New Balance 574 Core | Women's

The New Balance 574 Core Women’s Sneaker is often called “the most New Balance shoe ever” — and for good reason. Originally designed to be reliable, versatile, and durable rather than flashy, the 574 quickly became an icon of understated style. Its hybrid road-and-trail design offers a balance of cushioning, traction, and stability, making it a favorite for everyday wear.

At the same time, the suede and mesh upper provides breathable comfort and texture, while ENCAP midsole cushioning combines soft EVA foam with a durable polyurethane rim for dependable support. In addition, lightweight EVA foam incorporates bio-based content, and the rubber outsole includes recycled material — giving the 574 a sustainable edge.

Please note: This style tends to run small. Consider ordering up from your normal size for the best fit.
