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.

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.

Amazing shoes!
These shoes look just as they are pictured. They are beautiful and well made. My almost 3 year old boy has put them through it all and they still look as good as new. New Balance is my favorite brand for him and these confirmed that for me.

Perfect shoes for active toddler
These shoes are perfect for the very active toddler. They are very soft, have a good grip on the bottom (no sliding) and are wide enough for his feet. Very nice looking shoes too
