Customer Reviews New Balance Classics 574 Core

I absolutely love the look of these shoes! As a women who has wide but long feet my shoe size can vary anywhere from 8-9.5 depending on the brand, in most cases I'm a 8.5/9 due to my foot width so not previously owning New Balance shoes I went with the 8.5, though I wish I had gotten the 8 as I feel they would have fit better since the 8.5 is actually quite big. Still pretty happy none the less!

This is my second pair. It's great that they offer it in extra wide sizes! Overall it's quite comfortable. However, the removable insole is very narrow. Because of this, you end up stepping on the edge of the insole (because the insole is narrower than your foot), so basically there is a seam right under your big toe, which can lead to friction. After a few weeks, it becomes less noticeable (probably as the insole flattens and stops springing back).

Good product and good price. A little disappointed in the website, by the lack of specific width info. I chose the "extra wide" hoping it was the 6e size. Unfortunately it was a 4e. New Balance codes their shoes this way, why not have the website use the same codes

These shoes appeared to be a half size smaller than another pair of NB shoes (different model) my husband has in the same size and width.

Runs a little small. Not much structural integrity.

Not as pleased as I have been with other NB purchases. (1) Why ship the shoes laced in that stupid backward way? It just means that I have to unlace them and do it right. (2) Why no loop on the upper heel?

I am typically a size 11 mens shoe size. However upon trying on the shoes once I received them, they were a tad small and felt tight and rather uncomfortable. I now need to make a return, so I will do it in store at your Pasadena CA location. It really would have been nice if they had fit, but I suppose it depends on the manufacturer when it comes to shoe size, and makes one learn a lesson to always try before you buy. I am hoping that my in store experience will allow me to find what I need, so I can be done with this endeavor. This purchase really turned out to be more of an inconvenience than anything to be honest. Not that it's anyones fault. But still none the less, irritating. Thank you and see you in store very soon!
