How does the Tier 1 compare with the New Balance 574?

The 574 has more heritage cushioning and a suede-and-mesh build. The Tier 1 is lighter and simpler, with a synthetic upper and a more minimal feel.

Is the Tier 1 good for running?

No. It is a lifestyle sneaker with a basic rubber outsole, not a running shoe. Choose a dedicated New Balance running model for training.

It is acceptable for casual wear but less breathable than mesh uppers. Expect warmer feet on hot days or long walks.

It is listed in US adult sizes from 5 to 12, including half sizes. Check the size chart before ordering.

New Balance lifestyle shoes generally fit true to size, though some shoppers prefer a half size up for a roomier fit.

The sneakers come as a pair. No extra laces or accessories are included.
