoes arrived only a few days after I ordered them and were very true-to-size. They feel great on the foot, are very comfortable and look great with lots of different shades of blues and grays. I would recommend these shoes to anyone who likes New Balance.

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.

For running, I have worn NB 991/992 7.5EE for almost a decade. So I decided to get a pair of 574's for everyday use. It is built on a different last and is narrower than the 991/992 -- I had to order a full size up for the same fit. I had to make a few exchanges and they helped me out with speed and courtesy. Zappos rules. Fact.

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.

Nice looking shoe. I'm not sure if I will keep this shoe. I love the style; however, the bottom of the shoe is very flat which makes it feel weird when walking. The sole of the shoe is very hard as well, which makes me think it will hurt my feet if I wear them all day. One shoe had a bend in it; the bent one has noticeably different feel when walking.

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.

Newbies - Nice basic sneaker, but looks pretty bulky and square. Stretched out quite a bit and now fits a little loose.

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

I hope they never stop making these shoes. I purchased the NB M574 at a store. The EE width, 9.5 were perfect. While shopping one day, I found another pair on the sale rack but they were D width, 10. I bought them anyway and BLEH. A friend told me of Zappos and I decided to buy 2 more pairs in EE width, 9.5, different colors. I have found the only fashion sneaker I will wear... EVER. Did I say EVER? Yup, EVER. I have three pairs and plan on buying a couple more; much to the chagrin of my partner. I recommend them highly BUT make sure you have the correct size.

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.

Finally - In an attempt to find a shoe I could walk, exercise, and jog in, I purchased 3 other pairs of shoes through Zappos. No other shoe seemed to work. They were either too narrow or too tight in certain areas. I measured myself to double check my size that I had been wearing for the last 10 to 15 years and I was still there but the salesman explained that some running shoes are cut a little thin he suggested I go up a size or go wide. I did and it worked. I must also add that Zappos claim to have free shipping both ways is true. I've sent back about four pairs of shoes and was never charged on red cent for shipping. Thanks

Great shoe - A basic, casual, comfortable classic sneaker. My first pair lasted over 2 years with almost daily wear. I hope they never stop making this shoe.

Cool Classic Kicks - These shoes are really great, very comfortable and quite stylish; I have only worn them a few times but get compliments all day when they are on.

Good quality walking shoe - This is a good quality walking shoe. A little narrower than it should be, but it breaks in OK, and feels very comfortable to walk in.
