New Balance 574

Are these:
Comfy for long walks on city roads but also parks
Easy to clean ( going for grey or navy)
Look ok with dresses?
Ok for narrow-ish feet?

The N looks rather too big, but I am considering ordering a pair as the sales are so good. I assume not waterproof at all.

Any advice appreciated.

I love them and have numerous pairs, but one of reasons I love them is that I have incredibly wide feet (EEE fitting), so you may find they aren't the best fit for you.

That said, trainers are pretty forgiving, so try a pair and see what you think.

Thanks! Maybe I will go into a store and try a pair. They are always recommended as a very versatile trainer for everything, so thought I would consider them as I need comfort these days.

Yeah, I love them but I have wide feet.

574s are incredibly comfortable!

I have had 3/4 pairs now and appreciate they aren't fashionable but I've never found any other trainers that are as comfy.

I go up a whole size in them (normally a 5 and need a 6) Agree they are quite wide fitting - I have average width feet and they are fine on me but I think would be too roomy for anyone with narrow feet.

Not too concerned about fashion, but I think I will make sure to try them on in store to see if they suit my feet.

I think they’re an absolute classic, to be honest. I’ve been wearing them for 30 years.
