They’re comfortable, come in a huge range of colors and cost less than $100. The 574 is currently ranked as the second most popular shoe on the New Balance website (just behind the 327), and a quick scroll through reviews makes it easy to see why. I did go up a half size based on other reviews and they are a great fit.” – Zappos reviewer Promising Review: “Love these shoes! They were a perfect travel companion for walking 10-plus miles a day in Europe.What We Don’t Like: New Balance suggests these run a half size small.What We Like: available in wide widths, under $100, made partially from recycled materials.I think nowadays they’re pretty true to size, at least for the 574s and also a pair of 990s I have!” The New Balance website often advises on size for each style just underneath the “add to cart” button, so be sure to check there if you’re unsure. “For my very first pair of NBs, a long time ago, I remember I did go up half a size, but then ended up wishing I hadn't. That said Katherine Gillen, Purewow’s senior food editor, said she usually orders true to size for NB’s lifestyle sneakers. I find that New Balance runs about a half size small, especially for running shoes, so usually go up from a 10 to a 10.5 to ensure a roomy and comfortable fit. New Balance makes specific styles for lots of different activities (including soccer, golf, basketball, softball and more), so before you go scrolling through the entire collection, ask yourself: Are these shoes for running? Walking? To inspire envy in your most fashionable friends? You can sort by activity to help narrow your options and make things easier.

All in all, I’d say they’re a solid investment for anyone looking for shoes that will look as good as they feel, without falling apart in a few months’ time. New Balance also offers a wider size range (and multiple width options) for most of its sneakers than competitors like Nike or Adidas. And while they’re certainly not the most affordable sneaker brand out there, they are notably well made and durable, lasting for a very long time. (On a recent walk from my apartment to UPS, a 15 block trek, I spotted no fewer than seven pairs of New Balance sneakers on the feet of stylish Upper West Siders.)īeyond their vintage appeal, New Balance sneakers are incredibly comfortable and put a huge emphasis on support, even for the most fashion-forward lifestyle sneakers. Since then, more and more fashion-minded folks have been adopting the sneaker brand as their go-to, with the 574 and 327 styles actually unseating the 990 as the top picks for 2023. I can attest, starting sometime around fall 2018 this sneaker starting popping up everywhere I looked, most notably on the feet of fashion editors and influencers during fashion week-a stark departure from the usual sea of statement heels. And leading that charge was the 1982 darling, New Balance’s gray 990 shoe.

But most recently it was the very dad shoe which I knew so well that launched the brand back up to must-have status.
