Customer Reviews New Balance Classics WL574

These shoes didn't last even 6 months. I work from home, so it's not as though I walk to work or for any length of time beyond my morning/evening walks with my dog. Barely 6 months in and the tread wore down to wear you can see lettering from the manufacturer.

I so wanted to love these New Balance Classics WL574. With just the original insoles the sneakers were too big. I removed the insole and replaced it with a more supportive insole and the sneakers were too tight. I ordered them in 8.5 M which is my normal size in sneakers. Whenever I have tried a half size smaller of any brand of sneaker they are always too tight. It's a no-win situation. Guess I'll need to keep on looking. So disappointed! :(

These are the most uncomfortable shoes that I have ever tried. I wore them several days in a row thinking that I just needed to break them in. They rubbed sores on three different places (with socks) and the top pressed down on my toes. They just overall are not comfortable and caused my feet to hurt when I wore them. It is a shame because I love the style of these. Zappos is the best and let me return them after being worn due to the problems that I had.

This shoe would be great if they hadn't used choc brown accents with the grey and pink. Looks horrible in person!

All style, no substance. Alas, I loved the look and color of this sneaker, and I really wanted to kick around town in them. The color and finish are awesome, and at first try at home they felt quite comfortable and cushy, though stiff, so I kept them. But I wore them out once and the fit is horrible: just very odd, narrow at the sides and boxy in the toes, and the material feels too thick and suffocating. The tongue is annoyingly massively thick, too. They are so uncomfortable and clunky! It's like wearing bulky pillows wrapped around your feet with bungee cords. Too bad, because now I'm stuck with them. I'm usually a better judge of how shoes fit/feel out of the box, but these were just strange and didn't reveal themselves until I took them out to tackle my day. Buyer beware, wear them a LOT around the house before venturing out. This brand usually makes good shoes; these are a fail in the fit/execution department.

I have worn New Balance shoes before, very disappointed with this pair. The stitching on the top of the shoe rubbed a blister on the top of both of my feet. Sent the other pair back.

I was surprised at how uncomfortable these shoes felt when I tried them upon arrival... they are hard and not cushioned. Very disappointing. I am returning them.

These fit really weird. The right shoe slipped off my heel and the left shoe pinched really badly around my pinky toe. I found it really weird that they felt like 2 different shoes. I thought maybe one of my feet was swollen so I waited a day and tried again to wear them. No the case. I really loved the style so I'm super sad that they didn't work out. I'm returning and buying a different style because I'm still in love with New Balance.
