Customer Reviews New Balance Classics 574 Core

I normally wear a 6-7 but I ordered a 7-1/2 and it was perfect. Love the shoes- comfortable and stylish.

Love this sneaker and great neutral color that goes with everything!

This shoe needed to be a half size larger to fit right for me. I like the style very much. Zappo's was super helpful in exchanging my shoes for the right size. Highly recommend them.

These are really cute shoes! NB usually works well for me, and upon try-on they feel supportive and cushioned enough for casual wear. Other reviews speak the truth -- I felt they ran a half size too short in the toe. I usually wear a 7.5W in sandals and 8W in closed shoes, but I ended up with an 8.5W with these because it felt like my big toe was going to hit the front of the shoe just a bit in my usual size (and I have short toes), which I assume would become more of a painful problem after wearing them out and about for a while. My advice is either size up a half or order two sizes and return the one that doesn't work.

Great shoe, looks terrific compared to a normal white sneaker, true to size. Unfortunately because of New Balance political affiliations and donations, I will no longer buy from them.

The style was perfect and looks great. Wide width was too tight and 574 Core doesn't come in extra wide. I will try to look for an extra wide style that I like.

I normally wear a women's 6-2E, these only came in W, but it said if you have a really wide foot, order 1/2 size up. I did and they were still too narrow. I am going to try them in a men's 4.5 W (supposedly equivalent to a Women's 6-2E) and see if they will fit. Unfortunately, Zappos did not have the mens wide, so I had to order from another site. I really wish they made more decent looking shoes in wide or 2E widths. Just because I have a square foot doesn't mean I don't like nice looking shoes. :o)

I ordered my normal 9.5 and they were crunching my toes, exchanged for 10 and still too tight so returned both. I can't comment on comfort because I only tried on then realized they were too small.

Shoe fit tighter in the toes than the many other Skechers I have purchased over the years. The padded tongue has a very high rise that rubs against your foot and seemed to lace very high up the foot making it very hard to get on and off. Overall well built but not happy with the style. Cramped and tight.

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

Fit was smaller than expected. Tried my granddaughters on they felt ok but I guess they were stretched out they were very tight on my after purchasing. Love the look and color sadly had to return.

Wider in the back than usual for a New Balance. Arch support was less than expected.

The toe box is not deep enough

Cute but stiff. The thick sole was not flexible and I felt like I was walking with my feet strapped to blocks. I was looking for a lightweight summer sneaker — visually these fit the bill but I will be sending them back and looking for something with a lighter sole

I have had less expensive New Balance that were much sturdier and stronger support. Was disappointed in the quality of the athletic shoe.

Cutel, but not at all practical for serious walking. My toe rubbed the end of the shoe even thought I sized up, and there is no arch support.
