I was worried when these arrived because they were pretty stiff, but after about a week of wearing them, they broke in very nicely and are awesome! They look great with casual outfits and are fairly comfortable. I do have somewhat wide feet and after several hours of wearing, my dogs are barking, but that's nothing new.

I love, love these. Prettier than anticipated. What else can I say! Nice!

I've put many, many miles on these. I plan on buying another pair. My arches were giving me trouble prior to buying these... now I just have shin splints.

These shoes have always been so flat footed. I put Dr Scholls gel inserts with a little extra arch in them. Works great! Makes them a perfect little summer shoe to run around in.

The first time I saw the "Backpack" line of shoes from New Balance, I knew that I'd one day be adding a pair to my collections of 574's. Nylon uppers just seems like a fantastic idea, since nylon is so easy to clean and keep clean. I liked the idea of being able to get them dirty, knowing that they'll clean up better then other 574's. Because of this, I might even wear them when I normally wouldn't want to get my shoes dirty.
I haven't had them long enough to make that decision, or know exactly how well they'll clean up, but there is something else different about them that immediately caught my attention. Ever since New Balance changed the manufacturing process for the 574's, I think they've been smaller and less comfortable then versions before that time. I just purchased another pair of 574's a couple of weeks back and noticed this immediately when putting them on, as I always do with a new pair of 574's nowadays.
This pair, however, feels more like the older 574's, because they're so comfortable. My first thought was that maybe they made them like the old ones, but after comparing them to numerous other pairs I have, both old and new, I don't think that's it. The soles still match the newer version (i.e. they're more narrow), but still, I'm pretty sure they have more toe room in the uppers, because they both look and feel as if they do.
I've been a little disappointed with every pair I've purchased, since they changed the manufacturing process, because they're just not as comfortable as they used to be. For whatever reason, these, however, seem closer to what I remember a new pair feeling like and that has me really happy. They are very comfortable shoes.

Very nice sneakers, color is vibrant and are the current fashion. My only complaint is they run a little large, I should have gotten a half size smaller.
Reviewer Wendy Levins
lots of compliments and very comfortable, Stylish I have owned a different Pair of Perry Ellis shoes that are 6 years old and still look great
Reviewer Frank A Orr
My sister absolutely loved these. They are well made and the size was absolutely correct.
Reviewer Peter Schimpf
Lite weight, accurate size, not worn a lot yet though.

Tried these New Balance shoes for an extended travel overseas and they were just perfect. They were lightweight for all day wear and very comfortable. Mine was half a size larger than what I would normally wear. The only issue was that the laces were very long (probably would have better if I had laced it through the last two holes) and would sometimes come loose.
