The shoes are wonderful but are big I bought 1 size more because I saw all the reviews and everybody said are small but are big, I am 9 in other brands but this one maybe 8.5 is better for me

Really confortable, true to size and great to walk all day long for a urban use.
Timeless design.

These run pretty true to size. My feet are just slightly wide and I'm glad that I got the wide version. They feel comfortable with a normal cushioned sock but would feel loose with one of those little thin footie socks. They look great but do feel kind of cheap. They're definitely a "fashion" shoe.

I wear (normally) a 5.5D. New balance I purchase in a 6D. These shoes felt like a 5D. Not sure what has happened to new balance sizing, but they need an adjustment in their manufacturing process.

Sadly, I had to return the shoe. I loved the look and the feel of the sole, but it was too short and too close on my toes. I don't think going up a size would have helped. The shape was just not right for my feet. I should say that I have problem feet. It is so hard to find a shoe that is comfortable and supportive enough to wear more than a few minutes. On a positive note for others who might be interested in this particular style, it is a very cute and well made shoe. I believe it would be flattering for large feet, as well.

I like the retro look and simplicity. The size runs very small, though. I usually wear an 8 but my other New Balance shoes all size 8.5 so I knew they'd be a little bit small. In this style - 574 I had to get size 9 in order to have enough toe room for brisk walking and room to wear a heavier sock in cold weather.

I'm disabled I have weak ankles and knees and everything else because of scoliosis so I needed something to support my ankles and keep my knees in line. Which nothing is so I need the softness underneath. They're pretty hot though I live in Florida. I got the coral ones or whatever color you want to call that freak my husband out he hates them but I like them and that makes it even better.

I love the look of this shoe. I bought the hot pink pair. Yes, when you see the shoe in person its more hot pink.
Very comfortable!

Stylish and comfortable. Could adjust for a comfier sole. Otherwise great shoe. Runs in between true to size and a little big.

I love the 574s. They can be a bit tight around the toes and the wide is too big for me but I love the style.

I love the look of these sneakers. However, it is a tad larger than the New Balance shoes I bought a few years ago, but still OK.

I have a pair that I bought a few years ago that I had to get (size) 7.5B because my usual size was too small. Based on my experience with my other pair as well as the reviews, I ordered a 7.5B. They now fit too big. I wish New Balance was a bit more consistent with their sizing.

Before ordering these sneakers (WL574V2) I read quite a number of reviews and the majority claimed that these shoes felt too small. I always order an 8.5, which does run slightly big on me so I figured by ordering my usual size that they should fit perfectly. Well, I was wrong, the shoes were much too loose even with thick inserts. I'm thinking about ordering it in an 8 but every time I do that the 8s are way too tight. Why are the sizes so inconsistent? Very frustrating.

Size was good. Unfortunately, I did have to go with the wide because regular was out and they are wider, which I am sure is great for those that need it. However I have skinny feet so my feet slide around a bit. I will say the tongue on the shoe does rub a bit for me but other than that they are really cute and overall pretty comfortable.

felt just a "titch" small....but not enough to cause discomfort. I bought another pair in another color at the same time and love the look!!
