Customer Reviews New Balance Classics M574

I have had great luck with this shoe choice. Great stability. I was an avid fan of Asics before trying these out. These are way more firm and stable for my ankles than Asics especially when you wear size 17s like I do. Great shoe overall, style a bit plain.

This shopping experience and everyone prior has always been easy and meets my expectations.

This is a comfortable classic sneaker. I bought these for my husband and he loves them!

My husband loves them! They are great colors!

Nice shoe. Wider and a bit clunkier than what I am used to but it is an all around good sneaker.

These shoes have a retro look that I don't care for. The white shoe laces had to go. On the plus side, the are very comfortable and seem well made.

These classics use to have a great life to them. I have owned several pairs over the years, and I was able to wear each pair for over 2 years each. The latest pair I received from Zappos has not even lasted me one year. Perhaps this pair was a lemon? The soles have already separated and I am now in the market for a new pair of shoes. Besides that, they look great and feel awesome!

I just got the black/white combo on sale. Shipping was lightning fast. They fit perfectly out of the box and do not seem to need much of a break-in period. They just fit. I usually buy black on black, but the black/white combination is actually nice for a change. It is not too gaudy or anything. These are nice summer shoes. While they feel just fine for walking, they are not quite as cushioned as my pair of Nike Air Max. I think I got a little spoiled with Nike Air, though, so take that with a grain of salt. Once again, the top eyelets for the laces are not plastic. They are just punched holes. My Nike Air were like that and after a year the lace hole tends to stretch. These New Balance M574s have two pair of punched eyelets, though, so if one pair stretches you can re-lace and use the other unused holes. They seem a few ounces lighter than my pair of Nike Air Max that I have been wearing for the last year or so. Overall, I like these shoes and will be wearing them daily if nothing changes with them.

Great shoes. Color was a little misleading, but overall great shoes. Comfortable and good looking.

Did not like this shoe one bit. The pictures are deceiving. When I looked at the pictures the shoe looked great. Upon receiving them the shoe feels cheap and the tread pattern is too aggressive. When I look down at the top of the shoe, it looks like a clown shoe.

Basically, an awesome shoe. It's been a long time since I've had a casual sneaker, so I wouldn't know how to compare it to other members of its genre, but if you walk around a lot like I do, you'll probably like this shoe. My feet are kind of flat and wide. They're not "show feet." But this shoe makes them feel like a million bucks.

Great pair of shoes. Extremely comfortable and stylish. Normally I can't go an entire day with my shoes on, but these are an exception. I can wear these shoes all day long without a problem. Zappos was great as usual! Thanks Zappos!

Great shoe for a teen that doesn't want to wear dress shoes. Looks great with jeans and a nice button down. Comfortable too.

Made in USA! No other brand is better than New Balance and I love the classics M574's. Great for back to school, I pick-up a few pairs for the season.

Very easy to break in and extremely comfortable. I wear these daily because I am on my feet all day for work. I often replace my pairs due to the extended use.

Classic NB, lower heel makes for easier walking, high quality, comfortable out of the box, and delivered yesterday! Zappos is best!

These fit great, and are good for any outdoor activity. I play tennis, soccer, basketball, and run in them. Great support, great fit. I have high a high arch and it conforms amazingly to it. Overall, a great shoe.

My boyfriend only wears the 574 New Balance. Unfortunately after almost a year of practically daily wear, the upper leather started to split from the sole at the front. Luckily, Zappos always has a good deal on these classics!

First time customer. I need a wide box due to Morton's Neuroma and these fit fine. I may go with more of a running shoe next time but these are comfortable for casual use. Shipping and service was great.

Gotta say I love the style of the shoe. Really love the fit and walking around is like walking on air. However, I did have one of the shoes just randomly come apart at the sole one day (only maybe 10-12 days of wearing these at the most). Zappos was very helpful with the refund and I'm still thinking about giving them another try. Sometimes you just get a bad one, everyone else seems pretty happy with them! But since it didn't last long, unfortunately I can't give it more than a 3 star rating. New Balance is always better than this, so that's why it's not 1 star (and the helpful customer service helped too!)

I did notice that some of the material was cracked and scaly. I wasn't sure if it was supposed to be. I’ve had these about a month and they have held up pretty good. The reflective sides are good for walking at night.

These are pretty comfortable for such a reasonable price. I wear them for 40 hrs. a week at work. No problems at all from day one. I love Zappos!

Great shoes. Feature the NB proved comfort-fitting interior (specially for wide feet people). Color is cool. I use them both at the gym during workouts, and out in the street when casual dressing. Was surprised though with the low quality of the sewing. After only a few uses, the stitches in different areas of the shoe started coming off. Usually NB shoes are more hardcore and stay put for long periods, but these seem to by some sort of "softies" within the family.

Absolutely love this shoe! Classic look and comfortable for every occasion. I normally wear a 9.5 in shoes but in this one I always get a 10 and it is perfect. For the price and this shoe is great!
