Why do we like this deal?
The New Balance 574 sneakers are the quintessential dad shoe, but they’re also a global fashion icon, especially in the US and Japan, worn by everyone from Phife Dawg to Adam Scott to your dad since they launched in the early ’90s. They’re like a universal sneaker, and right now, at the brand’s outlet, you can get a pair at more than half off.
The New Balance 574 is on sale for $42 at Joe’s New Balance Outlet through July 13th. That’s 58% off their normal $100 price tag, thanks to the additional 30% discount that is applied once the shoes are in your cart. We’ve been tracking this shoe for months, and prices range between $49 and $52. At one time, there were about nine shades, but as you can imagine, they sold out fast. What’s different today is that the sizes for the gray colorway are back in stock, and the new color has been added on a separate page.

New Balance launched the 500 series to capitalize on the growing popularity of running, especially trail running, in the 70s and 80s. The 574 borrowed elements from older models like the 575 and 576, but its big innovation was its Encap midsole, a combination of soft foam and a durable polyurethane rim in the heel that provided plenty of support and comfort on the road or trail.
Today’s 574 Core sneakers are just as comfortable and stylish, with the same suede-cloth upper, simple rubber outsole and instantly recognizable but simple shape that has made these shoes popular around the world.

what shoppers are saying
One shopper called these sneakers “the only shoe worth wearing.” Because they are “one of the most comfortable and supportive shoes I have ever worn.”
Others say they are “perfect for walking, city commuting, and the gym (weightlifting and cardio).” The do-it-all nature of these sneakers goes back to their roots as a running shoe for roads and trails, and that’s a common sentiment in the reviews.
If you don’t have a pair of New Balance 574 sneakers, this sale is a great time to get it. If you do, this sale is a great time to get one more thing. There aren’t many sneakers that are as iconic and comfortable as these, so the chance to save nearly 60% on a new pair is one that no one should miss.
