Customer Reviews New Balance Classics 574 Core

I chose New Balance because my last exercise shoes were NB and I thought I would get the same fit. The shoes I received tilt me slightly forward which I don't like. Although I lace the shoe up as tightly as I can, in this shoe the area around my heel feels loose. Strangest shoe I have ever tried on. My original shoes were US made. Maybe that is the difference.

i was so excited for these, and i already own a pair in a 7.5 and they're a little snug. so i ordered the 8. they were ginormous so i returned for the 7.5 which were also ginormous. soooo disappointed

The last three times that I've ordered from them I've had to send the shoes back and it's because of sizing issues. They're very inconsistent. I'm usually size 6 and 1/2 and I go up to a 7 but that's not enough.

The shoes is great other than that I can't wear it without wearing a bandaid on my ankle. The tongue of the shoes is so long that it rubs on my anckle every time I walk causing a raw spot.

The shoes look great however they are too small

Bought in September, wore a couple of times and now have a rip in my shoe.

I purchased these shoes for my teen daughter. She has had them for three months and there is already a hole in the toe cap.

I love the look of these but I wore them once in a .91 mile walk and had blisters so bad they bled. I have not been able to wear them since.

The dark brown is really a maroon color. I have to send them back.

This is the fourth time I'm returning NB sneakers ..for the past couple of years they don't fit like they used to .. I don't know if you outsource them to someplace else for production .. the fit is completely off .. they were my go to sneaker. Now I have to find another brand.

Good morning, I received my new New Balance sneakers. I normally wear a size 9, which these are. Something just isn't right, I have worn them about 5 times to see if they just needed breaking in since I transitioned from an older pair. These seem miss manufactured as I have never had an issue. I in fact tried on my friends size 8.5 and they feel the exact same size. My tag is a size 9. I really can't wear these as they are so uncomfortable. I have never had an issue. Thank you, Andrea

I absolutely love this shoe. It is extremely comfortable but I tried cleaning them with a clear detergent and water and they are now stained a different color! I've only worn them twice and now I can't wear them anymore!

Not comfortable in any way

Not even a month old sneakers, I wear my sneakers two days a week for 5 hours and they have a hole on the right side of the sneaker.

Shoe came in tight but that wasn't a problem. The problem was it also had yellow dirty stains/marks on each shoe.

These shoes are so cute in the photographs, but when you buy them, because of the way the shoe fits, your foot will slide forward and therefore it's hard to find a size that works with you. Do not buy these online. I bought two and both of them don't work.

I was utterly disappointed after trying on my newly bought shoes NB 574. I've been wearing the 574 style for 10 years and have 3 other pairs of 574 that I bought prior to New Balance changing the structure of the Classic 574 so loved by a few generations of fans. The structure now has a very thin tongue with inside seams that aren't smooth, thus it rubs on your foot causing irritation. NB. Also narrowed not only the bottom outsole on the heal part, but also the shoe itself, so my toes were squeezed into a smaller toe bed and it causes discomfort. The materials used are also thinner and less sturdy and supportive. These shoes won't last but a year with frequent use, unlike my old ones that I've been wearing for 5 years. Bad change New Balance. People wear tennis shoes for comfort and support. Our feet are the foundation to our body structure. Don't go along with the mainstream to make ALL shoes "lite" and "airy". I Returned this low quality version of the Classic 574.

I ordered these shoes in April and only a few months later, they have ripped on one wide. I haven't been to hard on these shoes so it's disappointing. The quality must not be so great.

I typically love new balance shoes but these ones were not that great. I don't love the rounded toe and they don't fit as comfortably as most new balance shoes. I would also go 1/2 size larger since the fit is wonky m, my toes hit the inside front of shoe.

I purchased 6.5 but it was way too small like kid's

I have wanted these shoes for the longest time. They finally came back in stock in my size. I bought them so excited! They came in and they didn't fit like a 9. They fit like an 8. And they were so uncomfortable. Such a let down.

I returned them because of the defects in the left shoe. The toe had an indented toe take would come out and the arch support seem to be inconsistent with the right shoe. I loved the look and the fit and would like to have them replaced.

Ughh I really really wanted to like these as I have been eyeing them for awhile now. After reading the reviews, I purchased the Nimbus Cloud w White in both my usual shoe size in 7 and also 7.5 (incase they really did run small). When they arrived, I noticed the suede was a slightly different shade from one another. The size 7 pair was slightly darker than 7.5. Also the material of the suede on one pair was a smooth, soft finish while the other pair had a rough suede finish. As for the fit, the size 7 was snug.. My big toe was touching the front of the shoe while the 7.5 was just too big! I'm super bummed to have to return both pairs as these would've been my first pair of New Balance shoes.
