I've been excited to get my new balances - ordered my usual size in other shoes but was way too small. Went a half size up and went for the wide - still too small :') Exchanging it for 1 full size up from my regular. Hopefully 3rd time is a charm!
Otherwise they look really cute. Not sure of the comfort or durability since I haven't gotten to wear them out yet!!

NB runs SMALL for me. I usually run between a 9.5 in Salomon to 10.5 in Asics but need an 11 in NB! LOVE the style for a fashion sneaker. I purchased the burgandy color great for fall/winter to wear around town for Urban walking. I run slightly narrow in back of heel but Comfort in NB has always been a slight issue due to odd level of foot seems to dip down and push my foot forward. Maybe that's why I need to go up in size. Roomy toe box and I was able to fit my orthotics so that was a plus!

Excited to get it for an amusement park trip because wanted something that would supportive all day on my feet. They were great but went a half size bigger and it was still too small. Had to switch shoes with someone in my group because it was too too small.

I didn’t have enough toe box room, which is why I get NB

I wish I would have returned them for a 1/2 size bigger. I have this same model in 4 other colors and they all ran the same.

I am a true 6.5, and ordered a 7, based on reviews. They felt fine in the width but were too small in length. I’ve ordered a 7.5, so I am hoping they will fit! Otherwise, really cute shoes, seem comfortable enough! I ordered the grey color, it’s the best, goes with everything.

These shoes are great for standing all day at work. They are very comfortable to walk around in as well. I purchased the black pair and they are a rich shade of black (if that makes sense). They run a bit small so order half a size up.

Wide toe box and narrow heel are just right. The shoe accepts a sturdier arch support insert.

I'm really surprised to read that people thought they ran small. I ordered an 8 which is what I always wear and I was swimming in them and had to return. I loved the style though.

Fit well and are a reasonably comfortable and mildly fashionable sneaker choice. For longer walks or stretches on my feet, I go for Brooks, but these are a close runner-up!

I am typically an 8.5/39 in shoes...the 9 was too small on me. My big toe was touching the front of the shoes when I walked. Did not order a 9.5 because I was worried my heel would start sliding out of the shoe. I think this sizing issue is due to the more squared off toe design. They are cute though.

I’m almost always a 9 in regular shoes, 9.5 in sneakers such as Brooks and Altra. My toes hit the end in the 9.5 of these. Exchanging for a ten.

I have always like New Balance shoes. They are the first I go to when needing a new pair of walking shoes. The fit is constant. I like the 574. There is one issue with the new shoes today and that is the thin soles in the toe area. I need to put in an extra insole to cushion the toe area. One can feel the material of the bottom of the shoe. Giving the entire sole area more material would be good.

I am a solid 9 and saw mixed reviews about the sizing running small. Some said they fit perfectly, so I took my chances on a 9 and NOPE. They fit like an 8, at best. Hoping I can size up to a 10!

I can pretty much dress these up or down which I like. The only thing that made me question it was the inside padding. Just slipped right out! But still comfy

These shoes are super comfortable! I would say size up a 0.5 size but don't order wide unless you normally do! It took my three tries before I got a pair that actually fit. I'm normally a 9.5 and got a 10 standard width.

I work 12 hour shifts at the hospital. I think these shoes are comfortable, my feet do hurt by the end of my shift which could be that it's 12 hours. I love the color of mine that matches my scrubs. I typically wear a size 71/2 but I went up to a size 8 in these. They fit good but I think they make my feet look big. I don't know if it's the style but I still like them.

Product and customer beyond service my expectations
Unfortunately, true fit sizing a problem as my wife needed wide fitting and the size ordered was tight.

The reviews said, they feel like you're walking on clouds. I think they feel good, but I wouldn't say walking on clouds. Also, the first time I wore them walking I got blisters on my heels. The second time I wore them they didn't hurt as much.

These shoes are very comfortable. I was worried about the tongue which comes up very high, but it doesn't bother me. I like the color, which is between grey and beige, but more grey.
