Customer Reviews New Balance Classics M574

Received these and appearance was as displayed. However, they were too small/tight, etc. This was in EE? Don't think so.

This is a great sneaker! Bought it as replacement to my NB 903s which they don't make anymore. Bought the Grey 2 colored pair and absolutely love the color! It's like a brownish-grey that matches anything I wear. Grabbed them on sale at a great price. I have wide feet so I bought them EE and a 1/2 size up and they fit great! Highly recommended sneaker for low-top NB fans!

The New Balance 574 has been my favorite shoe for all occassions for several years. I can't wait to get a new pair and feel the fantastic degree of comfort. I get a new pair about avery year, and put close to 1,000 walking miles on them a year, so the soles are pretty worn, but the fabric, stitching and foam material are still in very good condition. Zappos has proben to be quite a value and has a phenomenol selection. I will be placing my annual purchase sometime this week, plenty of colors to make a selection.

New Balance must use different lasts on this "classic" line of shoes. I can easily and comfortably fit into a 9.5 US 2E in most of their other athletic shoes. However, even a size 10 2E (wide) is too narrow for my foot. Why can't shoe manufacturers get fit down properly? Can you imagine if tires were made the same way? You would have to try several even from the same maker on your car's wheels before knowing whether they would fit. Shoe sizing is ridiculous.

Got the all black for work at a restaurant. Couldn't be happier. Size 14 was true to size.

This shoe is second to none in my book. I bought a pair from the mall back in 05 and haven't looked back. I just ordered my 6th pair today. I have a wide FLAT foot and these shoes are nothing short of perfect in comfort, style, and size. Great for walking, great for a meet and greet at the bar, driving, you name it the shoe comes through. So do yourself a favor, if you've wide flat feet and want some shoes that look and perform amazing, get yourself a pair of 574's from New Balance!

Great shoe. I got these for my boyfriend and he walks a lot and had no foot problems! I've owned some before and love them!

Good shoes that were comfortable to walk on. I wore them every day for a year and they worked wonderfully.

New Balance always makes a good quality product. This was my first Zappos order and the website, follow ups, and delivery were excellent. I will use Zappos again.

While you may not run a marathon in these, they serve their purpose as a great all around pair of sneakers. I have work 574's for years, and the new colorways keep the style fresh, and allow me to never get bored of them. Sneaker is comfortable, sizing runs a bit small...half a size. Support is okay, and they are pretty light. I have the grey/orange/light blue version now, and they go great with khakis and jeans.

Quick shipping. Returned first pair because they were a bit large, no questions asked. Second pair fit fine and very comfortable.

New Balance has a quality problem. I have been ordering New Balance Classics Size D for years, and recently ordered two pair, Grey 2 and Blue 3. I had to return the Grey 2 pair because they were too narrow. I hoped maybe the width problem was with that particular color, and Zappos customer service was great, replacing them with Navy 2. So far the replacement pair has been fine. However, the Blue 3 pair of shoes also has a problem. At first they felt great, the right size and width. However, after using them off and on for a couple of months, I have found that each time I wear them my heels, ankles, shins and knees hurt. I think the arch and/or sole are off just enough to cause me to walk improperly. It is too late for me to return this pair, and it is strike 2 for New Balance. I think it is time to find a new brand.

I bought these because I love the style, but I can't say the same for the comfort. These shoes are extremely narrow (if you have a wider foot). I upgraded to the EE, but my foot still cramps after a couple hours of wear. Great looking shoe, though.

Very comfortable and gray color is much nicer than the classic 574 gray, which is more of a rock/dirt color these days.

These shoes are great. My husband has a large wide foot and hates shopping. this is the fourth pair of shoes I have purchased for him and Zappos has never never disappointed us. Thanks Zappos!

Bought these for my son. He used them for middle school track. He said that they fit well. My son has large feet, and I was glad to be able to find these shoes in his size.

Great look for an all purpose sneaker, I found this shoe to be very versatile. It's great for any occasion whether that be going to the gym, hanging out with friends, or part of your casual Friday wardrobe. It is a bit small but once you give time to break it in, it'll stretch out a bit.

Have been wearing 574s on and off for 10 years; they're perfect everyday sneakers, good for walking or the gym. Only complain with the all-black colorway is that the "N" on the side and the rear heel upper are shiny, not matte like the rest of the shoe. But that's a minor aesthetic quibble. Great value, and importantly available in wide sizes.

Excellent comfort, relatively light weight, and they look great. I would say this runs about 1 sizes small, even against other New Balance shoes.

I was looking forward to sporting these retro shoes, but the comfort factor just was not there. I ordered the EE width, and they felt more narrow than other New Balance shoes that I have ordered in the past. I had to return them.

Love the shoes, exactly what I wanted and they fit great. Had to return the second pair As I got them a bit small. I have to say it was the pair I had to return that will make me a loyal customer. You were great with the return and you made it so easy for me! I truly appreciate that. You give great service, and delivery. Thank you.

Nice shoes but they are a tight fit. Maybe New Balance runs a little small, I'm not sure these are my first pair but they were definitely a 1/2 size too small compared to all my other shoes. And they don't come in half sizes unfortunately.

I am giving these shoes a 1 star rating not because of the comfort or style. I am giving this rating because after only 1 month of wearing them with normal use, they are developing a couple holes in the faux suede body of the shoe. This is VERY disappointing because I love the way they feel and look. They seem to be made with cheap materials. Bummer!
