New Balance 574
By Paige French • Writer • 10 Sep

A sporty shoe that’s had somewhat of a resurgence recently, the New Balance 574 is a silhouette that comes back into fashion time and time again – but, how does the New Balance 574 fit? Is it true to size or does it run big? We’ve got all the answers for you in this definitive New Balance size guide, so when you cop your next pair, you’ll know exactly what size to get!

Often crafted from plush suede and finessed with New Balance’s world-famous ‘N’ logo on the side, this simple-but-effective sneaker has been delivered in countless colourways and everyone has their own personal favourite. From wearable neutrals to bold finishes, this ultra-versatile sneak has tipped its toe in practically every colour palette available. As a brand, New Balance is dedicated to creating the perfect fit. Your shoes should fit perfectly, in your TTS sizing, straight out of the box and they should require no breaking in. There are width options so those among us with wide feet can feel comfortable and most of the colourways, of course, come in a full size run.

Keep scrolling to find out how your New Balance 574 should fit and see what our resident product experts think of their favourite pair.

New Balance 574 – What’s The Verdict?

  • FIT: The New Balance 574 fits true to size right out of the box
  • COMFORT: The NB 574 is one of the comfiest sneakers around thanks to expertly designed cushioning

New Balance 574 – What Our Product Specialists Think

“New Balance in general are comfortable, but the 574 is like a dream. ”
Chris, Head of PR and Releases

How does the New Balance 574 fit?

I always go true to size when I’m copping NB574. The quality of these sneakers is unreal, they fit like a glove right out the box and you don’t even really need to break them in.

How does the New Balance 574 fit compared to the Nike Air Max 90?

Both the New Balance 574 and the Nike AM90 run true to size. Sometimes, I’ll get the AM90 half a size up, as the toe is a bit narrow, but generally they’re quite similar.

How do you style yours?

This New Balance silhouette is quite sporty, so I usually wear my 574s with jeans and a tee or some clean grey joggers.

How do you keep your New Balance 574 clean?

The suede can be quite tricky to keep squeaky clean, but it’s nothing a little cleaning solution and hot water can’t fix.

Are they comfortable?

New Balance in general are comfortable, but the 574 is like a dream. The cushioning underfoot is really foamy and bouncy, so you can wear these all day with no problems at all.

What’s your favourite New Balance 574 colourway?

I love the neutral 574s, so the earthy toned iterations take the top spot for me every time.

“I love how casual this design is, so I wear mine with Mom jeans and a baggy jumper! ”

How does the New Balance 574 fit?

I have wide feet and it’s important for me to find the perfect size for comfort! You should be able to wiggle your toes easily in a pair of sneakers and, thanks to New Balance’s width options, I can do so easily with my 574s! I always go true to size.

How does the New Balance 574 fit compared to the Nike Air Max 90?

I always go half a size up in the AM90, as they’re slightly narrower in the toe than the NB574. I would say go TTS for the New Balance 574 and half a size up with the Nike Air Max 90 if you have wider feet.

How do you style yours?

I love how casual this design is, so I wear mine with Mom jeans and a baggy jumper! Comfy-chic is the way forward.

How do you keep yours clean?

Because they’re mostly made from suede, I never wear my 574s out when it’s raining, and I wait for any mud or dirt to dry so I can simply brush it off.

Is the New Balance 574 comfortable?

So comfortable! They’re perfectly cushioned, do you don’t need to break them in, and the insole supports your instep perfectly.

What’s your favourite colourway?

I’m a sucker for a triple-white sneak, so I’d go for that every single time!

“If I’m going on a city break, I take my 574s with me every time, because I know I’ll be able to wear them all day without a single problem. ”
Jack, Writer

How does the New Balance 574 fit?

For me, the New Balance 574 fits true to size. This silhouette gives me enough room to wear slightly thicker socks in the winter and still be comfortable!

How does the New Balance 574 fit compared to the Nike Air Max 90?

Both the NB574 and Nike AM90 fit true to size for me! They’re a similar shape. They both have narrower toe boxes and a lot of cushioning in the heel, so it’s all quite similar for me.

How do you style yours?

I wear mine absolutely everywhere. I think they go with everything! Jeans, cargo pants, joggers… the lot.

How do you clean your New Balance 574?

I don’t really go out of my way to keep my trainers clean. If they get really grubby then I’ll scrub them with a specialist sneaker wipe, but otherwise I just let them do their thing.

Are they comfortable?

The cushioning in the New Balance 574 is so comfortable! If I’m going on a city break, I take my 574s with me every time, because I know I’ll be able to wear them all day without a single problem.

What’s your favourite colourway?

I love the simple black and white New Balance 574. Classic, versatile and seasonless!

New Balance 574: What You Need To Know

An ‘80s icon, the New Balance 574 was originally release during an early era of road running. One of the best running sneakers of its time, this technologically advanced silhouette led the way in stability, speed and comfort – and continues to do so to this day. Utilising details from its predecessors, the 574 took all the best bits from the 575 and 576 and fused them together to create the ultimate hybrid.

Now, the New Balance 574 is retaking the throne as the brand is releasing the legendary shoe in modern colourways. Crafted from premium, durable materials like suede and leather, ENCAP cushioning delivers optimised comfort, while an EVA midsole enhances performance.

These days, the New Balance 574 is more of a lifestyle sneaker than a running shoe, so you’ll often see this silhouette paired with jeans and a tee rather than running shorts and a sweat-wicking top. But, if one thing’s for certain, these retro trainers will never go out of style, so get your hands on a pair now and you won’t regret it!
