The sneaker not only is well crafted, but looks great to the wearer. The style is timeless.

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.

Great fit. Great shoe. Wear it every day in my mostly standing job.
Reviewer Ruth Worley
These are some sick shoes! The quality is superb and they look awesome with jeans and casual wear because of the sneaker style. They are the perfect pair for the high fashion gentleman in your life that also has a bit of edge and he will be sure to receive plenty of compliments.
Reviewer Rita Novella
These are perfect classic tennys to wear all day. Neither too masculine or feminine, light to medium grays in the color. Sole is stable & comfortable without being clunky on. Inside some padding, outer is a strong netting on top of shoe and a layer of material underneath that. I'm 67 and feet have flattened out with time but, these are comfortable support for me all day

Mr friend has a foot problem, these are the only shoes he can wear, and this is the only place to find them in his wide size and preferred color. Scholl's quality is important b/c the way he walks wears one shoe down more quickly than the other, and Scholl's last longer than brands of lesser quality so he gets the longest life out of these.

Purchased this style previously in another color for my teenage nephew and he loved them so I purchased this pair for him as well. He was wearing the other ones all the time so now he can rotate them based on what he is wearing. They are comfortable and stylish all at the same time.

Fit me wrong so had to return but would’ve kept them if they fit.
