I liked the way the shoes looked and when I tried them on the left foot was at least a 1/2 size bigger then the right. Which whatever customer service took care of the return no problem. But now I went to order another pair and they are out of stock. I already waited long enough for the first pair god knows how long I will have to wait for them again.....

My husband loved his new balance . He has always used Nikes and has wide feet and it wasn't easy finding a Nike shoe to fit properly But trying New Balance we are so satisfied and very happy . From now on we are Only purchasing New balance tennis shoes .

Comfy but you will walk the side. Shoe looks good the sole needs some work.
P.s takes forever to get your money back

The shoes are very nice this is my first time wearing a wide shoe and I normally wear a 81/2 9 comfortable and with this being a wide shoe it feels a little bit bigger
I would like to exchange them but I got rid of the insoles and replaced them with different ones. So I don't know if I can still do a return?
Otherwise they are nice shoes and I like them.
Nice,

For starters, I bought the burgundy of these shoes and these are closer to purple than burgundy. The blue in the pictures looks nice but I'm not a huge fan of these shoes so I returned them.
I'll start with the good, the construction of these shoes seem good, same with the materials, they seem worth the cost, I'm actually quite impressed. I also like the 90s look and feel of these, they're not super modern in their appearance and that was the look I was going for.
Unfortunately they're not for me, I wear custom arch supports in all of my shoes/boots but these shoes are just too wide, I bought the medium (I wear medium shoes and wide boots, it's a bit weird but it's worked out for me for about 6 years) to compare them to the 527 shoes (as pictured) and I have more room than I need in these, even with the laces pretty tight. The 527 were right on the money so it was an easy decision to go with those instead. If you need wide shoes but not super wide maybe these would be the shoes for you, I might consider these if somehow they were offered in a narrow version, it's just surprising since I don't consider my feet all that narrow. Sidenote, I wear 10.5 shoes normally (depending on the brand) and these were a 10, they were the perfect length at 10 too so again the width added to my surprise a lot.
Also, my main purpose for buying these shoes was driving (I wanted something that would be comfortable for long drives but still give me accurate pedal control) and I'm just not sure if the notches on the bottom would work well. Obviously I didn't drive in them so I really wouldn't know but it's just my speculation.

Much like the pair of 574 I purchased for myself, these are too small. Great looking. Just too small. He does want to try another pair. Not sure if I am willing to try,

After going in to be fitted at a New Balance store. After buying nothing but New Balance. No issues with fitment prior to these. The 574 is about a half a size off length wise. Also off in width. The 4E/Extra Wide is defiantly more like a 2E. It is a shame because it is a good looking shoe.

I wear them to coach in. They keep my feet comfortable while walking the gym floor for a 2 hr practice or 2 hr game.. I recommend them for working or chilling

Got the regular width because that's what worked before but it was too tight. Got the wide and it's too wide, but it's fine for walking shoes.

When it said scarlet I expected more red not burgundy. Buyer beware if you're expecting a RED sneaker. The picture of the shoe didn't look maroon to me but I decided to keep anyway and bought some gray laces!

I've bought a pair of 996s and 327s in the past year and they were great. The 574 was very tight, so I ordered a wide instead.

This New version of the model is worse than the Original because even though the label says it's for wide feet, the reality is that it's not, I previously purchased shoes of this exact size before, and when I would put them on they would fit without any issues, now with this new version of this model it reveals to me that New Balance made the same terrible mistake that Nike Factory made before with shoes labeled for wide feet, which is why I stopped being their customer back in 2009, if they don't fix this issue by consulting customers who have wide feet, they will loose eventually a few several hundred thousand customers in this particular matter of wide shoes due to terrible labeling and possible change of factories that manufacture these type of shoes.

I ordered shoes, the shoes came in the mail. The shoes were the correct color and size, so I guess you could say this went well.

I'm a healthcare worker and I wore down my last pair of these and loved them so I got a new pair. The issue is that the right show leather clicks when I walk. It has never happened before. Same size as my last pair. I thought they might break in but it's been 3 weeks and it still clicks as I walk. Thinking about exchanging them...

Shoes were extremely comfortable and would be 5 stars, but the color in the photo online was a bit misleading. These were sold as "burgandy" and I was hoping for a dark red color (like the photo online), but when I received them, these were purple or maybe plum. I couldn't keep them. I wound up finding a pair of 373 V2 sneakers in the red color I wanted and bought them to replace the 574s, and I LOVE the new shoes. If you like plum, then get the burgandy 574s.

New Balance changed the tongue of the shoe and it is now thinner than previous versions. I imagine this is a cost-saving move, because why change something that isn't broke? Still looks great, but the feel isn't the same.

They look great but are not true to a NB size 12 extra wide. I wear NB exclusively for the extra wide. Felt short and narrow compared to other styles

The shoe itself might be one of those most comfortable shoes I have ever worn, but as with such the low rating the color did not match what I received. I was hoping for a more off-white almost light tan color shoe. What I received were a pair of shoes whiter than my teeth.

I am extremely disappointed. I used to buy 574. It was very comfortable. When I got these ones, it felt tight, uncomfortable , especially forefoot. Why did they have to change comfortable 574?

These shoes now have very thin tongues and don't offer the same comfortable feel as the previous versions. I was really disappointed in this and will now have to look for a new brand. It's a shame, my last pair survived a year in Afghanistan and many years after.

The shoes seem clunky when I'm wearing them and I think they look clunky. It's the tie box primarily. I bought a 9W. On the heavy side. Fit is great. I love NB, but wish I had picked a different style.
