Customer Reviews New Balance Classics M574

Just as expected - This is my son's second pair. He wears them until they fall apart and loves them. True to size and look ok with shorts and trousers.

First Pair of New Balance, Extremely Satisfied!! This is the first time I bought New Balance shoes. I wanted a pair of shoes that would be comfortable and look good. I like the retro look. They need a week or two to break and once they do they are very comfy. I would have liked even more cushion but I think it is a good balance between comfort and durability. I have had other shoes in the style and they start to show signs that they will not age well. These look great with Jeans and I can wear them all day with little fatigue!! I am very satisfied. Zappos sent them to me in a day with free shipping!! Can't beat it!!

New Balance - great shoe! Best fitting and most comfortable shoe I ever owned. Due to my foot surgery, I cannot wear any other shoe. PLEASE continue to carry the New Balance Classics M574, especially in 7 wide.

His feet thank you!! I purchased both the navy and gray New Balance Classic's M574 for my son. He has worn the M574 style for several years. He had looked other places for this shoe, but was unable to find them. I found them on your website and ordered them immediately. He is on his feet on concrete floors every day. He says the M574's are very comfortable and do not scream athletic shoe. He has thanked me over and over for finding them.

Very nice - It's great to finally get a pair of shoes the right length that doesn’t taper practically to a point! I like these sneaks a lot. They still don’t conform the best,(wish some one would have really gotten through to me about posture and pronation!)But they're the best I've found in years. Also, it's great to order something and get it the next day free of charge! Don't know how they do it, but I hope it catches on!

574 is a fun shoe - This is my second pair of NB 574s. My first was navy blue in a 12 D, and now I have grey ones in a 13 2E. All in all a great shoe design. I think they look great and are simple but cool looking. They are fairly rugged sneakers- I wore my old blue ones all the time: streets, mud, mountains. They held up pretty well. One weak spot from the old ones was the reflective logo on the back heel - it got bent up and started cracking and peeling. Not sure if that will happen again. Generally comfortable but I ended up putting Dr. Scholls gel in my old ones. My older pair was made in the US - I wish more of them were. Also, I'm not sure whose fault this is, but the first time these came from Zappos the size inside the NB box was wrong- label said 13 2E but inside were like 11.5. Got the right size the next day. These shoes fit my wide flat foot well, and I think will probably mold to other feet. These shoes are good if you just want one pair of sneakers to wear all the time.

Dah, we should have looked to Zappos first. My son dragged me all over for these shoes. He had his heart set on them and we couldn't find them anywhere. I finally asked him to look on Zappos. He had a difficult time locating them but with my help we were successful. He loves these sneakers and I love Zappos.

On my second pair. The first pair of these I bought about 4 years ago and they lasted through 2 years of living in NYC (tons of miles walking) and another 2 of regular kind of walking. They break in nicely and the sole lasts FOREVER. They are also some of the most comfortable shoes for walking I've ever owned. I usually just walked in these (no running), but the sole is 4 years old and now that I have bought my new pair I have compared soles, and the 4+ year olds show so little wear it just amazes me. I can still see the pebbly marks that the flat parts of the sole have. In fact, the sole is more rotted than worn out. The side of the shoe, just below my little toe seems to have a hard area though. And it can be pretty painful especially right now since they're new. I think someone else has complained about this. My old ones were 11s so I didn't feel that pain, but these are 10.5s and while they fit the length of my foot better, they feel a lot narrower. The uppers wear out regularly though. And since its suede, they get dark patches (instead of scuffs) were you've worn them out. Other than that, this second pair definitely won't be my last.

Shoes worth the wait - I am glad to finally get the shoes cause I waited a few months for my size to come in....worth the wait.

The New Favorite - Almost everyone has worn them at some point and for good reason. Sizing is relatively on point. They're comfortable; however, there is a hard and sometimes painful area of the stiff spine inside the shoe that digs into my outer arch. It could be that I have flat arches, or that the shoe isn't broken in yet, or that there was some random misplacement of the spine. They tend to soak up water. With that being said, I'm still wearing them and have ditched my Saucony's.

Just what I wanted - I saw these first in a store and had a rat race trying to find my size. Then it hit me...Zappos! Not only did they have my size...they came overnight! I wanted a dark brown shoe for fall and winter with the comfort of sneakers without looking too much like one. These are great. I gave them a four for comfort because the back is a little high and rubs my heel (with low socks). I think it is because it is a men's shoe. They are also a little stiff...that should be fixed with a little more wearing in. Overall I am very happy with these shoes!

My favorite shoe - Was looking for this one in blue for 6 months. For some reason no one had them at all, only black and silver...These are the most comfortable shoes and I’ve had about 3 pair since 2002. I would recommend them over any of my other pairs of shoes any day.

Old school New Balance, you complete me. Look, I'm going to cut right to the chase. New Balance 574's are the best shoes there are. Just look at that big bold N on the side. That N says, "I know what I want out of a sneaker." These shoes are comfortable, look great, aren't that expensive and they come in a variety of colors. I have a closet full of New Balance 574's in all sorts of different colors. You just can't go wrong with the 574's my friend.

What a shoe! True to size and width...excellent arch support...I love buying shoes this way... accommodates the orthotics I wear...

Great Shoe - First pair of these and they are great. I would recommend these to any one that wants style and comfort. Everything felt true to size.

Great shoe, great company, great quality- I have purchased 3 different kinds of athletic shoes for my son and myself. The sizes are true to fit and the quality is superb!! Zappos is a wonderful company to work with. I received my shoes in two days from the day I purchase them and I have yet to return anything. I've told many of my friends and family members to buy from Zappos and they also have been very pleased. Some of the shoes are cheaper than in the stores, however if the stores are having a sale, then you may have to pay a little more from Zappos. It still saves me time from running all over the place and I don't mind paying a little more for good quality.

Good shoes - They are great. I have to buy new balance shoes one size larger than typical.

Great pair of shoes - Very comfortable. Very stylish.

Great Service + Larger Sizes - My ordering process was fast and I received the shoes in two days. Great service. It is hard to find larger sizes for my son, so we were so excited (after looking in the stores for a size 14 in the style he wanted) that Zappos.com had them and with the free returns if they had not fit, we would have been out nothing. So Zappos.com will certainly have my business from now on.

great - Love these. Wear them to work everyday as a busy bar manager. On my feet most of the day and they feel great.

They look great - Very comfortable. I liked the m 574 s much I bought another model in different colors.

Excellent Shoe - I received my shoes only a day after I placed the order! Needless to say I was quite thrilled to receive my shoes not even 24 hours after I ordered them. I bought the Dark Green/Black ones, they are stylish as anything. Another great thing about these shoes is that they are quite comfortable. This was a definite smart buy, and I'm very pleased with Zappos!

good - This shoe is comfortable and my husband loved them.

New Balance 574 - Great shoe. Very comfortable. Well made and will last awhile.

Great looking and comfortable shoe. The NB 574 Retro's are a good buy for the money. Hope they don't discontinue them.
