The New Balance 574 Core continues to defy trends and other artificial distinctions to become a fixture in closets all over the world.

Really Comfortable Shoes
These New Balance 574s are the perfect mix of comfort, style, and sustainability. The suede and mesh upper looks sleek while staying breathable, and the ENCAP midsole cushioning gives amazing support for all-day wear. I really like that the EVA foam and rubber outsole include renewable and recycled materials, which makes them an eco-friendlier choice without sacrificing quality. The adjustable lace closure makes it easy to get the perfect fit, and they feel just as good for casual wear as they do for long walks. A classic sneaker that truly lives up to its reputation!

So Comfortable – Perfect for Long Days on My Feet!
This is my first pair of New Balance shoes, and I’m officially a fan for life. I got the original 574s in a size 5.5 wide, and they fit perfectly. I’m on my feet for 8+ hours a day, and these have been incredibly comfortable from the very first wear—no breaking-in needed.They’re supportive, breathable, and have just the right amount of cushioning. The wide fit gives my feet room without feeling bulky, and I really appreciate how lightweight they are for the amount of support they provide.For the quality and comfort, I honestly feel like these are a great value. You can tell they’re built to last, and they’ve already made a huge difference in how my feet feel after a long shift.Plus, I love the dark color—exactly the look I was hoping for. Stylish but low-key, which is exactly my vibe.I already plan to buy another pair. Highly recommend if you want comfort, durability, and style all in one.

Comfort, stylish, True to Size and wider foot bed for comfort, lots of padding
Love New Balance. Has a wider foot bed and so comfy. Also they are trendy and fashion forward.I wear size 8-1/2 normally and these fit perfectly with a thin sock or barefoot. Size 9 is too big.Love the black and grey color and goes great with my new VARLEY black sweat pant set for long travels.This is all I am buying moving forward

Versatile, everyday shoe for running errands, good arch support and overall comfort.
I have been wanting these shoes for a year and a half, and I waited until the weather warmed up here in Ohio to purchase these in gray and white. I highly recommend the iconic gray and white. I ordered the 9 1/2 because for some reason in athletic shoes I need a half size up. I took a star off only because I will have to purchase socks that go above the cuff. I would give these shoes a 4.5. The shoes do provide good arch support and overall comfort; however, the back cuff rubs around my Achilles tendon. I have a more narrow heel. I am hoping that as I wear the shoe, this discomfort will go away.Otherwise, I am very pleased with the look of the shoe, as well as the overall support that I expect from New Balance. I don’t know that I personally would use these for walking/exercise. They are more of a fashion shoe to wear out to run errands, attend events, etc.

Immediately comfortable, good support: flat feet,
I can’t remember the last time I put on shoes that made me feel I could “go so fast!” I walk 2.5 miles every morning and am trying to speed up my step time. I wore these yesterday to break them in, but that wasn’t necessary. They were immediately comfortable, light, and supportive. I’m a 2x plus size, middle age gal, so my feet have gotten wider over the years and the arches are starting to fall. These have a comfortable toe box that didn’t pinch (although a slightly wider box would have been nice), and a good width throughout.

They are comfortable and look great
I absolutely love these shoes.I have wanted a pair of red sneakers since I was about 5 years old and my friend had a pair. These are everything I had hoped for and, after 35 years, my childhood wish has been fulfilled and it makes me happy every time I put them on

Great walking shoe…
I bought these based on recommendations from a FB walking group which is completely unaffiliated with New Balance or any other brand of anything. As a beginner walker, I like the price range. They were comfortable right off the bat. I have regular width (not narrow or wide) feet, and an appreciation for a roomy toe box. Ordering my usual size was perfect. I also like that they don’t make my feet look like boats, even in white.

Die Schuhe passen gut – wie bei New Balance aber immer – hat man eine “Zwischengröße”, sollte man immer die größere Größe auswählen.

Ce n’est pas du 40, mais du 38. Il y a erreur sur la taille du produit.
