A Classic Shoe, Even Better Now
I have been wearing New Balance 574s for well over a decade and really like them. This new version replaces the thickly-padded, narrow tongue with a wider, thin tongue. This, along with a more resilient insole make them even more comfortable (for me, anyway) right out of the box. Great product! UPDATE: The only negative to these shoes is an NB logo/size tag that is wrapped around the end of the tongue and sewn on through the tongue. The seam causes a ridge directly over the arch that is irritating (to me, anyway). I removed the label and the problem went away.

Decent toe room, and quite comfortable
The NB Men's 574 V2 Evergreen Sneakers (black/grey) fit comfortably. I have very flat feet, (fallen arches) so toe room and an arch support that is mild, is the best for me personally. I can feel the arch support with the inserts that come with these, and they feel ok, Not really hard or pronounced like some sneakers I recently tried before buying these that actually were uncomfortable to wear for longer than an hour. They had just enough room in the toe area so my pinky toe wasn't rubbing, which is an issue I hate with those pointy toed sneaker brands. They have a nice rubber sole that has a very grippy tread design that make them good for outdoor activities. They also don't really require any break in time, other than getting used to wearing brand new sneakers after wearing old worn out ones for years, like I did. (Lol. I get attached to things I own) They are very nice looking if you prefer a sneaker that doesn't have all those fancy color patterns like a bag of skittles wild berry, and like something that can be worn with just about any color clothing. That's if fashion means something to you. I like things that are stylish but not loud, so these were perfect. I recommend them if want a comfortable sneaker with really good tread grip, and only need the basic arch support and don't have any medical conditions requiring high arch shoes.

Strong and very high quality sneakers
I love classic sneakers, until my first new balance, I wore mostly Adidas basketball sneakers. I have a rare and non-standard foot size, so I can't find affordable summer sneakers in my country. With the new balance, this problem disappeared by itself, because here on Amazon, I can safely buy size 17 Sneakers without having to bother with many hours of searching. The quality of the material and wear resistance of these models made me very happy, I will buy more!

Just what the doctor ordersed
Nice shoes and comfortable they run half size big I ordered a 10.5 a little big biut thanks to Dr Schols it fixed the half size issue and made then even more comfortable , only issue I have is the boxy design can make my 10.5 foot look like midget feet bit that’s a small quibble for very comfortable shoes

Great Looking Shoe
Bought this for the retro style but surprised by the comfort. The extra width at the toe met my expectations. The inner sole cushion and the fit seems good.The only potential issue is that it's not as stable as my 990v4 or my other running shoes. I compared the width of the footprint to my other shoes, and it definitely has a narrow profile at the heel area. Will have to evaluate it further, but it's a minor issue since I bought it primarily for its looks.

Stick with the classics!
I have been wearing New Balance for the last 10 years and this is now the 3rd pair that I have purchased, these shoes have held up to the test of time! These are my every day shoes and I honestly couldn't ask for anything better. From going on long walks to long days of standing on my feet these shoes have never let me down!

The correct size.
My husband enjoys wearing the shoe, provides good support. The size is 12 and that's what he wears, However his feet seem to be swimming in this shoe and after a while his feet hurt.He has an ideal and they fit perfectly.
