- Is the New Balance 9975 good for everyday walking?
- Yes for short errands and casual days. It is a lifestyle shoe with a fairly firm, flat ride, so it is not the best choice for long walks or standing all day.
- How does it compare with the New Balance 574?
- The 9975 has a chunkier, more layered upper and a more distinctive look. The 574 is lighter, cheaper-feeling on foot and far more widely available, so it is the safer everyday pick.
- Does the 9975 run true to size?
- New Balance lifestyle shoes generally run true to size, and most people can take their usual US size. If you have wide feet or wear thick socks, consider going up half a size.
- Is this shoe meant for running or the gym?
- No. The 9975 is a casual retro sneaker, not a performance running shoe. Use a dedicated running model for training.
- What sizes does it come in?
- It is listed in women's US sizes from 5 to 9, including half sizes. Availability varies by size, and larger sizes are harder to find.
- How do I clean the black upper?
- Wipe it with a damp cloth and mild soap, and air-dry away from direct heat. Avoid the washing machine, which can distort the layered upper and midsole.
