Customer Reviews New Balance Classics M574

Shoes feel narrower than I expected. That caused some discomfort from the top of the shoe pressing on my foot. I expect that this will go away as the show stretches.

These were a bit too tight when I first put them on, especially in the forefoot. But they loosened up after I wore them four or five times, and now they fit like a glove and are very comfortable.

Super cute shoes - look awesome with athletic wear. come in wide shoes that actually fit!

This shoe has lasted 9 months of hard daily wear with my 12-year-old son. Just now is starting to separate from the sole. We'll glue it back and hope for another few months of wear until he grows out of them!

I have been wearing 574's for 5 plus years. They are great for me. I have serious disc issues in my back and these sneakers allow me to walk in relative comfort better than any other I have found. They're comfortable, stylish, and last a long time. I am wearing a pair that is seriously old at the moment. They're splendid. New ones I just got will need a little breaking in. The size/fit is perfect.

Thank goodness for Zappos as my grandson needs these for his school uniform. He wears a size 15W so we cannot get them in stores. Zappos save the day (year).

Bought this for my active 12-year-old for heavy daily use. 6 months in, he is still wearing this shoe daily. He doesn't untie them every time he takes them off, so the back is starting to wear out, but there is still plenty of sole and support left in the shoe. Good quality!

My son loves his "cruisers" as the high school crowd is calling this classic shoe. Out of character for him, he also has commented on how comfortable they are. And as usual with Zappos, we receive orders quickly.

Great shoes and great service from Zappos. I originally ordered my size but they were too small. Within 24 hours of caking I had shoes that fit.

This shoe is my husbands second pair within 1 year, not because they wore out, but that he couldn't stop raving about how much he loved the first pair. I bought the red and they are just like the picture, great color. These give a little more wiggle room/width so you can wear them all day without feeling sore or tight. Super comfy and made well.

Overall, I'm very happy with these shoes. I'm an 8.5 or 9 depending on the shoe and had to go with the 9 on this one since the 8.5 was way too tight. The gray color is also significantly lighter than in the picture (the actual shoe is more of an ash color), but all in all, it's a very comfortable shoe and I'm quite satisfied with the purchase. Also, Zappos' return policy was super easy. When I exchanged the 8.5s for the 9, it was no trouble at all and very quick!

These shoes are awesome. Not only are they super comfortable they're pretty stylish too. Definitely recommend for fashion or as training shoe.

My first experience ordering shoes on-line...and I couldn't be happier! I have strange feet and always like to try-on first. With Zappos generous return policy, thought I'd give it a try. Needed a wide, and it fits great. Heel is a little too wide. Nylon mesh is heavier than I expected...which I really wanted this time of year. Just a comfortable, knock-around shoe. Grey color doesn't show dirt too bad. Minimal tread is nice for not tracking-in lots of crud. AND, it clued me that the New Balance brand fits me well. Thanks, Zappos!

These are beautiful shoes and are definitely worth the cost. They look exactly as pictured on the website.q

The most comfortable casual shoe I've ever had. fairly cheap. many arch support. so swag. buying another pair after having a pair for 3 years of wear.

These are great looking shoes. Unfortunately they are very small in sizes. Took two returns to finally get a fit. Luckily Zappos offers the free returns. Great company!

I've been wearing New Balance Classics for the last 12 years because of how comfortable they are and I like the style of them. I got these a couple of weeks ago and they feel great.

I normally wear a 10.5 D and I ordered a 11 EE and the shoes were a perfect fit. Shoes needed zero break in. Very happy with them. Hope that last a while. Had Sketchers previously but they kept falling apart too soon.

I purchased these for my son and he loves them. He wanted something comfortable for walking back and forth to campus.

Great shoes! Now have 3 pair and enjoy each very much! Recommend to everyone and very comfortable!

These shoes are comfortable as having a million kittens wrapped around your feet. If I had to scour the earth for the last pair of these, I would be prepared to risk my life in a Thunderdome type scenario to obtain them.

This sneaker runs narrow. After reading reviews online i ordered them in wide (EE) and this is a perfect fit for me. Very comfortable kicks and I will be ordering more pairs in the future.

Very comfortable and looks great. Sizing - the size I wear in women's in the model 574 is 8.5 (that's half a size bigger than any other running shoe brand; New Balance runs small in my experience). So downsizing for the men's version is supposed to be by 1.5 sizes so I got the 7. It feels loose (looser than the women's 8.5) but not so loose that I need to return it. I'm going to add a thin Dr. Scholl's insole on top of the existing insole to hopefully get it to be just a bit snugger so I don't feel like my feet are sloshing around. I do have skinny feet - not narrow but thin from top to bottom so I think that's part of why it feels a little big on me.

Cool-looking shoes but the wide EE size was still too narrow. I started buying wide widths which are much more comfortable. Maybe I have Hulk feet but these sneakers were crazy narrow.
