My son is a heavy guy and finding shoes that are supportive and the right width is challenging. He stands on his feet all day so it's important he have comfortable support, and according to him, these shoes do the job very nicely. I plan to buy him another pair when I can.

This is a nice sneaker with plenty of cushion in the sole.
Consider ordering a half size bigger as it tends to run a little small.

I plan on getting another pair soon with a different color. They fit perfect. They even arrived earlier than the estimated delivery date !

Great shoe, very comfortable right out of the box and look great. They seem to run a little big. I had to get a half size smaller than normal.

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.

Surprised that I like these steel toed shoes. I work on concrete floors and my feet never hurt at the end of the day and I don't feel the steel toes.

Great shoe especially at the special price
