👟 New Balance Black Workwear Men's Fashion Sneakers - Optimized Shoes for Sneaker Enthusiasts Review

I love 574s. They fit as expected and the construction is decent enough. I ended up sending them back though because they were too orange (solid color) for me when I saw them in person. A navy blue "N" with some dark blue accents, or even a reflective gray "N" would have made them a little more eye-catching for me. For reference, they are lighter orange than the picture here. The picture is a little blurry.

The first pair of 574 sneakers I bought as a gift for myself after grad school in 1988; avid runner and wearer of Asics, Brooks and Saucony shoes. The Nike waffle shoes just didn't give me the support I needed. New Balance promoted the new 574 and I fell in love with these shoes straight away (if you can love shoes). They were highly arched with a soft but firm insole. The stitching was perfect and the shoes were stylish and very comfortable, the shoes held up even after six months of running…

I am disappointed that the leather tears at first sight even after moderate use. It looks like the sutures have weakened the skin enough to rupture, not the thread or suture. Otherwise I would just assume I received a defective or unusual piece of material, but this isn't the first pair from this brand to wear out with a lot of good tread on the outsole.

Sneakers should be new. Visible signs of wear, abrasions on the tips, stains on the bottom of the rubber that look like they have been wiped off, scratches on the back of the shoe. Also, they're in good condition, I can clean up everything, so I keep them to myself.

I ordered in a large selection. I'm a woman between medium and large, and these men didn't fit me. The width is terribly lame. It's by no means wide. Unfortunately I liked the orange color and they would be perfect for walking multiple sclerosis which I am doing in a month. The toe box is particularly narrow, but the overall fit is just plain narrow. Not recommended for those who are wider than narrow.

I buy a men's size specifically because it gives me a better grip. This time I ordered half a size up and it's very wide, but it doesn't seem too wide. I still keep them. I love bright colors! I couldn't beat the price either. New Balance is my favorite brand. After standing in these shoes all day, I noticed a HUGE difference! THANK YOU NEW BALANCE! Now I know that I personally need half a size bigger and wider.

I don't like the fashion for these flat soles. The essence of the molded sole was that it was an advance in shoe technology that had been created for centuries! It has saved millions of us from a lifetime of pain! And now we go back to the Middle Ages? I don't have as much bounce as a naturally molded shoe with a cambered sole and more pronounced healing area, and my feet hurt again which tells me my calves are working TOO HARD every time I take them. In addition, arch support is no longer an…
