Classic New Balance shoe. Comfort and style. loosens up the more you wear it. Only grip is the shoe lace material is slippery and loosens up easily.

This shoe is amazing. By far my favorite pair, and I have a lot of shoes. I prefer them to just about any footwear. Great value, great look, great comfort, great shoe. A little wide, but not in a bad way at all. It just makes them more comfy!

I've worn these off an on for many years. I remember when the NB 574 was a top running shoe, but now I use these strictly as a casual shoe with jeans. They're comfortable and a good value.

I've been enjoying the same pair of classic 574 (in navy blue) for over 10 years now and they're still my favorite everyday sneaker to wear. They fit like a glove and there is no sign of tearing or the treads wearing out anytime soon. This new pair feels amazing just like my original and I'm confident it will last forever as well too. Get them!

I love Zappos - all items are authentic, their return policy is fabulous, it's my favorite web site of all time! I am a VIP and getting your items the very next day is the best ever. Thank you Zappos.

Comfortable, properly-fitting shoe, which is nice, and I like Zappos, too (and will probably shop from them again), but from a style point of view, I feel like this shoe is a little too young for me (50-year-old white guy who's used to those all-leather white-with-maybe-some-trim sneakers). It's kind of aggressively grey, know what I mean? So, even though it's grey, it's "colorful".

This is the first time I've had to return a New Balance shoe because it was too small. This shoe felt a size too small and very narrow.

The shoe is overall comfortable. At first, the front is a little narrow and, for me, hurt a little, but it will break in with use. This is the only reason I give them four stars for comfort. If you're going on a trip or planning to walk a lot, make sure you give these some time to break in before using them heavily. They are quite comfortable, and have a decent amount of support for the typical foot. Good walking shoes!

I bought these to replace a similar pair of size 9 1/2 black new balance sneakers for my son. He's worn his as his everyday shoes for almost 2 years.. They've worn well. Just thought it was time for a new pair, same size 9 1/2. Just received them but they didn't fit; too small. I checked sizes again, definitely 9 1/2, then compared shoes to each other. The new pair are visibly smaller than the old. Will return and try size 10.

Arrived in one day. Perfect fit..."D"...11. Many shoes, sandals, slippers ordered from Zappos. Completely satisfied with each purchase and service. I'm a Senior, too bad Zappos wasn't around 50 years ago.

These are an excellent pair of shoes (this is the second pair I buy). They are very durable, comfortable and have a great classic look, which makes them appropriate for many occasions.

I purchased it because of its classic "retro" styling. It runs small and by that I mean narrow. I usually and regularly wear an 8 & 1/2 but had to get a 9 in this shoe even though the New Balance store measured me at an 8 & 1/2. The shoe is comfortable.

These shoes look nice, but were too narrow; returned for another pair of New Balance in wide and my husband likes them much better.

Great shoes and a great fit. I wear a size 14 and Zappos has a great selection of NB in my size. I wanted something with a retro look and good arch support and these shoes have it over a comparable Adidas, which I like as well.

Bought these cute NBs for my husband, who felt like he might be a little old to wear his running shoes with jeans and not look ridiculous. Perfect mix of cute and casual, with a throwback feel.

Normally, I'd go for yet another NB 1123 (or it's predecessors)-wide toe box, sturdy- but when I saw the enthusiastic reviews of the NB 574 and a price nearly 1/2 the 1123, I got it. And You can add me to the lst of happy customers. Yes, it's maybe not going to last as long, and maybe not quite as sturdy, but it's comfortable, light and for my cardiac therapy workouts, just fine.

These are too narrow. I am surprised, as men's regular (D) width usually fits me.

I ordered these shoes in an 11.5, 2E. They are not double wide. My boyfriend has two other pairs of this exact style in different colors and they fit perfect. I guess there is an issue with the green ones, the label read 2E but they definitely are not.

I have been a New Balance lover for over a decade. From running to work shoes, they are comfortable and hold up as they wear-in. This particular line (574) have been an exceptional set of work shoes for me, have lasted a year+, and I don't plan on retiring them for at least another 2-3 months. I work in healthcare and 90% of my job is simply walking. It is imperative that I have shoes that grip well and also absorb the shock of walking on concrete for 10+ hours a day. I did not rate them for arch support because I always install Powerstep Protech insoles for all of my shoes. Though if I diid rate their factory arch support, I'd rate it as poor because the shoes do break-in very quickly. Outside of work, they're also good for most casual getups. Also, as a Tai Chi practitioner, once the soles wear out pretty well, they're great for that. I'll be buying another pair of these in the future.

Great everyday or walking shoe. They were a bit hard at first but after about a week of breaking them in they are good to go.

These shoes are great! I have bought New Balances before and regretfully strayed...but now they are back and will never leave again! These shoes are stylish and comfortable. The color scheme is good and grey sole is a great compromise to the white that you would usually see because it hides the dirt and keeps your shoes looking newer longer.

This shoe looks great! It is very comfortable and durable. The reason I purchased New balance is for better support. And it delivered. I would highly recommend for any one with Planters facitis.

These were/are a great buy for us. 13 year old wears a size 16. so finding a good shoe for a reasonable price is mandatory. These are great and the Green is very stylish.

I ordered this shoe form here because I already have one pair, so I got an other pair. I really like this shoe, I'm really picky with shoes. So for me to say its a good shoe, means its a good shoe.
