Off-White Out of Office Out of Office Low 'Orange Blue'

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.

This was a gift for our granddaughter and she loved them. Fit was perfect and so was the color.

Decided to go out on a limb and buy shoes with out going to a store. What a great experience. These shoes were a perfect fit, super comfortable, and great quality. I would suggest to anyone looking for a pair of walking around shoes.

"just like home" when I first put them on. No break-in is required. I don't hesitate recommending these casual shoes.

We bought these shoes for our 13 year old son. As my wife wears a similar shoe size, she tried them on as well. First of all, these look super stylish. What we like most is that they are slip ons so even though they have lace ups for tightening/loosening, they are easy to get on and off (which is crucial for our son to get out the door as he moves slower than molasses). Anyway, both my wife and my son say the soles make them feel like they are walking on marshmallows. They are light weight and super comfortable and thus, perfect for walking. While they haven't yet been tested on a run, my wife (who is a marathon runner) suspects that these shoes do not have enough support for serious runs. However, for long walks and general athletic activities, they should be more than adequate. We highly recommend these shoes based on appearance and comfort.
