I was worried because the reviews were a bit on both ends of negative and positive. These are so comfy and give my flat arches a bit more support. I sized up half a size and it fits well, although I feel like I could've kept my usual size though.

I love the color and style of these sneakers but they don't breathe very well. My feet got really warm in them after wearing them for only a couple of hours.

This show has become my new daily wear shoe. I love how much support my feet get in these. It's firm but still cloud-like, similar to memory foam--just a little less bouncy. I am really happy with this purchase. My only complaint is everytime I have owned new balances, they always drag my socks down. Not sure if this is just a defect in the style, or supposed to encourage me to stop wearing ankle socks. LOL

I usually wear 9 or even 9.5. I bought 9. 574 is pretty wide and roomy. I recommend half size down. I bought two pairs, black and Nimbus cloud. Both are a bit big, but comfy and pretty.

I has a pair of these when I was in middle school and loved them so I was eager to get another pair. I would give them five stars because they did not need any breaking in and they look go with many outfits. I'm a TTS 7.5 but had to go up to an 8.5 for full comfort. So I deducted one start for that.

Upon first wear I felt elevated and light as a feather. My only complaint is the toe box is a bit square.

I use it mainly for errands, short walks to cafes/restaurants. It's very comfortable.

This would have been my 3rd pair of New Balance shoes through LLBean. As soon as I took them out of the box I knew they would be too small. My normal size is 8.5m, but my toes were up against the front of the shoes. Sent back for a 9m. Hope it works cause I really like these walking shoes.

I ordered an 8 because that's the size of my last NB. Had to send it back and get a 7.5. What's up with the size inflation in sneaks?? I know my foot hasn't shrunk. It's a very nice shoe, only drawback is I don't like the design on the toe.

I love the design and colour way of this shoe but I wish I had known ahead of time that it was way too small. I am a size 5 women's and honestly that could have fit someone who wears a size 4. I have to bump up to size 6 womens. I first purchased a size 5, then returned and ordered a 5.5 thinking it was better and it's still a bit tight. Too many returns! Anyways going to get a 6.

I ordered the women's size 9 and the fit and comfort level are excellent. Very cute and stylish!
The reason I gave them 4/5 stars is there is less arch support in this style of NB sneakers compared to others.

These shoes are super comfortable but not what I expected. I thought they were the more narrow 70s streamline style but they are definitely a wide foot bed with pronounced rounded toe. Great for someone with white feet!

These are comfortable for walking the dogs. Shoe is wide enough and the toe is reinforced so as to not become a hole! Toe box is also wide. Will be ordering a second pair.

I got these in both black and blue for my every day semi-professional attire. They are great with a t-shirt, jeans and a blazer. Or really any place. They are comfortable, but a little stiff. I wish they were a little more comfy, but would buy again and recommend.

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!
I'd also recommend:
Salomon, Asics, Merrell

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 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.

Classic 574 is the one
