New Balance 530 White Gray Navy

Reviewer M Ruffini

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.

These are the most comfortable Pumas I’ve ever owned. Good price, quick shipping. Happy with this purchase.

Reviewer Vicki J Shofner

Comfortable but not particularly durable. Bottom tread is awkward.

My husband and I bought a pair of these each and we enjoy wearing them around. We are old kids, I suppose, because we are not kids. The shoes change colors, blink, and do all sorts of things - so much fun especially outside at night. And they are so comfortable to wear!!!!!

Fit great for me. Very comfortable and light weight. Holding up very well. Would have bought a second pair if the price didn’t jump $30.00.

Reviewer Josh A Morgon

I ordered the size I normally wear in other brands of shoes and these fit perfect. I have slightly wide feet and the shoes fit comfortably, not too tight and it too loose either. I love the look of these shoes and got many compliments!

I son told me the sneakers fit big. He already wore them, so we will keep the sneakers. I guess he would have to put extra socks.
Thanks god, it is Winter Season.
