My favorite pair of sneakers. Fits true to size
Reviewer Maria L Price
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.

Perfect fit for size and comfort. Good support and cushioned footbed.
Lashes just right length--some other brands (New Balance) are way too long.
And---good looking.
Reviewer TRUDI
They machine wash very well, as they are canvas rather than ultra suede. I like the extra wideness as I like to stretch out my toes. I find the green a bit too bright. I prefer the blue ones.

Christmas gift for my son. He wears a size 15. He says they are very comfortable and really likes them. Thank you for carrying these shoes in larger sizes which are hard to find.

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.

Very nice Canvas shoes with good style. The white toe part needs to be cleaned if something spills on it and it's very easy to clean as well.
Fits tight and nice for my foot and works comfortably well for medium distance walks.
Overall, it's good for its price.
Will update this review as time goes by.

When my husband's sneakers started wearing out after only a couple of months, he picked these out on Amazon and has been raving about them ever since. He wears a size 8, which is what I ordered, and has a very narrow foot. These fit perfectly.
Reviewer J Tee
nice looking shoes. If you are looking for arch support, not a good shoe for that.

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.
