Customer Reviews New Balance Classics WL574

I love these shoes! They're really comfortable and supportive and great for walking. The only problem (and it's not really a big one) is that one rubbed a blister on the back of my ankle on first wearing. I'm sure my ankle will toughen up and the blister won't happen again.

The shoe felt kind of weird while I was walking. But overall a decent shoe.

Sadly these just didn’t fit my foot- same problem with New Balance as before so I guess if NB work for you go for it! For me the part of my foot that hits the pavement (opposite the arch) gets too much support, so my foot cramps. If you pronate, these would be great. I don’t so had to return. Cute shoes. Bummer.

The only thing about these is they’re a little short bc of the round toe

I think I should have ordered a half size bigger...

I have a few pairs of the 574 classics -- red, navy and black synthetic. They're all super comfortable (and my arch support orthotic fits in easily)! I always get compliments on the red, but the black on black is my least favorite. Dirt shows up on them and they really just look like old lady black shoes.

They feel great and look fabulous in person. I personally find them bulky but over they're a very nice style.

Love the bright colors and they're super comfortable. I do find that they make my feet look a bit big though.

Bought these to use as a lighter travel alternative to my heavier workout shoes. Perfect. They would not be for me to use for high impact exercise but great for walking while traveling,running errands etc. Have almost a linen look so a bit nicer & works well for what I needed.

These are cute and a nice change from the usual bright colors of most sneakers, and they are very comfortable. Sizing is right on. But they squeaked loudly! Maybe it's just this particular pair!

Comfy and stylish... Had to buy a half size up.

These retro looking shoes are so cute. I expected that w/ NB having a reputation for a wide toe box they would not be a problem, but I really needed a wider shoe. I love the classic style, but I do feel that they are narrower than their other styles. Sadly, they have to go back.

I love all the colors so much and have 5 pairs in the 574 brand, however these shoes were a little more stiff than the other ones. I still kept them because I love the color but they are not as comfortable as my other ones!

Not a serious running or athletic shoe, but very cute and fits the bill for a trip to the gym. Rather round toe box. Great color combination.

Very nice, comfortable. Love the colors. The only downside is that since the bottom rubber is white, it gets dirty easily.

I liked the look of the shoe. But, it has a very stiff feel to it. Because I want it for cross training it won't work. If I just wanted it for everyday, it would probably be fine.

I love these shoes; however, they run really big. I normally wear a size 10, so that's what I ordered. They are easily half to a full size too big. Other than that, super cute and I love them.

Love this throwback. This shoe more than earns the style points. Is extremely comfortable. My heel lifted slightly in the shoe but now that I've worn them for a week that problem seems to have corrected itself. I'd order these again.

These shoes ran narrow for me through the ball of my foot. They were also extremely rigid and would need some breaking in - something that I don’t usually encounter with Brooks or Adidas. It’s too bad because they are a really cute pair of shoes.

loved the look but the shoe is rock hard, un bendable and was a bit too short

I loved everything about this shoe. I own a pair from 10+ years ago and they’re the best. But the unfinished style of the tongue.. I hate how you can see the foam, and when they’re on and I look down at them, it is very noticeable. I wish the tongue was stitched closed for a finished look. So I returned them. Hopefully they change that and I’ll order in the future.

Did not feel up to New Balance quality. Also tight fit.

The style was nice but not for me. Not the best quality and the heel cup was too deep.

These shoes fell apart after wearing them fewer than 10 times. Separated at the toes and from the sole of the shoe in the instep.

the tong of the shoe came up too high. was very bothersome.
