They machine wash very well, as they are canvas rather than ultra suede. I like the extra wideness as I like to stretch out my toes. I find the green a bit too bright. I prefer the blue ones.

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.

THese are very nice shoes, well made and a great price. Requested for Christmas by my 14 year old and he is very happy.
Reviewer Yair Ackerman
These shoes are very comfortable as expected once you get them on. A shoe horn is almost required
Reviewer Anthony J Wickel
The shoes are true to size. For those who have wide feet and are used to buy half size up, it will fit ok. Unfortunately, because the clothes is so soft, you will see your toe poking out when walking. Not a problem for normal width feet I am sure.

These are my first Pumas and I must say... I love them. Great neutral gray color, super comfortable, great quality, incredible price. I normally wear a women's size 8.5 so I ordered a size 7 in these. They fit perfectly.

Bought my son these shoes so that he could have something more formal than flip-flops but less casual loafers. As a result he wears them all the time. It is important to purchase ankle socks this way it looks like he's wearing his shoes without socks. As a bonus, he doesn't look like an old man and the young boys body with white crew socks covering his ankles and he gets to be a little bit of a skater/rebel.
