Is the 574 good for running?

No. It was designed as a versatile casual shoe, and the firm ENCAP setup suits walking and everyday wear better than distance running.

How does the 574 fit compared with other New Balance models?

It uses a wider last than the brand's narrow racing shapes, so it feels roomier. Try your usual New Balance size first.

ENCAP combines a soft foam core with a durable polyurethane rim, giving cushioning with a stable edge for all-day support.

The wider last gives more room than slim racing silhouettes, which many wide-footed wearers find comfortable.

A suede and mesh upper, with the vamp, collar and tongue mesh made from recycled polyester.

The 574 is simpler and firmer, with less premium cushioning than the 990 line. It is the more casual, everyday option.
