There okay but the price is right on I just wish they were more comfortable and yes I got my size correct I meant the insoles and bottoms are what make them uncomfortable

The toe box issue is real. I’m only a few days in, but it’s odd. Been wearing the 574s for a long time and this is a fist.

There are two big dents at the toe of the left shoe that are very noticeable and irritating.

Bought for hubby that wears size 12. Bought 12. He says it was narrow. Aside from that cool show and color was nice.

They were way too big in my recommended size. I love the style tho. Order a half size down.

Love the style. Need wide version. Just too narrow for a slightly wider foot.

Cool shoe. I'm not in love with the interesting race-track s-curve they've designed into the two of the 574s but otherwise a nice looking sneaker. But it was a little snug. I could comfortably wear these with thin running socks but with standard cotton socks the left foot was tight and the right was downright too small. I'd consider order a larger size but I feel like NB can make me a cooler sneaker. Challenge presented! Also, the stitching is a little below expectation. There was a small bit on the tongue which was actually frayed. See attached.

I enjoy wearing my new pair of 574 NB, the color wasn't exactly what I thought it would be online seems to be red and the pair I received was more on the burgund and the fitting in the right side wasn't great but I managed.

The back of the ankle comes up extremely high and rubs. They aren't as comfortable in general as my old ones. I should have returned them.

I love the look but I have a wide feet and it's taking me a while to break them in. It's my first pair of New Balance in a long time so maybe I need to understand their sizing a little better.

Son complaint his feet hurt all the time. I bought them thinking they would be perfect for traveling but that was not the case.

I wear a size 13 in all the shoes I own. These run really small. I should've ordered a size bigger. Disappointing

Not the most comfortable and don't feel like the support will last very long.

I should have read the reviews. I bought my normal size and they were so tight they made my feet sore. Sizing up might help, but I had to return my pair.

Look great but if you're a wide NB customer these might be a bit tight for you. They run small.

I like shoes with bolder colors and chose the "Rust with morning fog" variant. The saturated orange as shown in the images was really nice. But that's not the true color. It's less saturated, and more of a brownish orange than the bright and reddish one shown on the site.
The shoe also ran too small for me. Should have ordered at least a half size up; perhaps even more. No problems with the width, but the toe area was too tight at my usual 11.5 size.
Can't comment on long-term quality. I only wore them for a few minutes in the house before sending them back.

I thought I had ordered these in 10 1/2 wide but it appears they only come in medium width, which doesn't work for me. I've been buying NB shoes for decades and there seem to be fewer styles available in a variety of widths these days. Fortunately I was able to find a Brooks shoe that fit me perfectly.

Great looking shoes but too snug. I bought a half size up and still too tight. My feet are a little wide, but not so much that I buy wide shoes. It was easy to do the return so that was good. I'm not giving up on New Balance, but I will definitely either buy a wide shoe or a whole shoe size up next time.

We just bought a replacement pair of the classic New Balance for our southern 14 year old boy. It's all the kids at his school wear. He likes the way they look and they're comfortable. My gripe as a parent is they look like crap after about 2 months if you have an active kid. The soles were literally falling off and worn through. He had them for maybe 4 months and it was time to size bigger, but if your child is active these will not be passed down to anyone. My kid is super active shooting hoops and running around the neighborhood, but I was still shocked at how they are not made for any type of activity level.

New Balance really messed up the sizing on these. Before I was always a size 8, wide. Easy peezy. Now, not so much.
I believe it's a mix between the fact that New Balance redesigned the 574 to make the toe box slimmer, that they stuffed an overly thick, mushy insole to go along with it, and a quality control issue. These in combination makes it seem you need to size up.
Also complicating things is bad quality control. I tried it on in store, and then ordered the same size online, but the one that was ordered online fit smaller than the one I tried on in store. This would also explain why some people are saying it fits true to size, and some are saying size up.
If you can find your right size, it's still a nice shoe. Just fix the inconsistencies, and make more wide options, New Balance!
