Customer Reviews New Balance Classics U574v1

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

These feel smaller than usual. I have another pair in 7.5 that don't feel this tight. Also, the back of the snearker material is totaly frayed and haggard on both sneakers. The rest of the material is smooth. This can't be how it was designed to look becuase this does not look good at all. The tongue of the snaker is also exposed and you can see the cusion which can't be good in the long run. Returing.

Immediately knew it was way too small. At least half a size, but probably more.

The size was too small. I wish I had ordered a size up. Will be returning.

I can't rate arch support bc I could barely get my foot in the shoe as it was. Can also not rate the shoe for comfort bc it was too tight to tell, even with the laces open wide. Bummer cause these are super cute. The sole also seemed like it had good grip

Too narrow to enjoy. Cute color in person though and style was cool.

Rather uncomfortable, very thin insole with little padding.

These sneakers were small and too narrow. The quality was less than what I expected. I usually like New Balance for the fit and comfort but not this time - I had to return them.

I personally didn't like the quality of this shoe.
