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.

There were a gift. He absolutely loved them Said they are VERY comfortable. Works in a warehouse with lots of walking. They arrived on time. No problem. They were in a bag not a box, box would have been better.

Reviewer Bob Stein

These have always been my goto sneakers. I have tried many other brands and not found anything remotely comfortable for 8-10 hrs of walking on a concrete floor.

Reviewer R Pettijohn

My husband has to stand on his feet for twelve hours a work day and says they fit perfect and do not bother his feet at all.

Reviewer Michigan Mommy

Love these sturdy, wonderful shoes! Will keep buying these.

Reviewer David J Chesser

I loooove these shoes! So pretty and super comfortable. Currently my favorite athletic shoes.

Reviewer Blood Test

Still wear pretty well but a lil tight on the sides. I also don't wear them as much as my other Adidas so I probably need to break them in more. Will buy these again in a 11 and not a 10 1/2 like the other Adidas I own.

Reviewer Lizzy Meg

I like these black shoes.
