Hello, I am interested in your New Balance 574. Is this model good for overpronated feet? Thank you

The shoe itself will not help. If you buy one half size larger than normal and insert a supportive orthotic device I think it will. The shoe itself is rather lightweight and made of fabric which is somewhat stiffer than you expect in a running shoe. My expensive running shoes are "softer" and more flexible to the touch while providing great cushening and shock absorption. Personally, I feel running shoes are so critical, you should buy the best (ie: expensive) you can afford. But, that being said, these will probably work just fine with an insert.

This shoe design is not that wide but it's stretchy . Sorry for my late reply . I just found this question brother

I have used them in a running shoe and the impact absorption has been great. I am sure slow walking with heavy load should get good support too,not sure life of a pair due to prolonged compression though.

Absolutely, go for it. I did, about, 15-yrs ago and now my once FLAT FEET have natural arches. Don't rush it, wear your orthotics for a half hour on day one and then go from there, depending on how you do. I've purchased all my orthotics from ArchCrafters, except for once. I recall that exception, orthotics from another company, was a total mistake cause I gave them to the dumpster. Not the ArchCrafters ; I still use my first pair of their orthotics. Right, they do not wear out. Hillbilly PS. The caviot from Amazon, "not suitable for flat feet", I must assume, is to protect against law suits. Lawyers...

Yes. These are good. You might want to go to a red wing shoe or Walgreen and try a pressure reading for the feet. Gels last only a few months then need replacing

I would go for the extra small especially if your feet are narrow. I had a pair of smalls when they were made by Zura and that is what I ordered this time. Way too big. My shoe size runs 7 1/2 to 8 in regular shoes when I can find something narrow enough. I wear New Balance size 8 1/2 narrow for workouts. I now have a pair of extra smalls in the fins from Aqua Sphere and they seem to be working. I am having a bit of trouble with the left fin rubbing just below my ankle bone but I think it will callas over and be okay. I hope this is helpful for you.

I disagree with others. I have foot drop and use this item. By attaching the cross straps to the sides of the ankle the front of the foot is lifted upwards. Of course, it's just neoprene so a heavy shoe or boot would counteract the effect.

Yes, it's extra wide for people like me with a duck shaped foot. Big and wide feet. These are fabulous. Only took 2 days to break them in properly and now I wear them for about 10 hrs a day at work. Never a foot ache. I'm getting another pair to keep because you never know when they will be available in this style and size again.

I don't know, I have only had custom orthotics that were really expensive, and then I tried the Powerstep Pinacle inserts and have been very happy with them. This way I could buy multiple pairs and put them in the shoes that I wear frequently without having to keep changing them from shoe to shoe. I find them just as good as the custom ones.

By the time I'd purchased it six months or so ago they shipped some sillicon feet with it and you can elect to put them on. Try it without the feet and see if you need them. If they didn't ship you any, just write them as customer service is really good. The feet I had put on are still attached.

Right, I had flat feet myself until I started wearing orthotics. But that was 20-years ago. I no longer have flat feet. ArchCrafters is just protecting itself against law suites, practicing medicine without a license. Also, I've bought about 9 pairs of orthotics from ArtCrafter over the years and they deliver a high quality product. Highly recommend. Hillbilly

I totally agree on the confusion. I think the problem stems from how people prefer their shoes to fit and that everyone's feet are a bit different. I wear a 10 in Nike running shoes and the Shimano 44 is ideal for me.

I do not know. I would give it a try. Are you addressing the footwear aspect too?

The "Large" size used to be specified for size 11 but now has come back into stock with 10.5 as the stated maximum size. Only the manufacturer would be able to say whether the device has changed. Threads have stripped on two units now after about 20 shoes stretched each -&gt; limited life :-(

Yes, I have custom orthotics and they work just fine. I wear a women's size 9 narrow shoe and bought a medium Adjust-a-Heel Lift. I needed to trim it since it was too wide for my shoe. This size might work prefectly for a wide shoe, however.

I wear 7.5 medium women shoe. The balance held thick sole shoe tennis shoes but not thinner sole. My tennis shoe or my boot did not align with my non-injured foot for ended up off balance. I tried wearing with thinner sole but it was loose and became a safety hazard. If you get free return and don't mind hassle of returning, it might be worth the time. Overall, I was disappointed for returning it was not worth the money and I did not use it. If your in north coastal San Diego county, you could have mine.

My feet are wide and they are snug. I think you would be fine. I love mine.
