This model runs small you may consider ordering up from your normal size. ‘The most New Balance shoe ever' says it all right? No actually. The 574 might be our unlikeliest icon. The 574 was built to be a reliable shoe that could do a lot of different things well rather than as a platform for revolutionary technology or as a premium materials showcase. This unassuming unpretentious versatility is exactly what launched the 574 into the ranks of all-time greats. As hybrid road/trail design built on a wider last than the previous generation's narrow racing silhouettes the 574 offered a uniquely versatile mix of new different uncomplicated rugged durable and comfortable that was adopted as a closet staple across the globe. That's why today the 574 is synonymous with the boundary defying New Balance style and worn by anyone.
