Awesome. Any reviews of these yet?

[Saluki91]

New Balance tennis shoes and hiking boots have been good for my wide feet... If they make a golf shoe in similar widths, I will be trying them out!

[dikaia22]

As a guy who has probably owned 10 pairs of 574 and 990's in his life I am definitely going to have to pick up a pair of the 574's for casual and walking rounds!

I wear New Balance running shoes also. Do these golf shoes come in wide? I see in one of the pics it says size D only.

I just checked TGW and they have the 574's in 4E in all sizes!

I just checked too. They only have the all gray shoes in my size. No white and red. Dang it!

[SatelliteGuy]

If they are as comfy as their running shoes.... DONE.... Everyone else is DONE....

I kid...

Kinda...

You do have to give them credit for doing more business inside the US than any other Shoemaker...

Have to wonder if the Golf Shoes will have the " Made in The US " stamp.... The " Assembled in the US " or none at all.

Ask him about the Made in America stuff...

If these are USA built...

It's all I will own.... If they're solid.

[Imp]

I will.

[trying2scratch]

Love the colorways and styles. Simple and clean, materials seem top notch and easy to keep clean. Combine that with the comfort NB is know and these could be a winner.

[blindwillie]

I have a pair of the 574s and they are every bit as good as you would expect from NB. Extreme comfort and very durable. I think NB has a winner here!

[Fore_Man]

Not to rain on any parades, but my inside source at NB told me that they licensed these out. So I'm not exactly sure how much New Balance technology, etc is really in there other than the badging. I think they are testing the water before jumping in.

Others with a connection, see if you can confirm this.

Confirmed yet not to worry.

It is a shame they even put the Minimus name on those. The is nothing minimal about that midsole, they could have so easily based that shoe off of the minimus trail shoes, using the Vibram outsoles and had a winner.

[displayname]

Forget all the clubs, 574 spikes take the cake! This is one thing I did not see coming, and I love it. Even better is the price point. 100% fantastic! I can't wait to get these.

[Stu Knod]

As someone with an orthotic and prosthetic background, (I make braces and artificial limbs, Orthotist/Prosthetist), New balance is the ONLY shoe that I can consistently recommend for many of my patients. I'm eager to see these first hand and applaud New balance for their construction and width variations. Also, most New Balance casual/athletic shoes have cushioned foot beds that are NOT glued in so then can more easily accomodate foot orthotics.

[Jason-PAM]

I will be buying those 574's, no matter where they are manufactured.

Id guess based on price point that these will not be made in the us or their uk facility.

Nonetheless, im picking these up.

[Lesmond]

Looks like I'll be getting those white/red 574's.

[xThor]

574's look great!

[paul.r]

I'm very interested in these. I have wide feet and only wear NB athletic shoes. I used to play in a pair of Minimus Trail shoes but moved on to Trues. I want to look at the Minimus Golf shoes, but am hoping they are close the the "regular" Minimus shoes and have a zero-drop sole like the Trues.

[Agent Jim]

I can't wait!

[Agent Jim]

I hope the 574 is waterproof

[chiguy]

These look pretty darn good. I'd pick up a pair of the 574's and the 2002's.

[GravityRules]

I am VERY excited about the NB line of shoes. I wear Minimus in the gym/running, stoked to take 'em to the course too! Plus it will be a nice change from wearing Trues 100% of the time.

[MJisGOAT]

For me personally New Balance makes the "holy grail" of running shoes in the 1400 and 1600 line. It's a shame that I prefer spikeless, cause I believe these will contend with any other major golf shoe manufacture (granted the market gives them the opportunity).

[Konklifer]

NB Minimus is incredibly comfortable. I am really looking forward to trying these.

[bergtaur]

With the limit in real wide offerings for golfers I'm surprised NB didn't make this move sooner, but I now know what shoes I'm getting this year.
