Our take on the New Balance 574 Core M

The New Balance 574 Core is the plainest version of New Balance's long-running lifestyle sneaker: a suede and mesh upper over an EVA and polyurethane foam midsole, laced, about 11.3 oz per shoe. It is a casual everyday shoe rather than a running shoe, and it suits people who want a roomy, supportive fit and a retro look that works with jeans and chinos. Against modern knit runners it is heavier and less breathable, and against premium 574 variants it uses simpler materials, but owners consistently rate it for comfort and durability at its level.

Questions and answers

Is the New Balance 574 Core good for running?
No. It is a lifestyle sneaker with a foam midsole built for walking and casual wear, not for running or training.
How does it fit compared with other New Balance models?
Most buyers take their usual New Balance size. The standard width runs a little narrow for some, so wide-footed shoppers should consider a wide width.
Is it waterproof?
No. This version has no Gore-Tex lining, and the suede and mesh upper lets water through in rain.
How heavy is it?
About 11.3 oz per shoe in a men's size 8, which is heavier than most current knit sneakers.
What is the difference between the 574 Core and other 574 versions?
The Core uses simpler suede and mesh materials and standard foam cushioning. Premium 574 versions add better materials or upgraded midsoles.
Does it come in large sizes?
Yes. The size run goes well beyond most sneakers, up to men's 18 in some listings.
