Customer Reviews New Balance Classics U574v1

I love the look of the shoe. They feel a little short but not uncomfortable so I’m keeping them.

I like this shoe and have others in this style. The only reason I am returning is I decided that the green would not go with enough of my clothes. Love these classics!

I love this shoe so much I tried ordering another 574 and it isn't the same! I am now on a quest to understand how to get the same shoe.

I wear orthotics and mine fit into them OK.....They need to put less foam in the tongue.....I do not know why many of the manufacturers are padding the tongues so much.

I’m usually US10.5 in Nike, NB, and Ascis running shoes. And US10 in NoBull (weightlifting), TOMS, and Sperry sneakers. This shoes fits small. I went with US11 for the best fit. Zappos was superb at letting me exchange shoes two times before I find the right fit. Nobody can beat this level of customer service. Buying all my shoes from Zappos from now on.

I absolutely love the style, colors, and texture of this shoe. I have a narrow foot but this shoe feels tight. Other than that, I love this shoe.

Stylish color selection and fit true to size. Insoles could be a bit better as they wear out faster than the rest of the shoe.

I normally wear a mens size 9 medium width in most footwear but in this case i had to return them for a 9.5 much better more toe room very comfortable

These took a few wears to get used to but now I love them. Out of the box I was a bit shocked by the exposed foam tongue which I didn’t notice in the pictures. I hope that stitching holds up. I’ve put a lot of miles in these shoes already and my feet don’t start hurting until I’m at mile 7 or so for the day, which is pretty damn good in my opinion.

One shoe surface falling part.

Really stylish and comfortable. I couldn't go a ½ size bigger, but feels more snug than running shoes.

It's very slightly short. I trimmed my big toe nail and that took care of it for me. A half size larger would not work, I did that before and pulling out the inner sole and replacing it with a fake orthotic was fine with a half size up but I did not want to do that this time.

They are ADORABLE in person. I’m in love. Pretty comfortable and a wider toe box. My only gripe is the tongue and back around the top of heel do rub so I’m having to wear longer socks.

I bought for my grandson for Easter. He picked this sneaker. Looks good!

These shoes are cute and I love the NB brand. But the back comes up way too high on these and pushes into the ankle bones. I am hoping they will soften up, but after 5 uses, no such luck yet. This seems like a design flaw. I’ve had one other pair of NB shoes with this same issue.

The size seems to be changing over time. I'm always sending shoes back for another 1/2 size larger. It may be my age (76) and my feet are getting bigger but this is an on going problem. Third pair in some months now that I've purchased and had to return. The pair I purchased previous to this pair I have been wearing for ~6 or 7 months now and are too small.

The suede seemed roughed up but otherwise cool shoe

I would've kept these, except the arch support was in the wrong place for my foot. Bummer.

Orignionally, I ordered my size (6.5), but they were tight. I ordered a half size up and these are comfortable. The bak heel is deep and do dig into my foot a bit. I'm hoping that breaks in as I wear them and becomes less noticeable.

I thought the shoes felt good but made a mistake and wore them on a walk first thing and got a blister just on left. I found a lump inside the heal of the shoe. I cleaned the shoe and will try again when blister heals.

I have been wearing 574's for years. I just bought the orange version listed here and the only thing I would rate negatively is the foam tongue. Every other pair of of NB 574's I have ever owned had a proper, sewn tongue. This foam thing is cheap looking and I bet it will discolor over time.

I have a wide foot. The mens/womens med is perfect as the toe is cut wider! Very comfortable fit. However, I prefer the cushion inside in some other shoes (a little less synthetic feeling) in other shoes. Also though it looks really nice, you can't wash the suede, and i wear my sneakers hard - working on cement, hiking on trails sometimes with mud etc.

These shoes feel great and fit true to size – I love that there's room in the toe box! Unfortunately the shoe is a much darker grey than pictured. The suede is a shade darker and the fabric is two or three shades darker. I was hoping for a more neutral shoe.
