Our take on the New Balance Men's 574 Core Sneaker

The New Balance 574 Core is the everyday version of New Balance's long-running 574 line: a suede and textile upper on a foam and EVA midsole with a rubber outsole and an Ortholite insole. It comes in wide and extra-wide widths and a broad size run, which is why it stays popular as a casual walking shoe. It is a heavier, firmer shoe than many modern casual sneakers, so it suits buyers who want a sturdy, classic-looking shoe more than a light, soft one.

Questions and answers

Is the New Balance 574 Core good for wide feet?
Yes. It comes in wide and extra-wide widths, and owners in those sizes often say it is one of the few sneakers that fits without pinching.
How does the 574 Core differ from other 574 models?
The Core is the basic suede and textile version with a foam and EVA midsole. Premium 574s use different materials and sometimes different cushioning, but the shape and sizing are the same.
Does the 574 Core run true to size?
Most owners say it fits true to size. If you are between sizes or wear thick socks, going up half a size or choosing a wide width is the common advice.
Is the 574 Core waterproof?
No. It has no Gore-Tex lining and the suede and textile upper is not water-resistant, so it is best kept for dry conditions.
How much does the New Balance 574 Core weigh?
About 13.6 oz per shoe. That is on the heavier side for a casual sneaker, which some owners notice on long walks.
Is the 574 Core worth it against lighter casual sneakers?
It trades weight and a soft ride for a sturdy suede build, an Ortholite insole and wide sizing. If you want a light, cushioned sneaker, look elsewhere; if you want a durable classic that fits wide feet, it holds up well.
Where is the New Balance Men's 574 Core Sneaker cheapest?
At Zappos, for $99.95, as of our latest check.

Rated 4.3 out of 5 from 4,717 ratings.
