I purchased my first pair of New Balance shoes over 20 years ago. It was a 473 model and was the best shoe I ever had. I recently threw them away as I had worn out the sole on them. I tried finding the same model again but was advised it is no longer. I just purchased a M574GS and it is great. Looks like I've found an "old friend."

Just stick with New Balance!

Outstanding!
Felt a bit tight on top in the beginning, but it might have been because I used them with SuperFeet inner soles. However, after a while they loosened up and they are super comfy!

Burgundy looks magenta or will read pink in many situations. Just not attractive out of the box. The red were so cute but when they arrived felt too narrow or maybe too small and too narrow, and they had burgundy in E width so I thought I would try them and then send one back. Sending both back. NB just doesn't fit like they used to. I have an old pair and I want something new, it is time. I am not finding anything. But I do love Zappos!

Too tight across the toes. No real padding or cush when you walk in them, but I would have put some kind of insole. I tried another pair in the burgundy color but they arrived today and they will read as pink/mauve in many situations and that is not good for me.

Nice looking shoe, and appears to be well-built. But, they were tight and narrow, even though I ordered a 12 wide. I find that New Balance's sizing, as with many other brands, is not consistent. I own other NB shoes that fit me just fine.

Bought this shoe because I'm on my feet all day walking back and forth from car to car. This shoe is a blessing. Feels wonderful. Best shoe I've owned to date.

New Balance makes great fitting and very comfortable shoes. These fit great and were super comfortable. They're pretty awesome looking as well. Unfortunately after 7 months they ripped. My New Balance shoes have always lasted at least a year. So, this shoe was kind of a disappointment.

These shoes were incredibly uncomfortable. I have wide feet, and these still felt super narrow in the toe. I also had issues with the tongue moving over to the side of my foot even though they were laced tight. Not a fan. :-(

New Balance tennis shoes received in 2 days (yea!), but too tight. I ordered width size 2E, which is typically just perfect for my feet. These, however, were too tight. I'll return them and order a larger size (or wider, if available).

My job requires me to be on my feet for the whole day on a concrete floor and these shoes have saved me! They have lasted a year and now I am looking for a new pair only because they are getting shabby looking, but they still fit as good as the day I bought them.

Love the shoe but runs much smaller than what I thought. I have the same brand shoe in a different color in a size 11.5 that still fits and I bought a size 12 and they fit like a whole size smaller. Returning for a size up.

My Husband has been a loyal New Balance customer for many, many years, due to long hours working on concrete he found them to be the best on his feet. This shoe is NOT true to size, we compared it to another pair (same shoe- M574)that we bought in store and it is way narrow compared to the store bought shoe, not sure why.

Love the M574's. These fit to size and are always comfortable. Great shoe that I use more with jeans than any sports activity.

Comfortable right out of the box and true to size, if you're an 11 buy an 11. I'm buying a second pair soon as I'm able.

Very good value, heel width is spot on, however toe box needs to be widened.

I do not run long races anymore but for 10K,or less, these are the best shoes that I have ever owned. You do not need the top of the line. The mid-priced shoes are just as good.

I bought this sneaker to attend a trade show in Vegas. I walked 5+ miles a day for a week + the airports. These are the most comfortable and supportive sneakers for everyday use. I have these for 3 weeks now and I am the happiest camper ever. A little stiff for the gym (but then, stiff enough to wear casually!). For the gym I prefer Asics.

A 2E width is supposed to be wider than normal (that's all I ask for). The 2E should be removed as a size. This shoe feels like a B, or a woman's shoe's standard width. Such a shame, I really like the look and the materials felt nice and plush, the insoles were awesome for such a basic classic shoe.

New Balance's quality control has gotten worse and worse. NB Regular width used to fit me fine. But with the last pair I bought, I needed EE width. This time, I ordered the EE width and although clearly marked EE, it fits like a narrow, and pinches terribly. I'm a fairly slender guy and don't have big wide feet. What is NB doing?

The shoe seemed fine at first. The problem was that there was a very hard seam that rubbed and pressed against my toes in a very painful way. I thought that after some time the shoes would break in and this problem would disappear, but it never did.
I've had nothing but problems with all the New Balance shoes I've purchased. It's very unlikely I'll be purchasing anything from this company again.

I bought these for my son. He loves the color, O.U. colors, go Sooners, and says that they fit very well. He requires a wide shoe and New Balance is a great brand to offer that sizing. As always I can depend on Zappos to get them delivered so quickly it is faster than shopping round at the local malls for the right shoes. Love my Zappos!

I ordered a 16D with the hope, based on the reviews, that they would be a little narrow and they are. The toe box is not restricted on my little toe. I am a flat foot with a narrow width. There is just the right amount of arch without there being too much as in my Brooks Addictions. Very comfortable and I am very happy. Tried to order another pair but they were out of my preferred color, so went to the other gigantic online retailer and they were available in that color but almost gone also.

The wide width is NOT wide. I ordered this thinking that it would be wider than the standard width New Balance but it felt much, much narrower. Disappointed.

These shoes failed to be comfortable as they used to be. They felt like clogs - very uncomfortable.
