What customers are saying:
Many customers noted that these New Balance 574 sneakers are marketed as unisex, which means they follow men's sizing rather than the traditional women's fit, so it’s a good idea to check conversion charts before ordering. Several customers even shared tips to consider ordering a size down or double-check the conversion if switching from previous women's styles. Customers appreciated the overall comfort and style, despite the sizing surprises. In short, if you keep an eye on the size details, you should be well set for a great pair of sneakers.

Love but too big
April 29, 2023Apparently I didn’t know what “unisex” sizes are. They are about 1-2 inches too big. I’m keeping because I love them but, I’ll have to wear with thicker socks.

Comfortable
March 15, 2023This is a unisex pair of NB 574. My usual size is 7.5/38/24.5. I ordered a pair of size 6.5 basing on previous reviews. It feels a bit tight at first but stretches out quickly after it’s worn. Without socks it has about an index finger in the back for room. The toe box is a bit wider than the women’s NB; size down if you have narrow feet. 6.5 works for me but I would also try size 6 next time if I consider the unisex NB again. Attached a picture of the size conversion from the box. Hope it gives you some ideas to choose your size. It has been comfortable for me walking and hiking so far.

Thought I received the wrong shoes
February 19, 2023The color is NOT the same as in the picture. They are dark navy. There is no lighter blue two-tone look like the pictures show. The shoes are great shoes but they are a different color than shown. They are unisex (so really men’s size ). For sizing conversion just look up men’s to women’s size conversion. New balance has a chart on their website. The sizing chart worked for me.

New Balance® 574 unisex sneakers ItemBJ838
January 3, 2023The person I purchased these shoes for were not the same coloring as depicted on the website. They were not happy with the differences, however, since they had picked these shoes and provided the number to me they were going to keep them. They're disappointed and I'm disappointed, too. It's important that items are pictured are the same as the ones you mail out.

Comfortable walking shoes
January 1, 2023I'm a woman who typically wears a size 8 in shoes (J.Crew, Stuart Weitzman, Tory Burch, etc.). In Nikes, I wear a size 8.5. I bought these in a size 7, and they are v comfortable for walking around. The size 6.5 was too small. I think these must be a little wider because they are unisex.

New Balance
December 28, 2022I'm sorry that the size didn't reflect what you previously ordered. What I will say is New Balance is not owned by J.Crew it's a third party brand which has been consistent throughout the years and women's sizes versus unisex sizes are very different. If you're normally a size 7.5 in woman I'd recommend a 5 or 5.5 unisex. I hope this helps.
