Fit as expected and perfect red.

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.

He looks like a "Sport Model" when he wears them.

Reviewer Terry Beck

I like the shoes they fit comfortable

Reviewer David Vest

I like these better than the stan smiths. they are mesh, so they do get dirty easier, but the price is way better and they look pretty similar.

Great fit, for adults or kids with big feet. Wear a helmet at first! Great fun with you kids.

Converse always run large. I’m an 8, so I ordered 7.5. They’re quality, as i’d expect from Converse. I’ve worn my old pair of All Stars for 10 years or more.

Reviewer KKoshy

These are a nice sleek causal shoe, that fit as expected. They pretty much match with anything which is cool. They are comfortable and seem to be made well. I think my only complaint is the tongue. It's very thin and short, hard to get a grip on it to slip the shoe on. Otherwise overall happy with the shoe.

Order a bit larger! Kids loved them but couldn't wear them long.

So comfortable, The slip right on your feet and are super comfortable even for wide feet they feel like socks with a cushy bottom. These have a pulltab on the heel to make them easy to get on and they do have laces to tighten if you so desire but I don’t need to tighten them because they stay on just fine. The insole is a super soft memory foam and the cushion feel lasts throughout my 2 mile walk- it does not just crush down and stay.
