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

The New Balance 574 Core is the everyday version of New Balance's most recognizable lifestyle sneaker, built with a suede and mesh upper over an EVA foam midsole and rubber outsole. It is a neutral, unisex shoe with a roomy toe box and a classic retro profile that works with jeans, chinos and casual wear. Reviewers like the cushioning and all-day comfort, though some find the shoe heavy and stiff at first. Against slimmer retro runners it offers more support and durability, but it is not a performance running shoe.

Questions and answers

Is the New Balance 574 Core good for walking all day?
Yes. The EVA foam midsole and padded collar make it comfortable for errands, travel and standing shifts. It is heavier than a knit sneaker, so very long walks may feel tiring.
How does the 574 Core compare with the standard 574?
The Core is the baseline 574: suede and mesh upper, EVA midsole, rubber outsole. Other 574 versions add different materials or cushioning, but the shape and fit are the same.
Does the 574 Core run true to size?
Most buyers take their usual size, but a fair number say it runs about a half size large. If you are between sizes or wear thin socks, consider sizing down.
Can I run in the New Balance 574 Core?
It is a lifestyle shoe, not a running shoe. The flat, firm midsole and 11.5 oz weight suit walking and casual wear, not distance running.
Is the 574 Core available in wide widths?
This version is listed in normal width only. New Balance does make wide versions of the 574, so look for a 2E or 4E listing if you need extra room.
What is the upper made of?
Suede and mesh panels over a textile lining, with a rubber outsole and a foam and polyurethane midsole. It is not waterproof.

At Zappos, for $99.95, as of our latest check.
