Reviewer Tim Brandt

Like these shoes alot....stylish and extremely comfortable. I normally wear a 10 1/2 in a regular shoe. Some skechers have been a tad tight so now normally order an 11. I ordered an 11 in these and they fit perfect but with no extra room.

I use these to keep my feet from being shredded by the concrete during water exercises. The men's have a less restrictive toe box that lets my big toe be comfortable.

Our grandson loves these for bike riding!

I normally only wear 574's from New Balance, but I purchased these because they share the same shoe last and they're similar. I can't say that I like them as well, but they're alright.

I believe the mid-soles are different, and while I think I like the 574 mid-sole better, the 565 doesn't seem bad. One thing I definitely don't like as well is the lack of mesh in the all-suede upper. They probably don't breath as well, but that's not a huge factor for me in a suede shoe. I just like the looks of the mesh/suede combo better then the all-suede shoe.

I saved my final criticism for last, because it applies to both the 565 and 574 models of "Lifestyle and Retro" shoes. These are the ones with model numbers that start with "ml". I don't like them because they appear to be the hipster version of New Balance shoes, with laces that usually match the suede. Like any good hipster shoe, they seem to be more narrow, which is antithetical to the very thing that made the 574, and probably 565, popular shoes in the first place (i.e. spacious.) Even though these are supposedly made on the same shoe last as other models in the line, they definitely don't have the advertised toe depth of the SL-2 shoe last. I've also noticed that many New Balance shoes made on the SL-2 last don't seem to be as wide as they used to be, so that issue probably isn't for the lifestyle and retro shoes alone.

Seems strange that New Balance would ruin a popular line of shoes by changing the very things that made them popular, but that's what they seem to be doing. For customers that want a more narrow 574, it seems like New Balance would just suggest the 363 or one of their models made on narrow shoe lasts. Regardless, I wish they'd leave the SL-2 shoes alone, so that customer who appreciate them can continue to do so. I've worn them for 20 years and the only thing that will stop that is if New Balance changes the shoes so much that they're not the same.

Nice shoe for the price, but price jumped a day after I added in my cart. Strange and unethical. No complains so far

Reviewer Liesbeth Renders

My son said very comfy and classy on. Nice change from always wearing adidas

Reviewer Patricia O Bigsby

Was hard to wear due to my toes crunching up at the end of the shoe.
I wear a size 8 and ordered a size 8, had to return them and get another size.

Reviewer MomtoGabe

Bought these with my birthday money and exactly what I wanted!
