Great shoe! Great feel, light weight, and the comfort I've come to expect from NB! Get complements on the color combo daily...

This is my second pair of NB, same model. They're very comfortable and great for walking around the city. I normally wear 8.5 but that felt a bit too tight, so I had to get them in 9. I'd definitely buy them again.

Outstanding service with VIP Zappos...24 hours and they were delivered to my cube at work. These shoes are great, they wear well, I have always worn a size 12, these are a 13, but no biggie, that is why I keep ordering what works for me, this is my 3rd pair from Zappos. So comfortable, put them on and did a mile + walk at coffee break...love my NB 574.

I bought my second pair of these recently. When I first put them on, they felt narrow around the ball of my foot. I noticed this with the first and second pairs, so I figure that's just the way they fit my feet. They break in easily and are durable for the amount of walking I do, with my previous pair lasting 8 months.

These are great, I've been rocking them for about a year. They don't have the color I bought anymore, but they look awesome. I'm back to possibly by another pair, so that tells you how good they are.

Got this shoe because I heard excellent review from my brother. Super comfortable, fits great. Blah Blah Blah. The biggest things I noticed was that the actual "footprint" of the shoe was quite wide, closer to the width of a boot than sneaker, I've typically worn Vans. Also, the sole is much thicker, especially in the heel. Just walking and wearing them around, not a big deal, but they did take some getting used to for driving. I drive a manual transmission and it took some time getting comfortable driving in them. I actually have to move my seat back a "click" when I wear these. Also have to work on placement, so I don't graze the next pedal. These aren't negatives, just what I noticed. Driving an auto trans, probably wouldn't even notice a difference.

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.

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!

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.

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

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.

Fantastic sneakers. I wear them for everyday use, not for running or working out (which is what they're likely intended for), but they suit me just fine. Definitely would buy these again. They look exactly like the picture shows.

I wanted red sneakers in a wide width, and I knew that New Balance could accommodate me. Unfortunately, the initially pair of 10.5 EE's I recently were surprisingly too narrow. I had never had NB sneakers cut that narrow. Zappos enthusiastically send out a replacement order. I found the same problem. But I loved the look of the shows, and they were MOSTLY comfortable. I have them two weeks. The discomfort was gone. They truly needed to be broken in. And now I love them.

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.

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.

These are nice looking shoes. I have a wide foot and always need a D or E.. these were only available in EE.. So i took a chance, but these were still too narrow.. These shoes run on the narrow side.I never owned a NB show before, Unfortunately these have to be returned.

The good: I walk around NYC a lot but recently just got back from a trip at Disney World. I must have walked ENDLESSLY. for the exception of the last cpl hours of the last day (I stayed a week) my feet were comfortable, no pain; not tired..in fact, how my feet were feeling so great they were not even on my mind. by the 5th day of constant walking I said out loud "my feet feel great, these shoes are awesome!" the meh: I'm not a fan of the tread. even when first previewing the shoe, I was comprehensive because there's a lack. the shoes tend to slide and slip pending the kind of surface when it's raining or if it's wet. it took a couple days to adjust my step so I could walk without incident. Even then, I'd love a redesign on the tread. overall: tread missteps aside, it's a solid shoe. feels great, is very comfortable and would definitely order a new pair when needed
