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.

I like the shoes they fit comfortable

I really like these UMYOGO men's casual skateboarding shoes. The design and color looks like a lightening storm. Very stylish. There really is no arch support in these shoes. Well made and fit true to size for me. Plenty of room in the toe box and moderate cushioning in the sole.

Purchased these for my husband as work shoes and he loved them!
Reviewer Skye Monetti
Exactly what I wanted - fits a little smaller. I wear a 10 in ADIDAS. Reebok is a tad bit smaller
Reviewer Katelyn J Miller
Stiff-feeling - especially around the ankle. I've gone through three pairs of these shoes in black/oatmeal, and they were not stiff at all at any point in time. Not sure what is up with this particular pair. Hoping they will break-in fairly quickly once Spring comes and I wear them more often.
Reviewer Tally Ho
excellent shoes for wide feet
Reviewer A Ilano
They are comfortable and I find the width and length accurate to the one you choose. No problem wearing them all day. My one complaint is the arch support could be better. But overall I like these shoes. I do not think they are made for athletic activities though. But as a walking shoe they are very nice.

I ordered this item via Amazon Online and received it without any delays or problems. The shoes felt great on my feet right out of the box at a most reasonable price! I wear them daily and cherish the comfort and traction. I have had problems with my feet aching before this pair of shoes but now I walk around without any discomfort. The only feature left to evaluate is how they feel on my feet awhile down the road. At present, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this product to others. This is my true story and I'm sticking to it for now! LOL

Great shoe. toe box a little tight but remember this is a leather product and it does stretch a bit with wear.
Great value. Looks fantastic.
