- Is the New Balance Tier 1 good for running?
- No. It is a lifestyle sneaker with a basic rubber outsole and minimal cushioning. Use a dedicated running shoe for training.
- How does it fit compared with the New Balance 574?
- It runs close to standard New Balance sizing, but the Tier 1 has a slimmer, less padded feel than the 574. Try your usual NB size first.
- Is it true to size?
- Most shoppers should take their normal sneaker size. The mesh upper has some give, so a half size down is only worth considering for a very snug fit.
- Can I wear it in rain?
- Light rain is fine, but the mesh and synthetic upper is not waterproof. Heavy rain will soak through quickly.
- Is it unisex?
- Yes. It is sold in unisex sizing, so men and women can wear the same model.
- What is the upper made of?
- A synthetic and polyester mesh upper with a rubber outsole. It is breathable but not water-resistant.
- Where is the New Balance Tier 1 Synthetic Mesh Unisex Lifestyle Sneakers cheapest?
- At Bernardelli Stores, for $132.88, as of our latest check.
