Is this sneaker good for running?

No. It is a lifestyle sneaker with a moderately padded footbed and rubber outsole, not a running shoe. New Balance's running line offers far more cushioning and support.

How does it compare with the New Balance 574?

Both are suede-and-mesh retro styles. The 574 has a more substantial midsole and broader following; this model is lighter on cushioning and has a smaller review base.

Does the suede upper need special care?

Yes. Suede picks up scuffs and water marks, so brush it dry and use a suede protector. Mesh panels are easier to keep clean.

One pair of sneakers. No extra laces or care kit are included.

Is the fit true to size?

Some shoppers report a narrower, snugger fit than expected, so consider going up half a size if you have wide feet.

Our take on the New Balance Suede Sneaker, 10.5, Black

A low-profile New Balance sneaker in a black suede, synthetic and mesh upper with a lace-up front, moderately padded footbed and rubber outsole with traction. It sits in the lifestyle-retro camp rather than the performance running line, so it works best for everyday wear and casual outfits. Against rivals like the 574 or 990, it is lighter on cushioning and support, and its 3.7 rating from 38 shoppers suggests a mixed reception.
