The New Balance 574 Core is a suede-and-mesh lifestyle sneaker built on a wider last than New Balance's older racing silhouettes. Its ENCAP midsole pairs soft foam with a polyurethane rim for all-day support, and the rubber outsole uses 5% recycled rubber. It is a general-purpose casual shoe rather than a performance runner, and it suits people who want one sturdy sneaker for errands, walking and everyday wear. Against slim retro runners it trades lightness for a roomier fit and more structure, and it runs small, so many buyers size up.
