Customer Reviews New Balance Classics U574v2

Awesome classic style. This “red” is a really nice burnt orange, not really a red. Sole is slightly narrower than shoe, not flared like a real running shoe. Runs small, I suggest ordering one or a half size up.

Amazed at how fast these arrived!! I am so happy I ordered a half size up, usually an 8.5 ordered a 9. So comfortable, seem to have excellent arch support too. My high arches need support walking all day working with preschoolers. Get them you won’t be disappointed!!

Ordered 15, too small. Size 16 fit the same as 15 (???), so ordered 17 and they were way too big, now I give up. They have arches but I selected "no arch support" because the arches feel too far back, like almost at my heel.

These are a dream! So comfortable and stylish for this art teacher. However, after about 4 normal (no snow, no rain, just walking around my classroom) wears after a week of receiving these shoes, I have this tear at the toe of the right shoe. Love these shoes, just disappointed since they are not cheap.

These she’s felt true to size, but due to them being unisex, they feel a tad bigger and wider than the womens equal size, which will be ok, especially when I wear a regular sock and not such a thin sock. The color is awesome and will give a trendier and slightly edgier look to jeans or casual pants. Great comfortable shoe.

Lovely trainers but they were very tight at tip of the toe. A half size larger should fit better.

These shoes are flippity fly ya'll. Like walking around with pajamas on your feet. Sheeesh!

Size and fit are perfect. I ordered a womens 8 1/2 and received a mens 7. Tried them on and they fit PERFECT. Much better than the womens 8 1/2 I usually purchase. I have a narrow foot and these didn't come in narrow. But the men's fit great.

NB tend to have a wide toe box which I like. Love the retro style, may not be the most fashionable, but nostalgic for me. I wear them often for walking around/leisure, and they are always comfortable. Good cushion and arch support.

Had to order a 1/2 size smaller because the fit was a little larger than other shoes of the same size. Style is great!

The shoe is great! Nice classic design, very comfortable. I ordered 1/2 size up just in case because a couple reviews said the shoe was a little snug, and I am glad I did. I have just the right amount of toe space.

Purchased for my Mom. The retro stying adds a bit of fun and they were a great fit for her. The insole is also removable so she can add her own. Great everyday shoe with a sturdy feel.

I had been wanting to try a pair of New Balance for quite some time. I've mainly been wearing some variety of Adidas Ultra boost and was hesitant to go back to a non-boost shoe. I'm glad I did! These feel great and have a wider toe box that adds to the comfort. I probably could have gone down a half size, but these still fit well.

DEPENDING ON WHICH SRYLE YOU GET YOU WOULD HAVE TO SIZE UP. THE CLASSIC 574 ARE LIKE UGGS THEY GO ON A LITTLE SNUG UNTIL YOU BREAK THEM IN AND THEY STRETCH TO YOUR FOOT. YOU ALSO HAVE TO REMEMBER THESE SBEAKERS ARE UNISEX SO FOR EXAMPLE IF YOU WEAR A WOMENS 9 TYPICALLY YOU WOULD GET A MENS 7.5 OR 8 I GO WITH THE 8 SINCE THE SHOE MAY LOOK CURVEY IN THE FRONT BUT IT'S NARROW ON THE INSIDE. I HOPE THIS HELPS. I'M A FIRM BELIVER OF NEW BALANCE I HAVE JUST ABOUT EVERY COLOR IN THE 574 CLASSIC AND DIFFERENT ONES IN DIFFERENT STYLES. JUST REMEMBER THESE SHOES ARE PERFECT IF YOUR ON YOUR FEET ALL DAY LONG AND HELPS YOU OUT ID YOU SUFFER WITH FEET PROBLEMS LIKE PLANTERS FIACIATIS. A MUST HAVE STAPLE FOR YOUR FEET. STOP BUYING THOS JORDAN'S AND OTHER NAME BRANDS THOSE ARE JUST FOR FASHION THESE ARE FASHION, STYLE. AND A GOOD PRESCRIPTION FOR YOUR FEET.

I’m not sure why anyone would need a review for New Balance shoes because I have a dozen pairs (some VERY old) and they really do make my feet feel like walking on clouds. My only complaint is that I would prefer a 12.5 but that’s not an option. The 12 still fits nice. I’m very active and it’s not uncommon for me to be in a shoe 15-16 hours a day. Very few brands forgive me for that like these bad boys. Do it. Your feet deserve it.

I liked the shoes except they were too big in the heel, slipped up & down.

Aesthetically the shoes are lovely! But they run small. I will return and purchase an entire size up.

I’ve been trying to find the grey and white 574’s for a while now since new balance took them off their website. They fit nicely I noticed that my right pair fit a little bit more snug than my left pair. But I just used a hairdryer to stretch out the right pair a little bit and it fit just like the left pair. Overall the shoes look great and it’s definitely going to be a staple for all seasons.
