Customer Reviews New Balance Classics U574v2

The shoe design was not liked.

As expected, they were wider in the toe box because they're unisex size- which I wanted! But the downside to that is that the heel is also wider, and no matter what I did my heel slipped out of my shoe frequently, squishing my socks to the bottom of my feet and was just a recipe for blisters, so had to return :(

Had to return my 10 for 10.5

I ordered a women's 9.5 and women's 10 after hearing these ran small. I usually wear a 9.5--sometimes a 9 is better, sometimes a 10 is. I found these ran really small, felt more like an 8.5 than a 9.5. The women's 10 felt more like a 9, but were loose at the ankles. I liked the style and the quality seemed pretty good, but the sizing was just so off, I'd probably have to get a 10.5 or 11 in these!

This shoe is sold as a unisex shoe which is fine but for me, the ankle area was too wide and looked sloppy with my thin ankles.

very comfortable, but (women's) sizing is way off; mine felt a full size too large, and when I looked at the tag, I realized the women's US to European conversion was way off (I ordered a 9.5, and the tag said women's 9.5/eu 41.5, which is a size larger). TLDR, for women's sizing, size down!

I ordered a size 10.5 and I normally wear a 10 but I liked how they fit with socks on and they were very cute. I returned them because I decided against getting a light colored suede sneaker. Too hard to keep clean. Love Zappos easy return policy and will be ordering more shoes from this site.

These are super cute, but not at all comfortable. The heel cup digs into my Achilles so bad, and the shoe bed isn’t particularly cushiony. I can’t wear them if there’s going to be any amount of walking. Maybe after considerable breaking in, but I can’t imagine even getting to that point because I just don’t want to wear them and make the effort. Wish I could return them but I’ve worn them outside too much.

Great color for spring! Not the most comfortable shoes- especially the back rise- I got blisters from the rubbing on the back of my ankle. I'm usually a 10 and had to size up to a 10.5

Right shoe was too large. Felt too off

I like the shoes but my left big toe was jamming the front inside of the shoe. Also I am used to a little more padding in my shoes and these felt hard.

Really comfortable, but the soles squeaked on our flooring.

Disappointed. Expected higher quality from New Balance. These felt poorly constructed with flimsy material. Not soft or cushiony like my other New Balance purchases. Not supportive. Returning these.

This is not safety shoes.

Size was great but the shoes were so dull they were nearly black and the suede looked like it had all balled up. Totally different than my other two 574s. As always Zappos is great about returns. I think this batch of 574s are hit and miss...
