Customer Reviews New Balance Classics M574

I ordered these for my husband for Christmas, as they are his favorite style of shoe. They arrived within two days, and look great. He wears them often, and says they are very comfortable. This is probably the fifth or sixth pair of these shoes in this style that he owns, because he likes them so much.

Very comfortable shoe, great arch support. I was diagnosed with plantar fasciitis (34 years old), bought these the same week, and within two weeks of wearing these my foot was back to normal. I am not a runner, but I do a fair amount of walking at work. I have gotten compliments from friends and coworkers too. Go ahead and buy them already!

The shoe has been great. It's my first pair of classic NB sneakers. While I do love the fit as my toes are no longer cramped in the toe box as they are in many other sneakers, I did have a problem with the sneaker (and only the right one). The top front suede has ripped, and that was only three months ago. I do wear them a lot though...it's tough for me because they are the best pair of sneakers I have had in a while and I am not a stickler for looks, but I figure this should not happen.

These are my son's favorite shoes ever! He has been wearing them for years and was thrilled to get a new pair!

These were a present for my father who loves this style and they were a replacement for the ones he had worn out. They are his favorite brand/style. He was very happy that I could find them.

I chose the navy and white ones over the grey, because the grey is really a weird brown that has a hard time matching with anything. I don't know why they don't just call them beige or something. My biggest worry before ordering this shoe is that it would be a different shade of blue than in the photo. Online shopping is funny like that, sometimes they'll Photoshop the pictures to make them look amazing, but often the colors are really drab. Much to my surprise, and sheer happiness, they look identical to the pictures. Nice rich navy color, and they even come with two sets of laces. Puma used to make a shoe called the Cabana Racer II, and they made special ones for American Eagle that were navy and white and grey and white. You can't find them anymore, and these shoes are a perfect alternative for guys that wants a good pair of cool shoes to knock around in. They go good with dark jeans, and even provide arch support and comfort for your feet if you're doing some walking around. Size is true, but they definitely are a little narrower than I expected.Good for me since I have narrow feet and most shoes are pretty wide. I'd say go wider if you feel like normal shoes are too narrow. If not, these will provide great support!

I'm a long time New Balance wearer. These were dissapointing due to the cut-out below the ankle being too high. Would have sent them back if I hadn't already worn them outside.

These are hard to beat for casual shoes. I pair them with jeans and a tee or thermals. They last forever and are well worth the money. They come in good colors. This is my third pair. I will point out that they are bulkier shoes so they do not look good with skinny cut jeans. Unless you are a hipster type and then you have bigger issues anyway.

This was the first time I have ordered from Zappos and I had a great experience. Loved their customer service. One item was out of stock and for personal reasons wasn't checking my e-mail on regular basis by the time I looked it was two days before Xmas so had to cancel my order. Not only did they send me a nice letter they sent me a beautiful arrangement. Best service I have ever received. Love them and have told all my friends. Oh yeah, the item I did receive was great.

Best shoes I have ever owned. I bought them before a trip to Disney World and my feet were still feeling great even after 5 days walking all over the parks. Liked them so much I bought a pair for my dad for Christmas.

This is my first new balance shoe and I love them. I got them cuz I remembered my dad work a similar pair in the 80's. The look is vintage and awesome, and they are extremely comfortable.

I have worn these shoes for a long time. I can't say they have the most support or are the most comfortable but for the price and look, I really like them.

These shoes feel very good on my feet. I have exercised and walked in them and they are very comfortable.

Do not buy this shoe if you have flat-feet or wide-feet. I love New Balance shoes, but this pair really disappointed me. First off, they look cheaply made. Second, they are cheaply made. I barely used these shoes, and one day when I had to do some moving boxes type of work in them, they really hurt my feet. After work that day, I noticed the shoe ripped at the outside region near my pinky toe, and both of my big toes were red. And by the end of the week both of my big toe nails turned black from bruising under the nail. This was in the summer. It's winter right now and my toe nails are still black. Although it doesn't hurt, it's a reminder why I won't purchase this model again, also Zappos sent me an email reminder asking me if I would like to buy these shoes again, so thanks for reminding me about writing this review for others.

I am very satisfied with the product and the service, very easy to place order, quick email responses including order confirmation, shipment notice, return confirmation and refund notification. EXCELLENT! I will continue buy more stuff from Zappos.

Very comfortable shoes. Outer material should hold up to extended wear. White foam along the bottom got dirty pretty quickly, but cleaned up easily.

I love these shoes! They are helping me recover from bunion surgery, they are cute, they are retro (this is like what I wore in high school and college in the late 70s early 80s) and more comfortable than my NB 1123s! I plan to order a few more pairs!

These shoes are comfortable, stylish, good walking around, every day shoes. The "grey" pair, though, is actually kind of brown. To me it wasn't too big a deal. I played soccer and ran in these shoes just to see what it was like, and I can't really recommend them. I would stick to regular running shoes for that kind of thing. But for just hanging out, they're pretty cool. Plus, my name starts with an N, so...chyeeaaah.

I wanted some shoes to go with blue jeans. I first bought these shoes in gray/silver/white but the gray was more like beige, I didn't like the white laces either, and they didn't go with blue jeans, so I sent them back. I then ordered navy/silver/suede and now I'm happy. They are comfortable casual shoes, not over-constructed like most current athletic shoes, and a bargain. The fit is the same as other New Balance shoes I've had, which is a bit smaller than other brands; I always order 1/2 size bigger with New Balance and then they fit well.

The are exactly the NB quality I expected. I ordered my typical size and the fit is perfect. Ordering and delivery were flawless. I've bought my last pair of shoes from a brick and mortar retailer.

As a Healthcare Worker who is Constantly on my Feet and walks Appx 8-15 miles in any given 8-12 hour shift, I can say that these shoes are an excellent choice. Although I have my own custom orthotics, they're only as good as the shoes that they're in. These shoes are very comfortable, break-in very quickly, and are also lightweight. I would recommend them to anyone who understands the value of taking care of their feet.

My husband loves these shoes. This is the second pair I have bought him. I bought him the first pair 7 years ago for Christmas and just now purchased his second pair for this Christmas! They look good with everything and last so long.

This is the lightest shoe I have ever worn. The cushioning is just right as well. I am buying a second pair to have them ready when I wear these out.

Although stylish these sneakers are not for serious workouts, running, or such. They are purely fashion sneakers. They don't have any arch support. And lastly they seem to run small for their size. I wear a 10 and ordered this size and thought they were very small. A size 11 would have been probably better.
