I generally wear 11.5 wide, and I have a fused ankle, so I was shooting in the dark ordering these. They’re awesome! Buying another pair ASAP. Highly recommend!

Best shoes ever. I have been wearing this shoe for 15 years.

My husband goes through shoes like crazy so I try to buy him a pair for his birthday in the summer or for the holidays. Vans are obviously more durable than the $15 shoes from Wal-Mart or Target, but paying the extra $30 for a few extra months is well worth it since my husband can go through 4 pairs of the cheap shoes in 6 months, easy!

I got these for my brother who wears AFOs but they’re too tight in the toe. I’m not sure if going up a side will help. He probably just needs a wider fit.

I've put many, many miles on these. I plan on buying another pair. My arches were giving me trouble prior to buying these... now I just have shin splints.

I've been a big fan of Skechers for about 6 years now. I had surgery back then and asked my nurse what shoes she was wearing. She replied all the nurses wore Skechers, they were the only shoe they found that were comfortable all day.
I decided then to try them since I've always found most shoes uncomfortable and I've been hooked since. These particular shoes are nice looking and just as comfortable as every pair of Skechers I've purchased.
Do they last as long as a "name" brand sneaker? Nope, but I don't care since they are 1/2 the price of what I would spend for the others. All I care about is having a shoe that I can wear all day long without my feet aching and Skechers never fail.

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.
