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.

I still wear these shoes today. I have to replace the laces and other than that the shoe fits well and is made well.

I bought them as a gift for my husband. He wore them when traveling overseas and walked a lot.
The leather is stylish and elegant. He loves them a lot.

Will buy it and will recommend to buy it. Material, size, color, all is better than expected.

I use this shoe STRICTLY for playing drums so I won't be wearing them for hours. Well, if I play for hours yes, but I won't be using them to go to the stores, or around the town. I do have a wide foot, and they do stretch outward, but the tip remains narrow and it looks funny. Sort of like a shark if you look top down. But, the sole is thin and I'm able to feel the pedal much better. I owned an older model for many, many years and when they finally wore out, I opted to by another pair. I like these, they have a nice lining inside and make the shoe very comfortable. If you have a wide foot, be warned

Nice fitting shoes. Good construction.

no arch support and thin insole. Looks like you could replace the insole if needed but they don't look tall enough to accommodate arch supports or orthotics. Not important to my teenager but felt it worth mentioning for adults.

Very attractive casual shoe. They are comfortable and look great with jeans and a T-shirt. Cannot comment on their longevity, but I didn’t pay much for them so I don’t expect them to last for years or anything.

I have been wearing Skechers for the last 15 years for walking and playing golf. It is the only shoe I will buy for either of those needs.
