The brand new teenager in the house has developed a love for Chucks. We love that we can order them instead of driving 2 hours to the nearest mall. Great quality and price.

Reviewer Maria L Price

This is a nicely made driving shoe for occasional use. After all it is only an $80 shoe, just what you would expect from a shoe priced in this category fit was about 1/2 size more than a normal street shoe; and about a 1/2 size less than my normal New Balance size (NB runs one size more than normal street shoes)

The trim outline of the shoe aids in driving small sports cars with narrow clutch/brake areas.

I have been wearing new balance but I needed an x-tra wide width so I gave these a try. I love them. very well made, very comfortable and the fit was great. highly recommend, especially if you need the x-tra wide width

Having worn 574s for about 15 years I was interested to try the 373. The main difference is in the overall bulk of the shoe. The 373 is much more form fitting with a slightly lower ankle and slightly thinner sole. Comfort is comparable in both shoes, but from a fashion point of view they compliment clothes differently. The 373 I wear with slimmer jeans that have smaller cuffs, which I still prefer the 574 when wearing a boot cut jean or shorts.

I bought these for my husband. He loves these shoes. The color is perfect and they fit perfect.

Reviewer julie ashmore

I love these snickers. Perfect fit and don't have to bother with shoe laces. Very comfortable.

The first time I saw the "Backpack" line of shoes from New Balance, I knew that I'd one day be adding a pair to my collections of 574's. Nylon uppers just seems like a fantastic idea, since nylon is so easy to clean and keep clean. I liked the idea of being able to get them dirty, knowing that they'll clean up better then other 574's. Because of this, I might even wear them when I normally wouldn't want to get my shoes dirty.

I haven't had them long enough to make that decision, or know exactly how well they'll clean up, but there is something else different about them that immediately caught my attention. Ever since New Balance changed the manufacturing process for the 574's, I think they've been smaller and less comfortable then versions before that time. I just purchased another pair of 574's a couple of weeks back and noticed this immediately when putting them on, as I always do with a new pair of 574's nowadays.

This pair, however, feels more like the older 574's, because they're so comfortable. My first thought was that maybe they made them like the old ones, but after comparing them to numerous other pairs I have, both old and new, I don't think that's it. The soles still match the newer version (i.e. they're more narrow), but still, I'm pretty sure they have more toe room in the uppers, because they both look and feel as if they do.

I've been a little disappointed with every pair I've purchased, since they changed the manufacturing process, because they're just not as comfortable as they used to be. For whatever reason, these, however, seem closer to what I remember a new pair feeling like and that has me really happy. They are very comfortable shoes.

My hubby wore the Vibram 5 toe shoes for years but I didn't like the fact of no support so switched to the Skeletoes. Keep in mind all you switchovers that these are 4 toes; the last two fit together. But hubby really likes them, the price is way better than Vibram and he wears them all day and his back no longer hurts. He still wears the Vibrams for scuba-diving....me too. I did buy him a pair of the cushioned sole Vibrams but he didn't like the lace up style and didn't have velcro version (still don't know if they do). But these Skeletoes are amazing for him and I'm glad he's finally getting the support he needs as he's on his feet all day long. Great product and great price.

Reviewer Sevak Kazaryan

I was blessed, I ordered them half size smaller and they fit perfectly. They are so comfortable too. Love them.

Reviewer M A McAuley

Packed well and looks great. Fits perfectly. Weather has been terrible most likely won't wear until spring. Box and packaging was great as well.
