574 New-B Hook & Loop Shoe supports first steps with secure fit and stability
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"These are some of the best shoes for early walkers. The generous fit gives room for wiggly toes, and the sole adds just enough grip without being too stiff. Plus, the hook-and-loop strap makes dressing fast and frustration-free."
When toddlers are learning to take their first steps, they need a shoe that offers both protection and support—and the New Balance 574 New-B Hook & Loop Shoe delivers exactly that. Designed for the early walker, this shoe features a wide toe box and stable base to help little ones build balance and confidence with every scoot and step.
The hook-and-loop closure makes for quick changes and an adaptable fit as little feet grow, while the synthetic mesh upper provides breathability for all-day play. With durable rubber outsole pods for traction and the Seal of Acceptance from the American Podiatric Medical Association, this shoe is built to support healthy foot development from the very beginning.

Very sturdy, wish we could enjoy for longer!
Very cute and stable. Unfortunately my toddler threw one on a walk so we only got to enjoy for a week.

The Perfect Toddler Sneaker A++
These New Balance 574 toddler sneakers are fantastic! The quality is excellent, and they feel very durable yet lightweight. The fit is perfect for little feet, and my toddler walks and runs comfortably in them with great support. They’re easy to get on and off, and the classic New Balance style looks adorable with any outfit. Highly recommend for parents looking for well-made, stylish everyday shoes for their kids!

Strange Design
Keeps coming off even though it’s the right size. Very difficult to clean and the shoe tongue does not tuck in naturally making it impossible for toddlers to put on by themselves.

Toddler Friendly!
Fit my wide foot toddler perfectly! Easy on and easy off, best pair of shoes I’ve bought for him. He can run, squat and walk so good with these shoes. Will definitely buy another pair when he outgrows these!

H&L version is lower quality than Laces version
We ordered both the hook & loop and laces versions of the 574 for my 4-yr old son. The hook & loop version is lower quality. The h&l show has foam treads for the majority of the shoe bottom, which in our experience wears away quicker and does not provide great traction. However, the laces version of the same shoe has rubber treads for the entire shoe bottom. Overall, the materials and stitching on the laces version also feels higher quality. I am disappointed that a kid-friendly shoe (ie, H&L) isn’t also high quality, especially since it is both the 574 series. Ultimately they really are different shoes and shouldn’t both me called 574s.

Perfect fit for my grandsons chubby feet!
These shoes worked out great after looking and trying so many different shoes. My grandson has fat wide feet and these were perfect for him.
