Very nice shoe and comfortable.

These are converse shoes. They will fit exactly like all converse shoes will. I'm usually a size 5 womens, it recommended get the size 3, I got the size 3, the size 3 fit.

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.

Super fast shipment on these shoes. Great quality. I have another pair the is 3 years old and still in great condition. I walk on cement floors all day and my feet feel great. Would buy this product from this seller again and recommend to others.

Reviewer Leonard Cain

Comfortable and durable. I recommend these shoes.

Reviewer Frank Smerek

I highly recommend these, super comfortable, only thing that would make them better would be the ability to to make my feet NOT smell like run a marathon in dog sh%t all day, but im sure my 10 hour day, and genetics are more to blame,lol

Got a good 8 moths out of the first pair, thats 8 months of 10 hour days, a Michigan winter, and over 10000 steps of walking within the facility per day, so of course purchased another pair and cheaper this time to boot!

Reviewer David A Zelaya

Overall, a really great shoe. My feet are always getting hot, and these shoes provide great ventilation. They're light and easy to put on. Even so, they seem sturdy. I've been wearing them every day for a few weeks, (walking around, biking, etc.) and they haven't worn down more than any other shoe I've had.

I do think the laces seem a little weak, which is the only thing keeping these shoes from being a 5 star purchase. It's probably worth buying a new pair of laces and doing them up yourself.
