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.

Love these shoes. Be sure to order a half size smaller. I have nothing negative to say. Great shoes, great price.

It's always a little nerve-wracking to order shoes online. You never know for sure if they will fit until they arrive. Thankfully, these shoes are true to size and fit my son's feel perfectly. He said they are comfortable and didn't require much of a break-in period. He is very happy with them.

A touch too narrow for the braces to fit unfortunately . Need to find perfect fit.

Found these on line for my husband. He wore them in the sketchers store and the employees complimented him. They said they never had them in the store. Nice looking shoe for the man who loves the outdoors.
Reviewer Kimberly D Brecher
Fits as expected. Got 1 size up after reading reviews and it was perfect
Reviewer Hal Rappaport
Love the shoes. Great quality. Look great! They are flat so working in them I don’t suggest if you’re on your feet all day. Mine hurt pretty bad after.
Reviewer Connie Cope
Great shoes. I'm on my 3rd or 4th pair and will continue to buy
Reviewer Holly M Hopper
The shoes came quickly, like their looks, ordered my dress shoe size and these seem to fit just fine.
