Great shoes... but the box (which I prefer to save) was totally crushed. Packed in a plastic sack.

They are exactly what I expected. Nice comfortable loaf around shoes not meant to be used as athletic shoes.

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.

My husband loves these shoes and has been wearing a pair for about 2 years. He pronates pretty badly and the old shoes needed replacing because they were losing stability. We ordered this pair knowing he wanted the exact same shoes. They are perfect, with "new shoe" support for his ankles. He loves this shoe because due to Parkinson's he has difficulty tying shoes and wants to be able to step into his shoes. These look and feel like lace-up shoes. He wears them to walk for exercise, but he also wears them to go out running errands etc.

Color was as pictured. Run a little narrow but I’m breaking them in and doing fine.

THEY ARE SUPER COMFY MUCH BETTER THAN CHUCKS, THEY LOOK GREAT, ARE WEARING OK AFTER A MONTH, NOT AS GOOD AS OTHER SPERRYS IVE HAD BEFORE, BUT OVER ALL A VERY GOOD CASUAL SNEAKER

Very happy with the product now that I have replaced the insole with one that adds to the arch support. the insole has also improved the fit which was a little loose. Easy shoe to wear.. comfortable and light weight. I did reverse the shoe lace coming through the top eye .. comes in from below the eye instead of going through the eye from the top of the eye. Not sure how that might have impacted the fit but it does make it easier to get in and out of the shoe. For me .. being able to remove the insole and replace it with one providing more arch support and cushioning has made a big difference.
NEW DEVELOPMENT .. after less than two months of not very frequent use the thin dark grey outer sole(that part that hits the ground) has worn off. Did not realize that the surface that hits the ground was so thin and quick to disappear. This new development has changed my evaluation of these shoes. So .. shoe fits, feels good and looks nice but disappoints when it comes to being worth the money.

I'm keepin em! No need to order a size up with to this model! I wear a size 9 normally and there is plenty of room in these! I am beyond satisfied! I'm a novice runner and am ecstatic to have some decent shoes to say the least!
Reviewer M Fulks
These shoes were a great value for the price. They fit well at the correct size, very light and comfortable, and seem well made. I have had them for a month now and they have held up very well. However, there is a concern that I do not see others have mentioned. The soles are slippery on a smooth surface, they do not seem to grip like most sneakers, and this problem has persisted. Overall, this is not a big problem for me, but I can see this could be an issue for some and felt I needed to mention it.
