I've bought NB574 before in a size 11 1/2. I always order this plus a size 11 to see which was more comfortable and return the other. Both wer a little too large soI then ordered 10 1/2 which feel right. Returned the other 2 pair. Bob Baker

Saw these at the window and fell in love with them. I knew I had to have them. Once I found my size off I went with my first pair of NB sneakers! Bought them 1/2 size bigger since I like stuffing them with a nice gel sole to help my feet while I walk. It was weird at first having to feel the tongue kinda fold inside my shoe and start to hurt the top of my foot while I walked. Took me about a week to find a way to put my shoe in where the tongue of the shoe would be completely spread and would feel nice on the top of my foot. That's also how long it took me to break them in. Since in the beginning I wasn't very comfortable with how they felt on my feet. Opted to take out the gel soles and they felt even better for me.. Odd thing is that as I kept on collecting these classic beauties and it's different colors I noticed that the size from the first pair felt different as I kept purchasing new pairs. I got no complaints. They have lasted me perfectly for the 2 years since I started purchasing them. Yes they do they dirty quick which I guess all depends how you use them. I would definitely recommend them. Try out different sizes while at the store. Walk around and you'll feel the difference as you change the sizes.

Luckily I read the reviews and bought a half size larger then normal. Had I bought my regular size these certainly would have been too small. At the larger size they’re very comfortable. I buy a lot of New Balance shoes and I’m not sure why they can’t manufacture with some size uniformity.

Took a few weeks to break in the arches, but after that I've found them to be very supportive and comfortable. I liked the somewhat retro look but they didn't commit and a few people have teased me that they look like 'dad shoes'. :)

It's more comfortable than the 674 model and easier to place your foot inside but if you prefer straps then I'm afraid you're out of luck.

The style is good, classic and old school. But it looks a little cheap in person.

This is a second purchase of a NB 574 shoe. The size, width, and last make a good fit.

This year's "574 classic" line runs about half size bigger than the previous ones with the fat tongue.
Overall I prefer the older "fat tongue" 574 design.

I have purchased a new pair of 574's every year for the last 4 years. Sometimes I get them directly through New Balance if Zappos doesn't have my size (16) or color. I always prefer Zappos for their lightening fast shipping and their outstanding customer service. This pair of 574's fit better than my previous 2 pair with plenty of room in the toe box. The only downside is it seams every year New Balance uses a cheaper and flimsier insole. I've traded the insoles out of my brand new pair for the insoles of and older pair.

The 574 is one of the BEST classic runner designs out there. I really like there color schemes. The BEST thing is that the 15’s are enlarged PROPORTIONALLY, so it’s NOT just extra toe! You cannot go wrong w/ 574’s!

Love the look of these! Got the wide which is a 2E it says, fits tight. Thought they may of needed a little breaking in, but still not as comfy as I hoped. I’ll still wear these but not every day as I’d hoped to for work.

The style is great and the quality is high, but the 574v2 shoes are a full size smaller than marked. The toe area is very narrow and would be uncomfortable for anyone with wider feet.
I'd also recommend:

I have worn these shoes before, this is my second pair. But for some reason these fit differently than I remember, maybe I remembered wrong. I wear a 11.5 in vans and a 12 in nike shoes, and i like my shoes to have maybe a little space in front of my toe, but when I got the 11.5 in these, they felt super tight, a lot tighter than the vans and my biggest toe was against the front of the shoe. I returned and reordered the size 12, they came and I am extremely happy with the comfort, fit, and customer service provided at Zappos. These shoes are extremely comfortable and would recommend.

I bought a pair of these for the gym to save my 990s for everyday wear and light jogging outside. These get the job done. They hold up with weights and cardio training inside and outside the gym. They clean up nicely so they stay fresh looking. The insoles did seem to wear quicker than my 990s but for the difference in cost that's to be expected. I'll be picking up another pair once these fully wear out.

The size 16 New Balance ML574v2's I ordered are a full size smaller than my pair of New Balance size 16 M574GS's. It's become trial-and-error within the same brand. I take it the word "classics" implies a smaller (less athletic?) shoe. Fortunately for me New Balance makes plenty of size 17.

Suede quality isn't that great, and toe area is still slightly bulbous, but other than that, they fit great and are good everyday shoes.

First of all, the shoes are really nice. But I find them a little bit tight compare to my usual size. Second, my box was completely destroyed during the delivery. Shoes were okay.

They dont fit a female foot properly. I have a wide foot myself but they are way too wide all along and very shallow at the heel. Clearly made for a man's foot. Also material quality seems a little low. Not the usual New Balances I used to own. Returned
