Just a great walking shoe for this old man. Easy on and off, a cushioned sole, and plenty wide. As reviewers stated, they tend to pick up rocks off our driveway.

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.

Packed well and looks great. Fits perfectly. Weather has been terrible most likely won't wear until spring. Box and packaging was great as well.
Reviewer D Scharlotte
The most comfortable shoe I have worn in my life. Really..no kidding!
Reviewer Katherine A Stuart
Probably the best pair of shoes I've bought in the last several years. They're comfortable, sturdy, and stylish. I have no complaints.
Reviewer Sharon K Stobart
Shoe looks great. Size is a bit tight. I am 11.5 and wish i would of gotten a 12. I would recommend getting half size larger.
Reviewer vestalee2
This shoe in size 13 fits me as expected/true to size. They're pretty comfortable. I really like them. I left off one star just because there's a spot on the side that looks a little wrinkled but its only minor. I want the other colors now 👍

Purchased this style previously in another color for my teenage nephew and he loved them so I purchased this pair for him as well. He was wearing the other ones all the time so now he can rotate them based on what he is wearing. They are comfortable and stylish all at the same time.

When my 12-year old son said that he wanted these shoes, I ordered them. I have purchased several New Balance products (for my family) in the past, and have found them to be durable and comfortable. When these arrived (quickly and ahead of schedule I might add), I was pleasantly surprised. They look better in person than the photo. The shoes run true to size (my son wears a 10 ½) and he says that they are very comfortable. He even thinks that they extremely stylish (or as stylish as green shoes, with camouflage accents and orange laces can be). And I will be able to tell you in about 4 months how well they wear (traditionally tennis shoes last about 6 months before they begin to tear up) after he puts some more miles on them. But overall, I give them 5 stars.

These look great and have a decent amount of cushion. Very nice quality sneaker. I've wear to work on more casual days. These go well with jeans or slacks.
