I am so happy these hit the mark. Excellent purchase!
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.

Well made, fit as expected! I'm very happy with the purchase.

These shoes have always been so flat footed. I put Dr Scholls gel inserts with a little extra arch in them. Works great! Makes them a perfect little summer shoe to run around in.

My son loves them, easy on, easy off, no ties!

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.

New Balance makes such nice and affordable shoes. The material does get dirty easily and is hard to clean unless you have the "show cleaners." Pretty sure people can find a crafty way to DIY clean these without having to buy a shoe cleaner, I just have not taken the time to see for myself.

Very nice sneakers, color is vibrant and are the current fashion. My only complaint is they run a little large, I should have gotten a half size smaller.

I ordered this for my father-in-law who is in assisted living. He needs a comfortable shoe that is easy to take on and off. The first pair I ordered was too short and too tight. I reordered a wider shoe one size larger and it fits well and is very comfortable.
Reviewer Wendy Levins
lots of compliments and very comfortable, Stylish I have owned a different Pair of Perry Ellis shoes that are 6 years old and still look great
