This is a nicely made driving shoe for occasional use. After all it is only an $80 shoe, just what you would expect from a shoe priced in this category fit was about 1/2 size more than a normal street shoe; and about a 1/2 size less than my normal New Balance size (NB runs one size more than normal street shoes)
The trim outline of the shoe aids in driving small sports cars with narrow clutch/brake areas.

These are very comfortable. Great to slip on and off. Not the best for a workout but better for casual wear. Good for the price.
Reviewer B Willis
For a relaxing promenade or a shopping tour, this sneaker is the one.
The combination of the comfort and the price gave it 5 stars plus.

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.

Arrived as expected. Fit my 13EE feet perfectly!
Expect a year + of use, if worn in normal conditions.
When they fail, the upper separates from the sole, around thefront of the shoe.
I always use Shoe-Goo to repair. I can get an extra 6-8 months of use, after the repair.

The soles are great for all terrains. The memory foam helps to keep my feet from hurting after a long walk. I'm very pleased!

this is the second pair I buy and my husband loves them. I will buy a third, a forth, etc as long as they are available. He is on his feet all day and really support and comfort his feet. great cushioning.
