Customer Reviews New Balance Classics WL574V2

I normally wear an 8 but read the reviews that said they were a little small so ordered an 8.5. I should have ordered a 9. They run a whole size (for me) smaller. Customer Service was great and made the exchange process so EASY! :-)

I was looking for a cute walking shoe that didn't scream athletic. This fit the bill. I think it runs a little small so I sized up from my normal 8 to a 9 so it is comfortable with a sock and my toes won't slide forward and squish when walking longer distances like at my son's golf tournaments.

Overall, I love these NB shoes. They do slip a little in the heel so I wear thick socks. The footbed could be more padded with better support but no break in required. The blue and gold looks great with my fall clothes and football.

Fit true to size. Very comfortable. Will order again.

Super cute but after a day's wear it was obvious they were slightly too small length-wise. I've been a size seven for centuries, but I will admit, it's been a long time since I've had New Balance. I would suggest sizing up a half size for best fit.

runs small, glad I read other reviews, I am an 8.5 and I bought a 9 based on what I read, they fit fine

I wish I had read the reviews. I returned them for a 1/2 size larger, so hopefully they’ll fit. Overall though, the color and style are adorbs.

I knew that NB shoes were wide, but I wished I would have ordered 8 1/2 instead of 9. I typically buy 9 when I buy shoes online even though I usually wear a 8 1/2. But that is all on me as this is my first pair of NB gym shoes. The style is great and I get compliments from younger people a lot! They are very comfortable despite being a little big

Lovely shoes but they do cause a bit of a rub on the ankle… hoping they break in a little bit because they actually look cool and I can wear them at work all day without my feet hurting.

Super cute, retro design. Children of the 80s will remember this style.

Comfy but these definitely feel like they run small.

They feel comfy, decent support and cushioning. I always wear a 7.5 but these feel like they run a little small.

I ordered wide because I like a roomy toe box, however what I didn't think through is that the shoe opening is also wide so my heel slipped. I will be ordering medium width. These shoes are so comfortable!

Like the style, but these encouraged my feet to roll out (supinate) which they do naturally so I sent them back.

sized 1/2 size too small and is narrow

I love the look of the 574s and thought I’d replace my grey and navy pair for the beige and maroon ones. However, after trying in the new pair and comparing the quality of the two, these beige ones are much more cardboard like and it not as pliable as my older pair. I had also went up a half size as I did with my older pair. I hope the new pair will be as comfortable as I am planning on wearing them on my upcoming trips. I gave the shoes four stars because of the change in quality, but Zappos gets five. The customer service is outstanding and I always look here first before placing any orders.
