Customer Reviews New Balance Classics 574 Core

Love, love, love the shoe! Due to a super short toe box, I would absolutely recommend sizing up a half size to accommodate because I have to return mine for that reason. I think sizing is most comparable to Nike shoes, for me, at least.

i read the reviews and listened. i sized up by a 1/2. shouldve sized an entire size up. im a size 8, i got 8 1/2. shouldve gotten a size 9. they run small in length, the width is just fine. honestly, i feel like with the size up, i got more width in the shoe rather than length. idk. its sized weird. but otherwise, i put in my orthopedic insoles and it feels like im walking on clouds- i wear these at work. but truly, my big toe starts hurting because its like right there on the tip of the shoe. then it makes me arch feel really stiff. shouldve returned it or exchanged it, but i didnt have a replacement pair for my job to wear in the meantime and didnt wanna deal with the hassle. but truly, other than the sizing issue, these shoes wouldve been amazing, and i still wear them every day that i work. id give them a 6.5-7/10. maybe if i went with a full size up, id rate it a 7.5-8/10. but who can say, now that ive settled on keeping them? lol

I was excited to receive these but when I did one shoe was darker then the other. One looked worn and the quality was not what I expected.

I usually am a true 7 in all shoes but in this shoe my toes touched the front. Since it the design has a smaller toe box, I decided to return and get a 1/2 size up. I originally bought the nimbus cloud colorway but now that I am returning them I am considering getting a different color instead The white was much more vibrant and less of a cream/off white than I was expecting...Overall I think they are super cute and comfortable - - just go up a 1/2 size!!

My daughter loved them but not true to size. Next size not available so having to shop elsewhere

Order a half size up. I'm disappointed I kept and didn't return they are definitely too small on me.

The tongues on the shoes are not strights hurts foot

I am a true size 7 for shoes. I ordered this shoe in a half larger, as was recommended. The shoe runs really small. My toes were crushed in the 71/2. A nice looking shoe, but obviously one that best not be ordered on line. Required to try on.

I was looking for a replacement for the 577. The shoe is not it. The feel and stride was different. Very easy to return.

I usually wear a 5.5 so ordered. Too small so I returned them and ordered a 6 - still small - can't figure out why shoe sizes are so far off from just a year ago

Was really excited about these, they're a little uncomfortable and you need to size up. I don't have a new balance in my area to return and don't want to go through the hassle of delivering it back.

The tenis shoes are cute, but in my opinion the are uncomfortable. I'm not using them to work out but as casual shoes.

I love the way this shoe looks and sized up as recommended (usually wear size 7 and ordered 7.5) but they're still quite tight against my toes :-( it's tolerable so I'll keep them but I wish I ordered a size 8!

I normally wear a size 11A in shoes. I ordered the 970 Core in an 11 1/2 B because New Balance is usually 1/2 size too short on me and my foot has been getting wider in the last few years. Sadly, the shoe was still too short, so I returned it and ordered a size 12B. It hasn't arrived yet, so I don't know if it will fit. I like the appearance of this shoe.

Overall, this shoe works. It is a casual shoe that is trusty and I'll keep them for a while. Ultimately, the shoe runs small and also compresses my toes a bit. I am always a 7.5, and I ordered an 8 due to a note on the site that they run small. Though i sized up when I ordered, they only just fit. They are on the snug side. But also, I have what is considered a narrow foot and still there isn't much room for my toes to spread. They are mildly scrunched, which makes these a bit uncomfortable on days with lots of walking.

The shoes ran a little small. I had them stretched. I have previously purchased two pairs of the 574 and they were good.

New Balance used to make their shoes with a wide toe box. Not anymore! Very disappointing. Don't understand why shoe companies construct their shoes in such a way that the big toe gets forced at an oblique, uncomfortable angle!
