Too narrow in the toe box area and I don't have wide feet

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.

This is the first work shoe that is narrow enough for my husband’s foot. We are buying a second pair to have on hand because they are so comfortable and sturdy.
Reviewer Terry Beck
I like the shoes they fit comfortable
Reviewer M David Dial Jr
Very nice. I would recommend them.
Reviewer Tim Torok
They are super comfortable for my sore feet.

These are my favorite sneakers. In my case, many shoes don't provide good arch support so I use Dr. Scholl's custom foot orthotic.

I bought these for my dad. Originally I was going to buy some Skechers and decided these would be best. I trust Puma as I have been wearing them for many years and they are comfortable and a long lasting well made shoe. My dad gets compliments all the time and they are light weight and comfortable as he says.

These are good shoes. They are very plain and minimalist, but they are also sleek and hip. They are comfortable enough but don't provide the greatest amount of support, which is not surprising, considering the style. I found, though, that the size ran a bit bigger than expected.

This is my 5th pair. I really put them to the test, dirt, water, tough conditions. They are comfortable and hold up very well.
