Customer Reviews New Balance Classics 574

I like them but the tongue feels cheaply made.

Not very snuggle

Tight around the toes, not enough height in the toe area. Please manufacturers, human feet don't just vary in length and width, they also differ in height.

The fit was ok, but very hard sole, and the tongue went too far up the ankle in the front, so not as comfortable as they could be

Wore only twice. Small toe box. Pimched big toe when I ran. Had to toss them.

This model for some reason fits tight compared to my other New Balance shoes. I wanted these classics to work, but just to tight around my foot. I am 74 and have had many, many NB shoes. These were just too tight, darn.

Size and fit were good. I'm just appalled at the exposed foam on the tongue. Was this a conscious design choice, or was it an effort to save money on materials? Honestly, I really like the shoes, but it feels like they are unfinished. I'm disappointed because the colors are great and they are comfortable. I'll buy several colors if they change the design to add binding or some kind of finished edge around the tongue.

The color was the only cute thing about these, imo. They looked and felt like I was wearing a man's shoe. They were clunky, way too large for me in both length and width and really just looked terrible. I don't understand how a man's shoe is unisex. It's not a neturally shaped shoe, it's shaped for a man's foot. Overall, if you have very wide feet (mine are a fairly reliably true medium width) of if you're someone who struggles to get women's shoes to fit, then definitely try these out. I really like New Balance as a brand, but this concept doesn't work for most women.

I have an older yellow pair which I love and was exited to receive the new one, however the tongue of the shoe looks unfinished. The foam in tongue is not sown in like all other shoes. Makes it look cheap. A real pity because the rest of shoe great. Returning them.

Cute shoe with fatal flaws--unfortunately the sizing is weird and the construction of the tongue is unfinished and looks cheap. I ordered a men's size 5, thinking I could get a little extra width and it would be comparable to a woman's size 7. This shoe seems to run a size smaller than you would expect and the fit was like a women's sz 6. Too small for me! The edge of the tongue is raw foam and it looks shoddy.

like the shoe but major concern was the care and cleaning of the sneaker because of the material

The shoes were fine but I am disappointed with shipping times. I’m not sure when this changed but I’ve been a customer for years and always had free next day shipping. I placed order thinking I would get it before Christmas but I did not and I did not get it with timeframe given. It took over a week to get my order. Not happy with customer service

They were way too narrow

I have always loved the NB 574 but was surprised to see that on the newest model the tongue is not sewn and the inner foam is exposed. This is a serious decline in quality.

material not the best falling apart.

Really poor quality shoe from New Balance. The sole cushioning is work out after two months of wear. They don’t even stitch the fabric on the tongue anymore. It’s just open ended soft foam. Sad

A rare NB miss. Too much detailing and the black label on the side is intrusive. Quite snug for a brand with consistent sizing usually

NB what are you doing with the exposed foam on the tongue of the shoe?!?! I’ll pay $20 more if you will just finish making the shoe!

Not happy with the look the outside was shabby looking

Really like these shoes for style. The size was half size too small. I am typically Size 8 in NB shoes, but I have move up to size 8.5 Neverever worn a size 8.5 in my life. Let's see how they work out.

The color looked nothing like photo
