The New Balance 574 is the brand's classic 1988 running shoe, here in a little kids' version with a suede and mesh upper, a padded collar and tongue, and ENCAP cushioning. It is a sturdy everyday sneaker for school and play, and the black and white colorway goes with most outfits. Compared with lightweight knit kids' sneakers, it is heavier and more structured, but the rubber outsole and firm polyurethane rim hold up to hard use. Owners rate it well overall, though some mention the fit runs a bit narrow and stiff at first.
