I bought a 5 E in this several years ago, M574 it is the only one in the line I can wear or would wear. I love them, however they no longer make it in this exact style, similar but not exact in all detail. Please start producing again for those with a wide, wide foot.

Great fitting shoe! I thought it was narrow at first, but once the sidewalls broke in it was much better. Look and style are nice, but I had to take a star off because they're really just a little too orange-brown. I think these would be much nicer in a less bright color. (Like a pale or darker brown.)

I've had these shoes for about two months and I have to say, I find them very comfortable. I have wide feet so it's nice to see a shoe that has extra room in the width. They seem to be quite durable as well. For the most part they are a pretty nice looking shoe for casual wear. I could do without the big N on the side, but it's not that big of a deal. I do notice that the white, spongy sole begins to look dirty quite easily.

Love the shoe but sending back because a little snug in toes. Going to get 1/2 size larger. Good arch support don't need my orthotics with these. Was hoping to be able to "sneak" and wear to work as shoe because no sneaker policy. Almost can, but while strip near sole gives it away as sneaker. Love shoe anyway.

These are wonderful shoes. They were sold at a great price and fit well. I do not normally buy shoes online because I get worried about fit issues. But I have always bought New Balance and I have heard alot about these particular New Balance shoes and I just love them. I look forward to buying another pair in the future!

Very durable and lightweight. Mesh material ventilates very well. Some of the logo and trim finish a little too glossy. Definitely would buy another pair.

I found this to be very comfortable. So far I've worn it only around the house for now as I just got it. I bought this for the extra toe room and motion control. It feels very good and comfortable. There is a difference with this being built with the SL-2 last vs. the SL-1.
I would strongly recommend this sneaker, and Zappos service is great and quick! Never did I hear of a year to return shoes and free shipping either way! Awesome!

Definitely for guys that like a firm foot bed. I prefer some cushion, and these provide practically none. Great style/colors, though.

I just got these today. I am used to the 990 series but I thought that I would try these because they are considerably cheaper. Well, I could tell immediately that these are no 993s in quality, though they look similar. They are narrower and smaller. I am surprised that most people have not noted this. But the M574 still seems like they are good shoes so I will probably return them for half a size larger and EE width, and give them a try. Or I may try the 587 instead, which is more expensive than the 574 but still less than the 993, which is now out of range of my budget.

Overall I'm really happy with these shoes, mainly because I like the way they look. In terms of quality, they definitely feel shoddier than the New Balances that cost twice as much. I guess you get what you pay for. They also feel a bit bigger in size. Overall they are comfortable, attractive and affordable shoes that were probably made by slaves somewhere.

Good, comfortable shoe that ran a little big for a size 11.5, but not so much that it's a bother. But seriously, Zappos was great! I got these in about two days. Great service!

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.

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.

Had to cut my own shoelace holes with an X-Acto knife for top two holes on both shoes. Was ready to run but had to spend a few minutes cutting holes to lace up. Otherwise shoes and price were good.

Purchased these sneakers for my grandson; he wears a large size shoe and has weak arches. He loves the shoes because they are very comfortable and allow room for his orthotics. He also likes the style.The shoe could be improved with added arch support. Shoe feels true to size.

These were my first pair of 574's in several years, and while still a great shoe, I'm disappointed that they seem to offer less cushioning then they once did. The fit seems as wonderful as always, but unlike my latest pair, the older ones felt like you were walking on air when you first put them on. These are more stiff, which seems pretty typical for less expensive shoes today, even though I paid more than I ever have for a pair of 574s. Overall, it's still a great shoe, but it doesn't seem to exhibit the high standards for comfort that it once did. I'm sure that I'll be satisfied with them, nonetheless, but less cushioning means that I'll probably look around before buying another pair. I also want to add that I've been a happy New Balance customer for 20 years, but the last few pairs have not held up to the high expectations I have for the brand. My favorite shoes of late have all been other brands, which makes me think that New Balance isn't the same shoe it once was.

Great looks, pretty good overall -
Not as good as the American made NBs, but a solid pair of good looking sneakers. Wish they made the 4E - but a half size larger than normal works for me with the 2E.

Newbies -
Nice basic sneaker, but looks pretty bulky and square. Stretched out quite a bit and now fits a little loose.

Finally -
In an attempt to find a shoe I could walk, exercise, and jog in, I purchased 3 other pairs of shoes through Zappos. No other shoe seemed to work. They were either too narrow or too tight in certain areas. I measured myself to double check my size that I had been wearing for the last 10 to 15 years and I was still there but the salesman explained that some running shoes are cut a little thin he suggested I go up a size or go wide. I did and it worked. I must also add that Zappos claim to have free shipping both ways is true. I've sent back about four pairs of shoes and was never charged on red cent for shipping. Thanks

Everything I thought they would be -
These shoes are so comfy and look great. I was looking for a new pair of shoes to replace my 4-year-old New Balance running shoes. I wanted the retro, casual look that I could wear all the time with jeans or shorts. After looking at tons of Pumas, Saucony, and Adidas, I settled on these in the Black/Grey/White colors. My only complaint is that they didn't come in a non-leather model. I would have liked to spare the poor cows in my purchase, but these shoes were just so cool I couldn't resist. Plus, suede begins to show its age after a while, and can't be worn in rainy weather. Not like I would wear these when it was raining anyways, but when they start to get older I would have liked to have some kicks to put on when the weather looks bad. If you don't have any reservations about buying suede, then go for it.
