Is the New Balance 247 good for wide feet?

Yes. This is the 2E wide version, which gives extra room through the forefoot. The standard 247 runs narrow, so wide-footed buyers should stick with this width.

How does the 247 compare with the New Balance 574?

The 247 is lighter and lower-profile, with a bootie upper and Revlite foam. The 574 has a more structured suede-and-mesh build and a firmer, heavier ride.

What is the 247 2E best used for?

Casual everyday wear, errands and short walks. The thin Revlite cushioning is not built for long runs or all-day standing.

Does the New Balance 247 fit true to size?

Most buyers take their usual New Balance size. If you are between sizes or have a high instep, the snug bootie collar may push you to size up.

One pair of New Balance 247 sneakers in brown, 2E wide. No extra laces or inserts are included.

Is the New Balance 247 2E worth buying?

For wide-footed buyers who want a light retro sneaker, yes. The 2E width is the main draw, since the standard 247 runs narrow. The thin Revlite cushioning and limited stock in this colorway are the trade-offs.
