Great Walking Shoes. I do a LOT of city walking, and as a result I have a few demands of my footwear, 1. Comfort. I love my full brogue wing tips from Church's, however, for city walking, my Newbies are more comfortable. They have good materials and padding in the right spot for my foot shape. I never have to worry about a blister from a poorly constructed part of the shoe. This aspect is sadly not an industry standard. 2. Cushion. These shoes got it, and how! 3. Breathability. With the amount of walking I do, shoes that breathe are a necessity. These have a nylon mesh above the toes which help with wicking away moisture. 4. Lightweight. These shoes weigh very little, which helps prevent fatigue when walking long distances. 5. Look. The last thing I want to look like is one of those old men in the gym who are wearing the same white sneakers they bought when Reagan was in office. You know the ones I'm talking about, the ones whose shoes are now cracked and weather checked just like the tires on grandpa’s station wagon. On the other hand, I don't feel the need for my footwear to look as if it was inspired by the latest Kanye West video with excessive splashes of day-glo colors. I need functionality without looking like a peacock, thank you very much. And these work well for that.

These were my first pair of 574's in several years, and while still a great shoe, I'm disappointed that they seem to offer less cushioning then they once did. The fit seems as wonderful as always, but unlike my latest pair, the older ones felt like you were walking on air when you first put them on. These are more stiff, which seems pretty typical for less expensive shoes today, even though I paid more than I ever have for a pair of 574s. Overall, it's still a great shoe, but it doesn't seem to exhibit the high standards for comfort that it once did. I'm sure that I'll be satisfied with them, nonetheless, but less cushioning means that I'll probably look around before buying another pair. I also want to add that I've been a happy New Balance customer for 20 years, but the last few pairs have not held up to the high expectations I have for the brand. My favorite shoes of late have all been other brands, which makes me think that New Balance isn't the same shoe it once was.

Finally - In an attempt to find a shoe I could walk, exercise, and jog in, I purchased 3 other pairs of shoes through Zappos. No other shoe seemed to work. They were either too narrow or too tight in certain areas. I measured myself to double check my size that I had been wearing for the last 10 to 15 years and I was still there but the salesman explained that some running shoes are cut a little thin he suggested I go up a size or go wide. I did and it worked. I must also add that Zappos claim to have free shipping both ways is true. I've sent back about four pairs of shoes and was never charged on red cent for shipping. Thanks

I hope they never stop making these shoes. I purchased the NB M574 at a store. The EE width, 9.5 were perfect. While shopping one day, I found another pair on the sale rack but they were D width, 10. I bought them anyway and BLEH. A friend told me of Zappos and I decided to buy 2 more pairs in EE width, 9.5, different colors. I have found the only fashion sneaker I will wear... EVER. Did I say EVER? Yup, EVER. I have three pairs and plan on buying a couple more; much to the chagrin of my partner. I recommend them highly BUT make sure you have the correct size.

Very impressed - These shoes are the best ever. I have owned three pairs now. I have never considered buying a wide sized shoe, but after wearing the first two pairs for a long time, I noticed a little bulge where my pinky toe was sticking out. I didn't really feel that the shoes were too narrow, quite the opposite… they felt great, but this time around I decided to buy the wider size, and it turned out to be a great decision. They fit like a dream. A great all around shoe. I wouldn't run in it though.

Awesome, awesome shoe. I\'ve been wearing these sneakers for probably the last 5 years now. These are the best casual sneakers period. They are very comfortable and look great--everytime I get a new pair I get compliments. I\'ve had my current pair for 2 years now because NB doesn\'t produce the color anymore and I\'m too lazy to find a replacement. They\'ve lasted pretty well though, probably because I finally went with the right size. And they STILL get compliments. Get these. Now.

One of the Better sneakers I have used!! For some strange anatomical reason, my left toe seems to want to protrude through the cap of any shoe that I wear. Sometimes the cap expands on its own and accommodates the truant toe, and others haven’t, causing me endless pain and to discard fairly new shoes. On this occasion, the salesperson suggested that I order a half size bigger shoe. It worked! Thank you Zappos.

Nice looking shoe. I'm not sure if I will keep this shoe. I love the style; however, the bottom of the shoe is very flat which makes it feel weird when walking. The sole of the shoe is very hard as well, which makes me think it will hurt my feet if I wear them all day. One shoe had a bend in it; the bent one has noticeably different feel when walking.

The shoe fits! I'm a big guy with a big foot, so big apparently I need to buy all my shoes online! The New Balance is great, comfortable, and gives better arch support than most shoes I've worn in the past. I just wish I could keep them the way they look the first day out of the box. As a bonus Zappos gave me free next day shipping too!

Wow Zappos! I placed my order yesterday and had my shoes the next morning! I was a little hesitant about ordering these NBs since I last wore this style in the late 1990s, but I forgot how nice they look and the arch support they offer! The width is a *tad* snug, but nowhere near approaching a level of uncomfort. They are also true to size. A great shoe!
