This is a nicely made driving shoe for occasional use. After all it is only an $80 shoe, just what you would expect from a shoe priced in this category fit was about 1/2 size more than a normal street shoe; and about a 1/2 size less than my normal New Balance size (NB runs one size more than normal street shoes)
The trim outline of the shoe aids in driving small sports cars with narrow clutch/brake areas.

Bought these for my auto tech son, his third pair. On his feet up to 12 hours daily and found that these shoes are very comfortable. Work shoe and sneaker combined.

I am glad I took a chance in these shoes, it’s worth the money!
Reviewer Kym Ben
Super comfy. I can wear with anything. I live in Vans so these are just part of my life.
Reviewer Don Dme
I bought these for my fiance and he adores these shoes. He was been begging for the solid grey ones for a while now and I thought I would surprise him with these. The fit is spot on and they are perfect for him at work, the gym, etc... Super comfy and they match most outfits as well.
Reviewer Jeanette G Powell
These shoes are very comfortable. They also look very sharp. I wear a size 10.5 and the shoe is true to size.
Reviewer David M Conneely
These seem like good shoes. I've had them around two weeks. They were inexpensive and I didn't have super-high expectations for them, basically bought them to work in the garden and such. They're solidly made, though they are plastic - there's no leather or suede on these. They're very comfortable and ran true to size for me. Foot and arch support is good. I have no complaints. Time will tell whether the problems that others have encountered with the soles splitting happens to me. So far, these seem to be in good shape.

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.

I walk on concrete all day and these have held up well for me. I use lock laces with these and they fit perfect.
