I have gotten 5 pairs of these shoes in different colors. I get compliments all the time. Comfortable for standing around, walking. Love them. I have wide feet so very good for that.
Reviewer Stephen Hand
BOOM! I feel in love with these shoes about 2 years ago. I used to buy vans and Chucks but these have replaced them. To me these are more comfortable than Chucks and Vans. I remove the insoles and insert better quality inserts for long term walking most Chucks and Vans you cannot. The width at the front is wide making it comfortable on the foot. Biggest issue is there is a lot of shoe lace ties so it takes a little bit of time to adjust the tightness with the laces. My third pair Ive purchased.

Too narrow in the toe box area and I don't have wide feet
Reviewer K Fritze
These fit true to size for length, but I find them to be a bit closed in the toe box. They look fantastic - but because of the tight toe area, I find myself only putting them on if I know I'm only going to be wearing them for a few hours. Anything beyond that, and I'll grab a different pair of shoes from the closet...
Reviewer Rreader Lady
Third time buying them.. been wearing them for years and as long as they keep making them I'll keep buying them.
Reviewer Richard C Downes
they did fit as expected and uppers is real leather.
Reviewer MSchulz
I've put many, many miles on these. I plan on buying another pair. My arches were giving me trouble prior to buying these... now I just have shin splints.
Reviewer Em Gallagher
A good pair of hiking boots, but not as good as 'Red Wing or Fyre boots'! I have found them to be somewhat , uncomfortable & prefer my more comfortable 'Combat Boots'!

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.
