- Is the New Balance 574 good for walking all day?
- Yes. The EVA midsole and cushioned insole give more support than flat fashion sneakers, and owners wear them for long days on foot. They are not a running shoe.
- Does the 574 run true to size?
- Most women find it true to size, but the 574 has a roomier toe box than slim sneakers. If you are between sizes or want a snug fit, consider sizing down half a size.
- Can I get the 574 in a wide width?
- Yes. This women's version comes in normal and wide widths, which is a real advantage over most retro sneakers that only come in one width.
- Is the 574 good for rainy weather?
- No. This version has no Gore-Tex membrane, and the suede and textile upper absorbs water. Treat it with a protector or save it for dry days.
- How does the 574 compare with the New Balance 990?
- The 574 is a flatter, firmer lifestyle shoe with less cushioning. The 990 is a premium, plusher runner with more support, but it is bulkier and less of a classic retro look.
- What is the upper made of?
- A mix of suede, leather and polyester, with a synthetic and textile lining. The rubber outsole and EVA midsole handle the base.
